By all accounts, Vietnam is a fabulous country to visit!  I have friends who have been and all of them absolutely RAVED about it.

I'm sure it's not on many people's top 10 destinations list, but if you fancy trying somewhere 'different' then a holiday to Vietnam could be for you.

Just fill in your details before 11.59pm on 31 December 2011for your chance to win.

It wasn't that long ago that HD TVs were THE thing to have; now, if you want to be ahead of the Jones', nothing less than a 3D TV will do!

If you want one without having to buy one, then enter this competition to win this 40" Samsung 3D TV.

The answer to the question is 'smokey' and closing date for entries is 3 December.

My youngest son has had an iPod Touch since he was four - it raised a few eyebrows at the time, but he LOVED it then and he loves it now.  Not only has it provided lots of fun, it's also proved to be a very useful learning tool.

There's an iPod Touch And A Moshi Monsters Box Set up for grabs here, if you fancy adding this 'i' gadget to your household.

The answer is 'the detective' and you need to enter before 18 December.

You can't beat winning some cash; 4,600 of our Great British Pounds are looking for a new home at the end of this competition - well someone has to win it, and if you don't enter then it definitely won't be you.

The answer is 'C' (Nothern Ireland) and closing date for entries is 23 November at 5pm. 

GOOD LUCK!

Okay, I think even the most dedicated follower of Disney Princess bits and pieces would struggle to be left wanting if their mum or dad won this competition for them.

£1000 of Disney Princess paraphernalia is up for grabs and all you have to do to enter is hand over a few details before 28 November.

Huggies and Asda are offering one lucky family the change to win a nursery makeover worth £1000.

You just need to be a member of the Huggies club and answer the question before the competition closes.

The answer is 'the Macarena' and closing date for entries is 30 November.

My youngest has had an iPod Touch for a while now, but he would still go mad for this iPod Touch with My First JCB apps preloaded and other various JCB goodies worth over £50; he was, and still is, totally JCB and digger mad!

The answer is 'Use price comparison sites' and the deadline for entries is 6 December.

Now THIS would be a fantastic prize to win: A trip for 4 to New York, including flights, four nights in a hotel, plus four tickets to see The Lion King on Broadway, including VIP backstage passes.

All of  my children have been to see the Lion King, in the West End, and they AB-SO-LUTELY LOVED. IT! The teenagers still rave about it now, and they went to see quite a few years ago!

To fly off to New York for four days to go and see it would make the whole experience just that little bit SUPER special.

Just enter your details before 19 December for your chance to win.

GOOD LUCK!

If you fancy getting away from it for just a little bit then how do you fancy a three-night trip to Rome for two people including flights, accommodation and £200 spending money?

Well, that's what's up for grabs at the end of this competition; a rather nice little get-away courtesy of someone else's bank balance, you can't go wrong with that.

Just enter your details before 23 November to be in with a chance of winning.

I don't know about you, but the harder I try to keep my grocery shopping bill low the more it seems to be each week!  So I'm going to enter this competition to win £250 towards it, every little helps and all that.

The answer is A) Michelle Collins and the competition closes at 6.30am on Thursday 10 November.

If you're making the move from cot to bed, then you might want to think about entering this competition to win a Saplings junior bed worth £145.  I really like the look of it - it's simple, stylish and elegant AND comes with a foam mattress too.

Closing date for entries is this coming Wednesday (9 November).

If Christmas is your thing then you might actually be more excited about winning Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park tickets than a Samsung Galaxy S II. Both are being given away to the lucky winner of this competition.

Apparently Winter Wonderland promises all the 'excitement of the festive season with an array of magical and dazzling activities including the magnificent Samsung Galaxy Ice Rink'.

The answer is Hyde Park and you need to get your entries in before Monday 14 November.

GOOD LUCK!

Closing date for entries is 30 November and all you have to do is hand over your details.

Travel systems are hellishly expensive; I'm telling you, it won't be long before the first £1000 travel system hits the high street and I'm not talking celeb' ones, just the bog standard ones for Joe Public.

The answer is 'Christmas tree decorations' and the closing date for entries is 30 November.

GOOD LUCK!

When I say win Winter Wardrobes for your kids, I mean the actual clothes not wardrobes to put them in...you got that, right?

So the first winter wardrobe is £500 of clothes from Half-Pint Chic.  Kids such a nasty habit of growing, and you can guarantee they'll put a spurt on just before the next season rolls around so that last year's winter things don't quite fit this year.

The answer is 'Weekly childrenswear sales' and closing date for entries is 23 November.

So the kids have got a new winter wardrobe; what about you?  Would you like £500 worth of clothes, from Monica and Joe, to spruce up your wardrobe for the coming chilly season?  I thought you might.

The answer is 'wired' and you need to get your entries in before 31 October.

I've written about the LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon before; it looks fab' but is also a bit on the expensive side for a young LEGO fan who will probably grow out of their love of LEGO when they get a bit too 'grown-up' for it (they'll find out that you can never be too grown-up for LEGO, it might take them a few years to get there though).

Anyway, if you fancy having a bash at winning a LEGO Millennium Falcon instead of buying one, enter this competition; there are three up for grabs (you can only have one though).

The answer is 'Lando Calrissian ' and the competition closes on 2 December.

Going to see the Northern Lights has been on my wish list of things to do for YEARS! A friend of mine lives in Norway and one of my cousins lives in Finland, they've both seen the Northern Lights and say they are just amazing and magical.

If you'd like to go and see the 'tricky lady' (that the nickname for the lights because you can't guarantee when they'll put in an appearance) then enter this competition.

The answer is 'Arctic Spirit' and you must enter before 23 November.

GOOD LUCK!

I love flowers; I used to go to school with a girl whose mum taught flower arranging - I tell you, that woman was a true artist!

If you like having flowers in vases dotted around your home then you might like the chance to win some stunning flower arrangements for Christmas, worth £700.

You just need to register before 30 November for your chance to win.

I've had a tiny 8ft long by 5ft wide galley kitchen; I've had a large modern kitchen; I can visualise my ultimate kitchen clear as day - it's huge, it's awesome, there's space for a table, it has tons of worktop space, more storage than you can shake a stick at and it would be the room that everyone spent the most time in.

What's your ultimate kitchen like? The ultimate kitchen up for grabs here includes all of the following:

Unfortunately (for me at least) the couple from Cambridge won the £101M Euro Lottery jackpot instead of me, but I wouldn't say no if someone wanted to give me £1000 to 'keep me going' until my numbers DO come up.

That's what's up for grabs with this competiton - a cool £1000 in cash, to do with what you will.

The answer is Iggy Pop and the closing date for entries is 15 November.

I went through a phase of playing Zelda a LOT when I first got my Nintendo Wii - it's a great game.

If you're still in a Nintendo Wii free household and would like to rectify that without resorting to buying one, then enter this competition to win a Nintendo Wii along with a copy of Zelda.

Closing date for entries is midnight on Tuesday 27 October and the answer is 1986.

I've been watching the Rugby World Cup in HD and would hate to have to go back to watching things in normal definition now.

If you'd like to become a member of the HD revolution then keep your fingers crossed that you're the lucky winner of this HD TV and DVD player prize - of course, you have to enter to be in with a chance!

The answer is Manhattan and the closing date is 5 November.

Y'know, whoever decided that women should be hair-free has a lot to answer for!  It's such a faff and when I can afford to have it all lasered away, I WILL!  In the meantime, this little hair removing gadget called the no!no! 8800 (catchy!) could make life a little easier.

It's worth almost £200 and claims to painlessly remove hair and slow down the rate of hair regrowth; it's worth a bash!

The answer is eight weeks and you need to get your entry in before Tuesday 27 October.

GOOD LUCK!

*please note the bathroom image is NOT the bathroom you'll win

What's your bathroom like?

Is it a haven of loveliness, peace and tranquility?  Or is it a dark hell-hole that smells damp and probably has something scary lurking in a corner somewhere?

If you want to be the peace and tranquility category then enter this competition to win a new bathroom worth three pence shy of £1000.

The answer is 1999 and the closing date for entries is 10 November at 4pm.

Now, once you have your new bathroom you're going to be spending a lot of time in there and you'll want to be using products that are kind to your skin, kind to the environment and haven't been horrible to animals.

It seems that the new way to enter competitions is to like the relevant Facebook page (Mark Whatsisface must be rubbing his hands with glee) and this competition to win various holidays of lifetimes, with Innocent Smoothies, is no exception.

Just go and like their Facebook page - HERE - and you could be jetting of to the countries where the fruit for their smoothies comes from.

Last Thursday I drove 350 miles and I put just over £110 of petrol in my car in less than 18 hours.

Before the weekend was over, I'd driven another 200 miles and had thrown another £60 at the petrol tank.

I'm DEFINITELY entering this competition to win three years worth of free fuel!

It's been a strange year, weather wise, so far.  I was wearing shorts and t-shirt for the first two days of this week, by Friday I'd put the heating back on and fished out my warm snow boots and gloves.

If the weather forecasters are to be believed you won't need to travel abroad for snow by the end of the month, because it's heading our way.

However, I'm sure you wouldn't turn your nose up at an all-expenses paid skiing trip to France if you were the lucky winner.

You'll stay for a week, on a chalet-board basis, at one of VIP SKI’s CLUB chalets in the French resorts of Val d’Isère, Alpe d’Huez or Morzine.

The answers are: Logierait and Ell and  you need to get your entries in before 13 october.

It's nice to win 'things' as prizes but sometimes straight-forward, simple, cold hard cash is just as appealing.

£500 cash is up for grabs in this competition.

The answer is 'how are you?' and you the closing date for entries is 29 October.

In Friday's competition £1000 worth of toys was being given away by the Early Learning Centre; Firebox have trumped that and are offering you the chance to win £3000 of kids 'stuff'; crazy!

The answer is 'penguins' and you need to enter before 31 October.

A couple of years ago I ticked 'Go to New York' off my Bucket List - I do have another New York thing on my list though, and that's to go to the Big Apple at Christmas time.

I want to see the enormous Christmas tree and go skating at the Rockerfeller Centre; I want to wear long warm coats, gloves and walk hand-in-hand around Central Park with my husband.

If you've never been to New York then you really must - it's a fabulous place, I love it!

This holiday is worth £5000; the answer is 'The Chrysler Building' (I could see that from my hotel room window) and you need to enter before....I have no clue when the closing date for entries is, I can't find it anywhere so just enter now and be done with it.

GOOD LUCK!

If you're not involved with the real nappy revolution then you might want to enter this competition to win a year's supply of Huggies nappies; they're giving this prize away to celebrate their 50th anniversary and, if you win, you'll be celebrating not spending a fortune on nappies for a year.

Just fill in your details before 14 October to be in with a chance of winning.

The Early Learning Centre are giving away £1000 of toys to the lucky winner of this competition!

One. THOUSAND. Pounds worth of toys; that's insane and, to be honest, I think I'd give away the £1000 to the childrens' ward at my local hospital if I won.

If you can't make up your mind between a tablet and a PC, ponder no further!  The Dell Inspiron Duo Touch Screen Tablet PC is supposed to be the best of both worlds and you can win one if you enter this competition.

There are three being given away and all you need to do is enter your details before 18 December to be in with a chance of winning.

I have a friend who lives in Dubai and she ABSOLUTELY loves the place; it's one of the places I intend to visit in the not too distant future.

If you'd like to experience Dubai then enter this competition and you could be jetting off there as the lucky winner.  A word to the wise though, make sure you brush up on what is and is NOT acceptable there otherwise your dream trip could turn into a nightmare.

My husband has a bit of a thing about watches; he LOVES them, although, I have to say this Issey Miyake watch really isn't his cup of tea.  Now show him a shiny Breitling and you'll have his attention!

If you'd like to win this Issey Miyake watchm, either for yourself or to win some brownie points from the person you give it to, then enter this competition before 9 October.

You just need to fill in the form online; there isn't a question to answer.

It's been 30C where I live today and it seems almost impossible to believe that in a couple of weeks time I'll need to dig out my Hunter wellies, from the cupboard under the stairs, to wear when I take the dogs out because the weather will be cold and wet!

I've not worn wellies other than Hunters for over 16 years now, and I'll never wear a cheap pair of bog standard ones ever again; if you've always hankered after a pair of Hunters but never wanted to spend over £40 on a pair of wellies then this competition to win a pair is for you!

Simply fill in your details before 31 October for your chance to win.

If you're in the market for a travel system then you'll be forgiven for crying in the corner every time you flip over a price tag and see how expensive they are!

Enter this competition and you could be the lucky winner of a Joolz Day Travel System that's worth over £1000.

Just read the blurb, select which is your favourite Joolz feature and submit your entry before 17 October.

I'm not a huge fan of wearing lots of jewellery - I think it looks naff - but give me one or two stunning diamonds and I'm a very happy girl.

However, sometimes the real thing is just a little bit out of the budget and when a little bit of sparkle is required you're just going to have to FAKE IT!

Enter this competition to win a necklace and earring set that look almost good enough to be the real thing; they're worth over £150, so not shabby at all - they're not like a cubic zirconia pair from Clare's Accessories *grin*

The answer is 'A Victorian cameo' and the closing date for entries is 30 October.

GOOD LUCK!

(Check the old car liveries in the picture I've chosen; Benetton Racing and Marlboro advertising on Ferrari , those were the days!)

It doesn't really matter if you're a HUGE F1 fan or not to enter this competition - the opportunity to be flown off to Brazil for five nights at someone else's expense is just awesome.

If you're not into the racing don't go, there's a TON of other things to do and see in Sao Paulo and hot sandy beaches to relax on.

If you love the thrills and spills of F1 then have a FABULOUS time - even if this season has been deathly dull with Seb' Vettel winning almost every race in sight, and sewing up the championship already.

Here's the official bits you need to know:

I've been attached to my computer since 6am this morning - trust me, I haven't been doing anything earth shattering - and spotting this White Stuff competition had me the most animated I've been all day; I LOVE stuff from White Stuff.

If you win, you'll get a White Stuff goodie bag containing a £50 voucher and various accessories also worth £50.

No questions to answer, simply fill in your details before 16 October.

I knew I'd REALLY been at the computer for too long when I came across this next competition...
