This week’s competition is 100% perfect for anyone who’s in or around Leeds, and needs a little pampering.
Regular readers will know that I’ve tried a few different group buying websites with varying results. The idea behind them is that if enough of you get together and express an interest you can command a hefty discount by sheer weight of numbers. I think they tend to work best for treats such as meals out, spa and beauty treatments, comedy nights, exercise classes and so on.
Anyway, I am very fussy about which sites I’m happy to endorse. One of the nicer ones is Kahootz Leeds, a relatively new service that gives you a range of offers each week with up to 70% discount if you sign up to their mailing list. They regularly have a good choice of offers at local restaurants, spas and hairdressing salons, and they’ll soon be expanding to cover the Manchester area too. Regular site users can also gain site credit for referring their favourite deals on to friends, which they can then redeem against future purchases.
If you live within easy reach of Leeds, we have an excellent competition for you this week. All you have to do is click on the link below and sign up to receive the Kahootz newsletter, it’s as easy as that. This time next week, Kahootz will pick out three lucky people who signed up via this website, and they will each win a voucher for £25 to spend on pampering treats at Charles Lewis Beauty in Leeds.
You can spend your prize voucher on one or a combination of the following:
1. Hairdressing: haircut/colour, blow dry, hair up, half head of foils
2. Express facial
3. Spray tan
4. Back, neck and shoulder massage
5. Manicure/pedicure
If you’d like to be in with a chance to win these sweet pampering treats, just head over to the Kahootz site and sign up to their newsletter using the following link: Penny Golightly and Kahootz Leeds Pampering Competition.
If you aren’t one of the lucky winners announced next week, you will then have the option to purchase one of these rather lovely £25 pampering vouchers for the discounted price of £11, if you wish.
T&Cs: Three winners will be drawn by Kahootz Leeds this time next week. You must use the Penny Golightly link to sign up, or your entry will not be counted. UK entrants only please. Multiple entries will be disallowed. Penny Golightly and www.pennygolightly.com are not affiliated to Kahootz Leeds, and your competition entries will not profit this site financially. No purchase required, no cash alternative. Your details will not be passed on to a third party without your permission.

Today marks the first tea competition of the year, and we have been absolutely spoiled rotten by the gorgeous people who run the beautiful ATTIC Tea shop.

ATTIC Tea know pretty much everything there is to know about good quality China teas, and if you live near Bristol then I highly recommend that you get yourself down to their tea rooms pronto.
Everyone else can have a browse around their online emporium and be wowed by its loveliness. They’re also worth following on Twitter (@ATTIC_Tea) for announcements about new products and discount codes.

So, on to our competition, and what a fantastic prize we have on offer. One lucky winner will get six packets of top quality tea, one of each type from the ATTIC Collection. This includes:
- Silver Needle white tea
- Dragonwell green tea
- Flowering scented teaballs
- Iron Goddess of Mercy oolong tea
- Tippy Yunnan black tea
- Tuo Cha pu-erh tea
To be in with a chance of winning this competition, all you have to do is answer the following question correctly and leave it in the comments box below. Closing date Wednesday 14th July at noon.
ATTIC Tea have created some very cute and innovative tea pouches so that you can take your favourite loose leaf tea with you wherever you go. What net weight of tea does their Dragonwell pouch contain?
Good luck everyone!
T&Cs: Competition only open to UK residents, sorry. Winner will be randomly chosen from correct entries on 14th July 2010. Please only enter this competition once, multiple entries will be disallowed. Your email address will never be used by this site or passed on to any third party – only the winner’s details will be used in order to send them their beautiful prize.
