THE school summer holidays can be a stressful time for parents.
But if you are already feeling the strain, don't worry. We've teamed up with diet Coke to give readers the chance to win the ultimate diet Coke break.
If a little bit of relaxation and pampering is what you're looking for, then our prize could be exactly what you need - it's the ideal pick-me-up.
We all know that the stresses of every day life can leave little time to give yourself the treats you really deserve.
With all the washing, ironing and dusting that needs done around the house, there's rarely time to enjoy a relaxing and refreshing diet Coke break.
That's why, as part of our prize package, we have an unusual treat in store for one lucky Max reader.
We'll send in a fully- qualified cleaning team to blitz your home. Then, while they're busy taking the work off your hands, you and a friend will spend the day at the exclusive Stobo Castle health club in Peebleshire.
Our winner and a friend of their choice will be collected courtesy of diet Coke and whisked off to Stobo Castle.
Once there, you will experience a full pampering session with pedicure, massage and facial before being taken home.
Not only this, but we will then arrange for an RS Image Consultant to visit you in your home to give you a colour consultation.
This will help you find out which colours suit you best for summer and winter wardrobes as well as make-up.
To make this complete break so enjoyable, we'll also give the winner 24 x 330ml cans of diet Coke to keep you refreshed this summer.
As this ultimate diet Coke break is so exclusive, we're asking readers to nominate someone to win.
Simply tell us, in no more than 50 words, why they deserve to win. You can also nominate yourself, by telling us in no more than 50 words why you deserve the prize.
