The August issue of Grape Vine was posted yesterday and subscribers should have received their copies today. It was so packed with comps, there was no room to include the on-pack shopping list, but as long as your subscription is up to date, do please email me if you would like a copy of it.
I have just returned from a prize break at Swinton Park Hotel in Yorkshire, with a day for two at the cookery school there. The hotel was lovely with superb service and lots of very special little touches. My favourite was the tube of Molton Brown Eye Rescue which was left on our pillows at night in place of the more traditional chocolates, while my husband was delighted to find decanters of gin and whisky provided in the room for us to help ourselves to. (And indeed it would have been rude not to!)
Why not pop over to the Grape Vine website where this month's competition gives you a chance to win both the new DSA theory books, the car version, which contains an entry form for a tiebreaker comp to win a car, and the bike version which contains an entry form for a tiebreaker comp to win £1,000 worth of bike gear.

Update time again
By now you should all have received your mid-month update. The email version should have reached you on Saturday - postal updates were sent out then too, so depending on whether yuo used a 1st or 2nd class stamp on your envelope, it should have reached you on Monday or Tuesday.
No major prizes to report, I'm afraid, but I do seem to have managed to win something almost every day of the Boots/Coke text comp. Mostly vouchers for bottles of Coke, but with a new daily comp on Coke throughout August one of the vouchers just might lead to something bigger!
With the Olympic Games about to start, keep a look out for comps related to them appearing at very short notice. Likely sources will be the sort of snacks and drinks you might (or promoters THINK you might) consume while watching the games on television.

July is here....
.... and your July magazines should be in the post tomorrow (Wednesday) and with luck and a good wind will reach you on Thursday.
Readers have been chastising me for not telling you all about my wins. Well, I wish I had more wins to tell you about! Before I went on holiday, I won two of the £100 Ticketmaster vouchers in the Cornetto comp, and this week I have heard that I have won a "Girl's night in" hamper with perfume, DVDs, champagne, chocolates and a camera. So it looks as if things are picking up.

Back from holiday
I'm back from a fantastic holiday courtesy of a text comp on Miller Light beer which the Co-op ran least year. We visited New York, Washington and Boston - the trouble is, there was so much to see and do that we need another holiday now to recover from it!
I'll be catching up on Grape Vine correspondence over the next few days so if you are waiting for a reply, a sample or an entry form exchange pack from me, it will be with you very soon.

Off on holiday!
I will be away on my prize trip to the USA until 22nd June, so don't forget there will be no update this month and no replies to letters or emails until I get home. And please try to time any entry form swaps you send to arrive after I get back, otherwise I may not be able to open the front door when I come home!

It's on the way
The June issue of Grape Vine has been posted and should reach subscribers today (Tuesday) or tomorrow. It is so packed with comps that the Shopping List and Winning Lines have had to be left out!
Don't forget that there will be no update this month, as I will be on holiday, but I've already found a tiebreaker comp that didn't appear in time for the June magazine, so pop along to your nearest branch of Julian Graves and pick up a copy of the Grapevine Summer Special. Grab a pack of any item containing California Raisins at the same time and hang on to your TR - you will need it for the chance to win a holiday to California. The comp closes 30th June.
