    This is the perfect opportunity to have a romantic night with my love Timothy Bouch. After a tough couple of months training hard for the Dusi canoe marathon, an evening of relaxation and Love Actually situated in Durban’s beautiful Botanic Gardens sound incredible and very well deserved.

    I would definately take my man Magz and our 1 year old daughter. And make it a family day out. I deserve to win these tickets because we really need this time out as he works away from home and is only back Fridays and gone again come Monday. This movie/picnic is much needed for all 3 of us.

    My husband really deserves this treat. I can’t think of any better way for us to celebrate Valentine’s Day and for me to show my appreciation to him for being the dearest and most caring husband in the world!

    All you need is Love, love, love… love is all you need.
    My fiance and I were actually big fans of the drive-inn, we deserve these tickets, so it can be a nostalgic evening under the stars.
