I think I should win this because … I never won anything in my life so far. And I love my boyfriend to bits and would like to surprise him with this wonderful prize!!!
I love my hubby to bits. He is not only my soul mate but my best friend. We have been married for 10 years and I must say it has been the best 10 years of my life. I would like to thank him and show him my love by taking him for a romantic dinner for just the two of us.

I would like to win for my dear friends who’ve were retrenched and lost their house. They deserve to be able to enjoy a nice Valentine’s Dinner and be able to forget about their problems at least for 1 day. Here’s hoping Harold and his wife Blyda win!
My husband really needs to be treated to a wonderful evening. He’s just an awesome husband that works so hard to provide for us. I’d want him to have something very special for Valentine’s.
It will be me and my hubbys 10year anniversary. I just want to show him how much he means to me and our kids. He’s the only one who works and needs a time to just relax.

My husband and I have just celebrated our 12th anniversary, but we could not afford to do anything on the day (19 January) as he has been unemployed since December. It would be really nice to have a relaxing dinner, to get our minds off the daily stress of trying to find a job.

Reason why I think I should win is because me and my husband haven’t had a valentines dinner before cause of his illness and that will be the biggest gift ever for him before he goes to hospital for an operation

It’s been a tough few years for us. My husband deserves a treat and as I’ve been retrenched and finding it difficult to find work, this would be a great opportunity to lift our spirits.
We deserve to win this because we both work hard and work second job and gym everyday and I have worked hard to loose 50kg already and Truly need to sit back and have a ROMANTIC evening out together especially since w just work gym and sleep! This will be so special and we both need it and deserve it to celebrate our LOVE and our LIFE together
Why I deserve to win is because my husband has been very good to me and has provided me with unconditional love and support. Also he has built a life for us that many would dream about. He works very hard and deserves a bit of pampering. I’m unemployed which puts a lot of strain on us financially and this prize would show him how much he really means to me! Thank you :)
Wow ……. I feel Wendy Higgins should get the prize as she does not want it for herself but for dear friends …. so hart warming
My man has been working so incredibly hard lately while trying to pay off his student loans. I’m a student as well, so he’s been trying to spoil me as much as he can, and has even managed to find the time to take really good care of me when I fell ill earlier this year. He needs a break, and because I can’t afford to give him what he deserves, I would LOVE to win this prize for my very own champion :) <3
I would love to win this prize and give it to my mother in law. As they never have time or money to do something like this. And I know both my mother in law and father in law will love the pamper.
ek en my man se anniversary is donerdag dan ons n jaar en 5 maande getroud en dit ons laste maand in Roodepoort verhuis na George, en spandeur so min tyd saam met die wat hy sy werk moet kla kry so ds vroeg oggende uit vir hom en laat ande trug
I love my hubby to bits. He is not only my soul mate but my best friend. We have been married for 10 years and it has been the best years of my life. I would like to thank him and show him how much I adore him by taking him on a romantic dinner for just the two of us. Charntell en Gerrie Mynhardt 079 872 3013
The past 7 months with our new born has put me and hubby under strain not having enough time for one another and putting our relationship last. Just want one night with hubby!!!
My sweet heart as done wonders to impress me & went out of his way for me to win this gift will certainly be a dream to remember I would love to win
I would really love to win this reasons, my fiance and I work in retail and we have very little time togther. We also have a daughter of 5 you guys know what kids are like. But they are both my life and would love to show my fiance how special she is to me and how much I love her! Thanks to everyone and good luCk to the rest of the couples who have entered!
Well, many people have their problems in life and many suffer dearly, so anybody who enters this competition deserves to win, otherwise they wouldnt enter, right?
I do not wish to burden anyone with my own problems, but have avery good reason for wanting a dinner with my fiance of 7 years who has taken on the responsibility of raising my 2 (now teenager) kids from my previous marriage as well as a 2 year old of our own. Trust me, we deserve this!
I would like to win this to rekindle our true love between my hubby and I.we been together 18years and we just had a miscarriage and that has turned our love and life up side down.I think we need this to show each other love and bring us back together.God has a plan for everyone and I’m sure He has one for us as well.Please make us win and hopefully it can bring back our happiness and smiles and love into our lives.God bless all and wait to hear for results.thank you HAPPY VALENTINES DAY
Me and my wife Ronel could not go on holiday last December and a night out will realy mean a lot to us both.
My husband and I will be married for 33years this coming October, and is still very much in love! A romantic Valentines Day dinner for the two of us will definitely be just what the “doctor ordered”!! Thank you Elsabe de Vos 083 256 0179
I believe we as a couple deserve this dinner because we share our love with each other every day. Valentine’s day is just another day. The way it is suppose to be. I cherish my husband each and every day. He is my everything and I try to show him that each and every day. So by winning this dinner we can make that day so much more than it is. Together we are everything I have ever wanted. So by just being together whenever we can – is indescribable. One can only experience love!
“MY BEST FRIEND”
It’s funny how God has brought a blessing into my life, normally one has to search for a friend. Luckily for me I didn’t have to search because God blessed me with one when I least expected it.The greatest blessing of all is the one he has brought into my life “A Best Friend”.
Having you as a friend is a true blessing, you know when I am in pain and hurt, when I’ve been hurt,you encourage me when I fail to believe in myself,you know all my weakness and my flaws.
Sometimes it seems as if you know me better than I know myself.You always want whats best for me and you end up forgetting about yourself. Always suppotive and never judgmetal about anything.
I appreciate you and I am greatful to have you in my life.
This is for a friend who deserve a break for being such a caring person not only to me but to strangers too. Christiana 0824952321 ckgoedi@yahoo.com
On the 14th it will be the 14th valentines day spent with my amazing hubby. How do you express your love for someone that is so perfect? Maybe a dinner for two! That’s a start :). I have an undying love for my pappa bear. He is not only my lover but my best friend to. How can I begin to thank the Lord for my precious gift He has given me. I am so blessed. Every minute spent with my man is an amazing adventure considering what we have been through. I love him so much and I want to spend every minute showing him how much he means to me.
Me and my husband have been married for 16 years and making time for each other is a bit hard, with kids, school, working full time. I would love to spent some time alone with the man of my life. It would be an honor doing this with him.
with my husband having such a difficult time this past year. I would like it if we could spend that quality time together on this special day.
Me and my hubby are elderly people. We both are working from early till late and most weekends. We never spoil ourselves, time and money does not allow that. We don’t know what it is like to go on a holiday (as long as we live, none of us has ever been on a holiday) So, a nice dinner for two would make us feel special. We really can appreciate a bit of fun, love and laughter!
I think my husband I should win! We have been married for 14 years and have never ever even been on Honeymoon! We have six children so going out on our own is often difficult and something we can rarely afford. Thank you for this chance of winning a dream date! My name and facebook name is Tertia Horak.
I’ve done so much wrong to my wife in the past,not realizing how much I hurt her!I really love her with my hole heart and soul and really wanna show her how much she means to me!I don’t have any money to take her out,so this will be such a great opurtunity If I can win this and make it spesial for her!
Thank you so much!!!
with our first born allmost here just around the corner this will be our ideal valentines date night out for free for us will appreciate it so much.

with our first born allmost here just around the corner this will be our ideal valentines date night out for free for us
Al die gejaag, gemounery, hooters en finger signals van ons allerdaagse lewens. Dis net werk eet slaap werk eet. Da isnie tyd om n ordentelikkebord kos voor tebery nie, want nes jy besig is lui jou foon of deur klokkie. Ek sal daarvan hou om als agter te laat en n lekker rustigge ete sonder bogenoemde by Guvon Hotels en spas te geniet. Almal verdien n blaaskans
As ouma en oupa van twee besige kleinkinders sal ek ‘n rustige aandjie saam met my man Theuns geniet. Ons kyk elke middag na die twee. 5 jaar en 11 maande oud. Baie lief vir hulle maar ek dink dit is tyd vir ‘n breuk! Hoe anders om dit te kan geniet by een van Guvon Hotelle en Spa’s se plekke. Dink net ouma en oupa kan ook romanties wees as hulle net die tyd daarvoor het. Dit sal ook April ons 42ste huweliks herdenking wees.
In this late stage of life, my fiance and I found each other. We work very hard every day and do not have the means to enjoy a dinner for ourselves.
“what do you think”? If i won then it will be the 1ste time sins 2001 when we got married we will have.a nice night out.
It’s our fist valentines together and we are getting married in a month
I married I wonderful wife and she is so beautiuful. I would really like to spoil her. Times have been though.
My name is Angelique Hester Erasmus. I’m an unemployed single mother of 2. Have never won anything in my life. Can’t afford special dinners & would really love to surprise someone I love very much with the tickets & so I can have the opportunity too tell him how I feel. He is a very shy special person but know the feeling is mutual even if he doesn’t say it. He has his own special way of showing it. My contact no is 076 207 0052…
This will be the ideal place to have a any kind of dinner not just valentines.
Ons probeer om elke dag vir mekaar iets spesiaals te doen nie net op Valentyns dag nie,maar elke dag.Ons sukkel soos elke liewe mens Finansiel en kan nie etes bekostig nie,ons probeer elke dag om mekaar spesial te laat voel al is dit met n briefie/kaartjie of mooi boodskap,ek dink elke mens verdien n blaas kaans ons almal het elke dag vreeslik baie stres en emosies waar mee ons elke dag moet deal,as ek die Ete wen is dit die ideale idee om n gelukkige tydjie aleen saam my geliefde te deel maar as ek dit nie wen nie sal ek nie opgee nie ek sal nogsteeds probeer die beste daar uit maak!
My husband and I have four kids and as we all know kids need the parents full attention all the time, my youngest turns 18 on Saturday and my hubby and I need to now find time for each other again and I think winning this will be a great way to start again.
I lost my husband to pancreatic cancer in 2010 and then found love again with a wonderful man who is very special in so many ways. He was retrenched in 2011 and only just started a new job this month. Times have been extremely tough with 2 kids to provide for and we haven’t been able to have any time alone or spend any money on ourselves as we have always believed in putting the kids first. We would very much apreciate a lovely romantic evening out to celebrate his new job and looking forward to a positive future. My contact number is 084 505 9703
On the 8th February 2014 I married my soulmate. We have been together for 6 wonderful years and have 2 beautiful children together, there have been ups and downs but we have gotten through it by supporting each other and always being there for each other. I think we deserve this dinner because in the 6 years we have been together 5 of that we have never had a date night. We have cared for and loved our children every day for the past 5 years and financially things have been tight as I am a stay home mom. We also did not go on honeymoon as we could not afford to . So it would be a great surprise for my husband if we could win this dinner! My contact no. 0827390019
I am married for 19 years and have been threw a lot and recently been going threw a rough patch and have just started turning around and I believe that this can be a perfect boost to our relationship as I can not walk away after 19 years of marriage .I have to give it my best shot and this will be the ideal opportunity to do so .
I and my husband have never been out or celebrate the 14th as we never had the monies to do so. Facebook name: jolien pretorius. Cell 073 929 3117. Email joe_my_ou@yahoo.com
I just think this would be nice for spending my 8th valentines day with my hubby.
My reason is because through all we’ve been together and all the struggles she’s always been my everything and I always want to give her everything I can even if its tuff-times at the moment
My boyfriend and i have been dating for 7 years and been best friends for 12 years, i love him to death and want to take things to the next level and marry him but being a girl i have always wanted the guy to ask me but this year i have put my foot down and decided to propose to him, winning this would help me get that confidence to ask him to be my husband. 0610917524
Why should this dinner go two my parents! First of all they are together for over 30 years. The children are helping them. As my mom carried me for 9months taking care of me for 18years now is ower time for them. Hulle sal uit hulle noppies wees om vir so ete te gaan. Na alles wat hulle deur is van die begin van 2014. Second of all is the following we shouild consider Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day is a time when people show feelings of love, affection and friendship. It is celebrated in many ways worldwide and falls on February 14 each year.
Many people see Valentine’s Day as a special day to express one’s love for another.and I think this 2 should show they love again something they don’t gey every day. Thanx for giving as the changes to win this hope to hear from you shortly! :-)
Me and my fiance have 2 beautiful daughters, ages 4 and 5months. The youngest was born 2months premature and subsequently kept in Neonatal ICU for almost 3weeks. The reason for her premature birth was because of the mother’s high-blood pressure, which brought about seizures and rushed to hospital for emergency ceaser. The ordeal was a real eye-opener seeing that I could have lost them both. I seldom show her how much she means to me and kids seeing that everyday commitments keep us both busy. This will be the perfect opportunity to take some time out and devote the whole evening to her and remind her of the important role she plays as both a mother and fiance. She truly deserves to be spoilt a bit. Her self-esteem is low and energy levels dwindling and I truly believe this will remind both of us the importance of takin time out for just us and revive the love that seems to have turned into a duty…

I would love to go for a Valentine’s dinner for two, I have never gone on a dinner like this
We have never been on a Valentines date and we have been married for 11 years. It will be so nice to go out on a real date for Valentines day.
