Three best friends from Kinning Park in Glasgow are
having an ultimate girls weekend worth £3,000 after winning a competition with women's car insurance specialist,
Diamond.
Karen Rattray, a Clerical Officer for Glasgow City Council, is treating her two best friends,
Janice Peline and Nicola McAreavey to a luxurious weekend in Newcastle, staying at the magnificent Hotel Du Vin and having a day
of sumptuous spa treatments in the Malmaison Petit Spa. The ladies will also be making the most of over £1,500 in spending
money by hitting the best of the city's shops, restaurants and bars.
Karen said,"I am so excited!
The weekend Diamond have planned for us is fabulous. I've never been to Newcastle before, and although I'm a regular at the
hairdressers and beauty salon, I've never been to a spa before so I can't wait to be spoilt rotten!
"Spending time with my friends is really important to me. Every weekend we always go for dinner and clubbing and it's
wonderful that this weekend I'm able to treat my friends to an extra special weekend away. I can't wait to hit the shops as
well!"
Diamond is putting together an ultimate guide for women on the best shops, spas, restaurants,
hairdressers and bars and asked women around the UK for their recommendations of where they like to go with their best friends.
Karen won the competition by recommending Cruise in Glasgow for its variety of designer labels for both men and women. Karen's
recommendation was drawn at random from all the recommendations received.
Diamond is still looking for
recommendations. You can tell us about the best places you like to go with your friends by visiting the Diamond Best Friends
