The Ana Mum Diary in association with Everest Home Improvements, are very excited to give our readers the chance to win £150 worth (I know, perfect to treat yourself this summer) of John Lewis vouchers – and all you need to do is answer one simple question.
We want you to tell us what home improvements you would make if you had £10,000 to spend.
Would you get new double glazed windows? Give your kitchen a makeover? Get yourself a cinema-sized home entertainment system? Just let us know and you will be entered into the giveaway for a chance to win the £150 John Lewis voucher prize.
I know what we would do, and it would be to put it towards an extension, with gorgeous big bi-fold doors going straight into the garden.
