Big thank you to Lolamia for posting the comp and also to the other members who made sure it was listed in the advents and that the end date was kept updated :T

Just found an email in my junk folder! Turns out I won the Dorchester Collection advent at about 9pm on Christmas Day! This was an instant win, but I had no idea I'd won - I'm 99% sure I got the usual "Sorry....." pop up that I'd been getting all month.
Question for anyone else who has won - what happened when you did? Was it a vastly different pop up you got or could I have easily missed it if I wasn't paying enough attention?
Not sure what else the £100 voucher can be used on, but I'll probably take my mum for afternoon tea for her birthday. She'll be so surprised! I think Afternoon tea costing £20 is expensive, so an Afternoon tea costing £100 is certainly special! Will be great to spend time in such an iconic building too!
Haha sorry I sound a bit overexcited, I don't win very often and it's usually small stuff! :-)
Moral of the story - if you've not checked your junk folder in a while (I'm sure you all do, but in the chaos of advents/Christmas....), do it now, you never know!!

I won earlier on, and there was a different pop-up saying " congratulations! You've won a Dorchester Collection Gift voucher, santa will send it to the email address you've provided"
I then had an email asking which hotel I wanted to use it at. I picked the Coworth Park near Ascot, and I can use it in the restaurant or brasserie towards lunch if I like which I think will be better value than afternoon tea.0 -
Yey well done you!!! Hope you and your mum enjoy a very luxury afternoon tea :TThanks to everyone's hard work in posting comps, and good luck to all :T An iPad A years supply of fudge A book Balance Festival tickets A set of recycled plant pots A £500 nights stay in Chelsea Thanks to everyone0
