Bought an afternoon tea through Groupon using a cashback site. It will be a nice romantic treat as it's where we got married. Anyhow when I went through to Groupon they had a code for money off food and drink so saved £3 on the already reduced price :-) saw the afternoon te advertised today for £15 more than I paid. £3 going on to my Womble total.Competition wins £14,136.30[\COLOR]0
