Free Competitions: 16GB iPad, £100 To Spend In River Island, A Pair Of Jimmy Choos

by Sarah Macdonald in Comps on 21 May, 2013 at 5:00 pm

Free Competitions: 16GB iPad, £100 To Spend In River Island, A Pair Of Jimmy ChoosIf you've been reading the competitions for a while then you'll know that I'm not fussed about iPads, mini or otherwise, so you're on your own when it comes to entering competitions for them.

Up for grabs this time is a 16GB iPad with wifi (I thought they all came with wifi, shows how much I know!) and you just need to like the Globehunters Facebook page, answer the following three questions, and enter your details before 31 July to be in with a chance of winning it.

Q1: Name 2 of the 3 Featured Destinations on the Globehunters Flight Page

Answer: New York and Bangkok

Q2: Name 2 city Break Hotels featured on the Globehunters website
Globehunters City Breaks Page

Answer: Arabian Courtyard and Circus Circus

Q3: All Globehunters flights and holidays are fully protected by which organisation

Answer: ATOL

River Island's been around for ages! I remember when they first opened (that gives away my age somewhat!) and I loved shopping for clothes in there. I still like the occasional rummage around their racks and rails, and I could easily spend £100 in there.

If you fancy the idea of having £100 to spend in River Island too, then enter this competition.

The answer to the question is: 87 and you need to submit your entry before 7 June.

So YOU can have the iPad and I'll have these Jimmy Choos, okay?!

They're worth £360 and I WANT them! I will never have too many pairs of shoes, it's just not possible, and I'd rather win a pair of JCs than pay for them - I'm sure you would too.

The answer to the question is: Shoes (what else?!) and entries have to be in before 14 August 2013.

GOOD LUCK!

Free Competitions: Trip To Japan And The MotoGP, Tickets To Glasto

by Sarah Macdonald in Comps on 19 May, 2013 at 5:00 pm

Free Competitions: Trip To Japan And The MotoGP, Tickets To GlastoMy step-daughter has discovered Glastonbury, she's also discovered the price of tickets and that she can't afford one - let alone all the other costs that would be incurred for her to get there.

The only way for her to go would be to win tickets to go. Personally, I can't think of anything I'd like to do less; actually, that's a lie - there are plenty of things I'd like to do less, let's just say 'going to Glasto' isn't one of the things on my bucket list.

If it's on yours then enter this competition to win one of 25 pairs Glastonbury tickets that are going begging - you just need to hand over your details before 25 May to be in with a chance.

Fancy a trip to Japan? A friend of mine has recently returned to the UK after living in Japan for five or so years - he says it's an amazing place, if not a little weird and quirky in places.

And if you're a MotoGP fan too, then this competition will really appeal to you, because there is hotel to race track transfer and return travel. VIP hospitality at the MotoGP race circuit, including food and drinks for qualifying and race day.

Escorted access to the Pit garage, paddock and hospitality and return transfers are also included, as well as optional day excursions to Mount Fuji and Yamaha Motor Museum - properly AWESOME! 

Just register, log in, and enter your details before 1 November.

GOOD LUCK!

Free Competitions: Win £3,200 Cash

by Sarah Macdonald in Comps on 14 May, 2013 at 5:00 pm

Free Competitions: Win £3,200 CashOooooh, I do love a good cash competition. In fact, I don't mind a bad cash competition, just as long as they hand over the MONEY!

There's £3,200 up for grabs with this one - not a sum to be sniffed at, I'm sure you'll agree - and all you have to do to be in with a chance of stashing it is hand over the answer to the question, which I'm going to give you.  The answer, I mean, not the question!

The answer is: A (Japan) and the closing date for online entries is 20th May 2013 at 5pm.

After a fairly horrible time recently, I received some really good news today - it's news good enough to warrant going out in a while and buying a bottle of wine to celebrate. Not a big deal to most people, I know, but I'm in training for a fitness competition so anything 'wine' or 'treat like' has been off the agenda for a very long time.  It also means I'm a very cheap date these days, a small bottle of wine the size of the ones you get on long haul flights are enough to make me feel warm and fuzzy!

Anyway - I'm telling you this because there are six bottles of French wine, worth £50, going begging with this competition.

The answer to the question is: Devils and you need to submit that, along with your details, before 13 June.

Ahhh, a good old iPad competition - they're still as popular as ever, although I reckon Samsung will eventually kill off all things 'i' - except maybe the iPod, but perhaps even that!

But for now, if you're an Apple lover and you want a pad, this is just for you.

There are a few questions to answer, but the good news is they are survey questions so you'll know all the answers.

You need to complete the survey and hand over your details before 20 May.

GOOD LUCK!

Free Competitions: Win A Fortnum And Mason Hamper, Kindle Paper White Or And iPad

by Sarah Macdonald in Comps on 30 April, 2013 at 5:00 pm

Free Competitions: Win A Fortnum And Mason Hamper, Kindle Paper White Or And iPadIt's time for the first competition round up of the week again - can you believe it's the 1st of May already tomorrow? Seriously, before we know it, it'll be the summer holidays, then the start of a new school year, then it'll be Christmas again!!

But before then, let's see if you can't be the lucky winner of one of these featured competitions!

Do you fancy a Fortnum and Mason hamper? I don't, but I do have a friend who would go absolutely mad for one, so perhaps I'll try and win it for her.

I can't find any information about what the hamper contains, but it's Fortnum and Mason 'darrrrrling!', so who cares what it has in it!  And if you don't know why Fortnum and Mason is such a big deal, then might I suggest you move on to the next competition.

All you have to do to enter is hand over your details before 31 August.

My husband keeps flirting with the idea of getting a tablet, then he changes his mind and leans more towards something like this Kindle Paper White - we've been playing this game for the last 18 months or so, which is why I haven't bought him either.

I'm going to enter this competition and see if I can win a Kindle Paper White - wow, how nice am I, entering competitions to win prizes for other people. Selfless, that's me!

The answer to the question is: Amazon and you need to enter before 24 May.

If you don't want a book reader, then here's an iPad for you to try and get your mitts on.

You don't have to answer any silly questions, write an essay, or do a funny dance - you just have to like the What CAR? Facebook page, and share if you feel like it.

Just make sure you get that done before 5pm on 20 May.

GOOD LUCK!

Free Competitions: Win A PS3, A Kindle HD Or £7 000 In Cash

by Sarah Macdonald in Comps on 23 April, 2013 at 5:00 pm

Free Competitions: Win A PS3, A Kindle HD Or £7 000 In CashWell, here we go - another week, another round of competitions!

I'm not a Kindle fan - I won one a few years ago and gave it to Tamsin, so it could be loved! If you, however, are a Kindle fan and have been hankering after a new one, then enter this competition to win a Kindle HD.

You just have to sign up and enter your details before 12 May and you'll be in with a chance of winning.

I remember when I bought my very first Playstation - it only came with one game and that was Gran Tourismo 2.  I feel rather old thinking back to those days; mind you, not as old as when I think back to the first Nintendo and Super Mario!

If you fancy adding a PS3 to your games console collection then this competition is for you - a PS3 and a copy of Wonderbook: Book of Spells is up for grabs. All in, it's worth around £250.

Again, there's no daft question to answer, just hand over your details before 29 April to be in with a chance.

Personally, I could really care less about winning Kindles, PS3s, or holidays where I have to go between certain dates that might not be convenient for me. Just give me CASH!

So this competition to win £7 000 is MY kind of comp' - feel free not to enter, I don't want to dilute my chances!

But if you really HAVE to, then the answer to the question is: A (a gaggle - of geese, I'm guessing!) and the closing date for online entries is 2 May at 10am.

GOOD LUCK!

Free Competitions: £150 Boden Vouchers, £5 000 CASH, Mountain Buggy Cosmopolitan Set Worth £517

by Sarah Macdonald in Comps on 19 April, 2013 at 5:00 pm

Free Competitions: £150 Boden Vouchers, £5 000 CASH, Mountain Buggy Cosmopolitan Set Worth £517I'm in SUCH a bad mood - which isn't good, seeing as it's a Friday - but HURRAH, it's the weekend!

One of you lucky PlayPennies competition players has the chance to win £150 of Boden vouchers and two runners up will receive £50 vouchers each.  I have to confess to not liking Boden stuff very much and their models aren't all that either (see, BAD. MOOD!).

But if you like Boden gear then enter this competition and you could win £150 of vouchers to spend there, or £50 if you're one of the runners up.

You don't have to answer any silly questions, just hand over your details before 11.59pm on 16 May.

I could very easily spend my way through lots of money when I'm in a bad mood - £5 000 wouldn't last very long at all. In fact, £5 000 wouldn't last very long when I'm in a good mood either!

The answer to the question is C (France) and the closing date for online entries is 25th April 2013 at 5pm.

If you're in the market for a new travel system then you might want to enter this competition to win a Mountain Buggy Cosmopolitan worth £499, and its cover, which is worth £18.

Here's the official blurb:

The essence of urban lifestyle exuding charm and sophistication, cosmopolitan delivers elegant aesthetics, fashionable denim exterior and exquisite handling on urban terrain, cosmopolitan offers flexibility and freedom to suit your lifestyle. A life without limit.

What a load of old WAFFLE (that's the polite version of what I'm thinking!) - honestly, have you ever read more cheesy marketing spiel! It's enough to put me off altogether - just give me a Cosmopolitan that contains alcohol!

Anyway, if you aren't put off by it then enter.  There's no question to answer, just fill in your details before 30 April and like a couple of pages on Facebook.

GOOD LUCK!

Free Competitions: Win A Trip To New Zealand, £2 500 Cash

by Sarah Macdonald in Comps on 14 April, 2013 at 5:00 pm

Free Competitions: Win A Trip To New Zealand, £2 500 CashIf you want to know anything about New Zealand, just ask Lynley - she's a Kiwi and would, I'm sure, be more than willing to answer any questions you might have about that little island on the other side of the world.

If you fancy winning yourself a trip there, then enter this competition.  There are a few hoops you need to jump through and some questions you need to answer, so take your time to read through the following:

Clues are obtained from six sites in the form of a word. The six words are entered into the grid and then produce a riddle.

Firstly the words collected so far

  • CLUE 1 - EATS
  • CLUE 2 - BIRD
  • CLUE 3 - IRON
  • CLUE 4 - MEAL
  • CLUE 5 - KING
  • CLUE 6 - will be available from 18th April

When added into the grid you get the following riddle.

  • "This thing all things devours"
  • "Birds,beasts,trees,flowers"
  • "Gnaws iron,bites steel"
  • "Grinds hard stones to meal"
  • "Slays king,ruins town"
  • Not available yet of course but the prediction is that it will be as follows once the last word is added on the 18th.
  • "And beats high mountain down"

Following some online searching, by marba01, the suggested answer to this riddle is "TIME"

If you want to wait for the final word before entering then if you enter all six words on the entry form it will count as two entries into the competition. Otherwise you can submit now - but you MUST get your answers in by 26 April.

If you need some cash then enter this competition and perhaps your bank account will be £2 500 heavier after the closing date for entries.

The answer to the question is:  C (Eyesight) and you need to have submitted your entry by 5pm on 18 April.

GOOD LUCK!

Free Competitions: A Vango Diable 400 Four-Man Tent And Snugpak Sleeping Bags Worth £499WHERE did this week go?!  You see, I was right! Back on Tuesday I said it was nearly the weekend already, and HERE it is - it's officially the weekend everybody. YIPPPEEEE!

Do you have plans? I do - lots of training in the gym on both Saturday and Sunday, along with a take-away curry night in on Saturday evening whilst watching Life of Pi. My husband hasn't seen it; I've seen it twice already and cannot WAIT to see it again.

With the weather supposed to be much warmer than it has been of late, you might want to go out - perhaps spend the weekend camping? If you discover rats have been at your tent, over the winter, then you might want to see if you can win yourself a new one. Up for grabs here is a Vango Diablo 400 four-man tent and four Snugpak sleeping bags worth £499.

There are three ways to enter! Here's how:

  1. Twitter: If you are on Twitter, simply 'follow' @daleswear and 're-tweet' our original tweet about this competition.
  2. Facebook: If you are on Facebook, please 'Like' the Daleswear Outdoors page to keep up to date on all the great stuff happening at Daleswear Outdoors
  3. Email: If you don't use social media, don't worry; you can enter via signing up to our newsletter, simply enter your email address on the homepage sign-up to newsletter section

You need to do one of those three things before the end of May.

Okay, very quickly for a couple more:

If you fancy winning a 32gb iPod touch then you need to enter this competition.  You simply have to like the Mindshapes Facebook page, before 13 April (that's TOMORROW), to be in with a chance of winning.

If you want more 'i' stuff than just an iPod touch, then enter this competition instead. Going begging, is the following:

  • A macbook pro
  • A mini iPad; and
  • An iPhone 5

How does all that sound? If you want them, enter your details before 3 May.

GOOD LUCK!

Free Competitions: Win An Electrolux Hob And Pans Worth £1000, £250 Of Dorothy Perkins Vouchers, An Osprey Handbag Worth £145

by Sarah Macdonald in Comps on 9 April, 2013 at 5:00 pm

Free Competitions: Win An Electrolux Hob And Pans Worth £1000, £250 Of Dorothy Perkins Vouchers, An Osprey Handbag Worth £145Okay, so in my mind it's nearly the weekend - I think it's because the next competition post after this will be on Friday and then it will be the weekend; YIPPEEE!!!  Until then, here are some free competitions for you to try your luck with.

If you're into handbags then you might like the prize that's up for grabs with this competition - an Osprey handbag worth £145. Personally, I think that's a shocking amount of money to spend on a handbag - oh, hang on, you're not going to be spending that money, you're going to win the bag for freeee.

There's no question to answer, just hand over your details before 21 April.

To go with your new handbag, would you like £250 to spend in Dorothy Perkins? I could spend that in a heartbeat - you can keep the bag, I'll have the DP vouchers.

The answer to the question is: people who are influential in the fashion industry and the closing date for entries is 23 April.

An Electrolux hob and a three-piece pan set, worth over £1,000, might not appeal to some of you, but it properly does it for me! A brand new shiny hob for the kitchen, with some shiny, sparkly new pans to use on it.

Just have a look at it in the picture above; LOOK how sexy and sleek it is! Tell me that wouldn't look awesome in your kitchen - heck, it's enough to even make you want to cook at the end of every day.

There's no question to answer, just share your details with the comp organisers before 6 May. 

GOOD LUCK!

PlayPennies Competition: WIN One Of Five Copies of Spin Mania!!

by Tamsin Oxford in Comps on 8 April, 2013 at 6:53 am

PlayPennies Competition: WIN One Of Five Copies of Spin Mania!!

****THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED*****

Kids take on a unique spinning, speeding, time trial challenge!

Spin Mania (rrp £22.99, age 6+) from Drumond Park is a thrilling new action game guaranteed to set hearts pounding with excitement!  The challenge is to ‘spin-up’ three orange helicopter-like rotary plates on the motorised Spinning Machine as fast as they can.

Players carefully lift each one off and carry it, still spinning, on their ‘spin-spike’ to one of three purple plate stands, where they set it down.  Then he or she (both boys and girls love this game) spins-up the next one, and the next one… Sounds easy, huh?  But all three plates must still be spinning on their stands when players finally dart back to the Spinning Machine, stop the clock and mark their time – and the fastest time wins.

Before they start, all players agree the playing area such as a specific room or rooms inside the house, or a defined area outside.  Before each turn, the other players take the plate stands and place them around the agreed playing area.  They must be reasonably easy to see – you can’t actually hide a stand, although it can be a bit difficult to get to – under a table, for instance.

Children can practise and play this brilliant new action game on their own, but of course it’s even more fun to take on one or more opponents. And if you want to make a real party of it, there’s plenty of scope for team challenges, too!

How To Enter:

Standing a chance to win YOUR copy of Spin Mania is EASY! Answer the question below and recommend a friend and you get two entries into the competition!

Question: Visit the Drumond Park website and name two other games that they make.

Leave a comment in the thread below with answer (1 entry)

For bonus entries to the competition:

  • Get a friend to enter (they must mention your name) and you get 1 bonus entry!
  • Tweet a link to this contest and leave your twitter link below (1 bonus entry)

Rules:

  • Contest ends on 19 April 2013
  • Open to UK residents only
  • One type of entry per household
  • Must complete email verification when subscribing
  • Must include a valid email address if commenting
  • Admin’s decision is final in all cases

Free Competitions: Win A Sony Tablet

by Sarah Macdonald in Comps on 7 April, 2013 at 5:00 pm

Free Competitions: Win A Sony TabletNot only can you win a Sony tablet, but with it comes a load of WWE tat goodies! I haven't watched WWE, or any of the other wrestling federation programmes for the best part of 20 years - it was always quite fun though.

Apparently, the Rock will soon be defending his title against John Cena (whoever THAT is!) and to celebrate they are giving away a tablet.

The answer to the question is: Dwayne Johnson (which is the Rock's real name - no wonder he calls himself something else! Dwayne doesn't have quite the same ring to it does it!) and you need to submit your entries before 18 April.

If you don't fancy a Sony tablet, then how about a Samsung Galaxy S3 handset or Note II tablet instead?

The answer to the question is: a) O2 and you need to make sure you get your entries in before 5 May to be in with a chance of winning.

I properly LOVE Burgandy wine! It can either be white or red (I know that the name 'Burgandy' suggests red) and if you've never tried it then you really must!

This prize is awesome, it comprises:

The case comprises:

  • Bernard Moreau Bourgogne Chardonnay
  • Jean-Marc Pillot Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Les Macherelles
  • Louis Michel Chablis Grand Cru Les Grenouilles
  • Regis Rossignol Bourgogne Pinot Noir
  • Fernand Lecheneaut Morey-St-Denis; and
  • Laurent Roumier Clos Vougeot Grand Cru

The whole case is worth £245 in total.

The answer is: 1950 and the closing date for entries is 30 April.

GOOD LUCK!

Free Competitions: Win An iPad Mini, The Entire Range Of Baxters Chutneys, Surround Sound System

by Sarah Macdonald in Comps on 5 April, 2013 at 5:00 pm

Free Competitions: Win An iPad Mini, The Entire Range Of Baxters Chutneys, Surround Sound SystemFirst up on this Friday afternoon (can you believe it's Friday already!) is an iPad mini - I don't have an iPad as I've never really felt the need for one; I won't have an iPad mini either as I just can't see where they fit into the grand scheme of things.

If you'd like to have a bash at winning one then simply hand give this answer: a) Two Face and then hand over your details before 18 April.

I'm starving at this current moment in time and am desperately trying to put off having to go grocery shopping as soon as I've finished work for the day.  It's always LETHAL going shopping when you're hungry - never, ever do it - and now I've got chutneys, cheese and wine on my mind, having read about the prize for this competition!

Baxters make awesome chutneys: they have 10 different varieties including the rather scrummy Traditional Caramelised Onion Chutney, then there's their tasty Red Pepper and Jalapeno Chilli Chutney.

Ten lucky winners will win their entire range of chutneys (yum), plus a cheeseboard (YUM!!), cheese knife and fine wine glasses (that I'll happily put some very wine in!).

The answer to the question is: 40 years and the closing date for entries is 30 April.

If you've been reading competitions for a while, you'll know that I've been in the market for a new TV for absolutely a-g-e-s! I saw a great TV the other day, the screen was 84 inches - my goodness, this thing was HUUUGE!!  A little big for my lounge methinks, it would be like sitting in the front row of the cinema every night.

Anyway, the search for the perfect TV is coming to an end, but now there's the thorny subject of surround sound systems! My dad has a rather epic set up, so anything less than that is going to be a little naff in comparison.

I'm telling all this because the prize at the end of this competition is a surround sound system. It looks rather good and can be yours for freeeeee, IF you're the lucky winner!

The answer to the question is : George Lucas and the closing date for entries is 6 May.

GOOD LUCK!

Free Competitions: Cash! £500 Worth Of Aromatherapy Products

by Sarah Macdonald in Comps on 2 April, 2013 at 5:00 pm

Free Competitions: Cash! £500 Worth Of Aromatherapy ProductsI'm going to kick off today's competition offerings with CASH - I love cash, I'm sure you love cash, introduce me to someone who says they don't want to be given some cash and I'll call them a liar to their face!

Going begging this time is a cool £2 600, yours to do with what you will.

The answer to the question is: B (vixen) and the closing date for online entries is 8 April at 5pm.

I'm find it difficult to find time to relax at the moment - between work and training in the gym, getting an 'awake' minute to myself to unwind is proving almost impossible. I say 'awake' minute because obviously no one bothers me when I'm asleep, which is usually around 7.30pm at the moment!

What I need to do, I think, is actually schedule an appointment to go and get an aromatherapy massage or something. I love aromatherapy bits and bobs, so I might just enter this competition to win £500 worth of Aromatherapy Associates products.

There's no question to answer, just register and hand over your details before 30 April to be in with a chance of winning. 

OR, maybe I should go the whole hog and lock myself away in a spa for a 'well being' break! Now that sounds like a plan and is exactly what's in store for the winner of this competition.

As a bit of an added bonus you'll also be given a complete health and wellness MOT and taught how to lose a few pounds, if you need to.  If you don't, then you might want to smuggle in a few choccie bars and other goodies - having read all the blurb, they're going to be in short supply (just don't tell them I suggested that!).

If all of that appeals to you then, again, you just need to submit your name and contact details before the end of 30 April.

GOOD LUCK!

Free Competitions: Win £500 Le Creuset Cookware Set, A Mini Table Football, Farmyard Table And Chairs Set

by Sarah Macdonald in Comps on 31 March, 2013 at 5:00 pm

Free Competitions: Win £500 Le Creuset Cookware Set, A Mini Table Football, Farmyard Table And Chairs SetI love my Le Creuset pots and pans - they're rather fabulous, even if they are super heavy. And it'll only take forgetting that the handles get as hot as the rest of the pan, once!

If you've been hankering after some Le Creuset bits and bobs then enter this competition and you could win yourself the following:

  • A cast Iron 28cm Round Casserole in Cerise
  • A toughened Non-Stick 28cm Shallow Frying Pan,
  • A set of 3-ply Stainless Steel Saucepans (16cm, 18cm & 20cm)
  • A Le Creuset spatula

The answer to the question is: a lifetime and the closing date for entries is 31 May.

Here's a chance to win a Mini Football Table. It comes complete with ten individually detailed players (for five aside games), two mini footballs and score boards.  It will fit in any home and is easy to put away when not in use. Simply place on a table or the floor and you can kick off!

There's no question to answer, just hand over your details before 17 April.

This Farmyard table and chairs set is rather cute - it's suitable for children over three years old and the sturdy square table comes with four brightly-coloured matching chairs, each featuring the face of a familiar farm animal. There's a friendly pig, duck, sheep and cow, and the whole thing is wipe clean too.

The answer is: 2004 and you need to submit your entries before 30 April.

GOOD LUCK!

Free Competitions: Win An iPad Mini, £5k In Cash, £250 To Spend In Accessorize

by Sarah Macdonald in Comps on 29 March, 2013 at 5:00 pm

Free Competitions: Win An iPad Mini, £5k In Cash, £250 To Spend In AccessorizeI really want to know whether someone has ever been declared the lucky winner of a competition that we've featured - other than our own of course!

Up for grabs first, today, is an iPad mini - this little gadget is on my youngest son's birthday present wish list. Bearing in mind he had an iPod Touch for his fourth birthday, an iPad mini isn't inconceivable for his seventh.

I've never hankered after an iPad, mini or otherwise, but if you have, then enter this competition and see if you can win yourself one.

All you have to do to enter is hand over your name, and email address, before 14 June.

If you're a regular competition reader you'll know I can't resist a good cold, hard cash competition - well come on, tell me you wouldn't love to win cash without having to part with any to enter!

Five thousand pounds is going begging this time - just think of all the things you could do with that.

The answer is C (Robbie Williams, if you really want to know) and the closing date for online entries is 5pm on 5 April.

One of my most favourite shops is Accessorize - I find all of those different coloured scarves, and bits and pieces, utterly irresistible.  So I'm going to enter this competition to win £250 worth of vouchers to spend there.

The answer to the question they're asking is: 2.Emma Stone and the closing date for entries is 31 May.

GOOD LUCK!

Free Competitions: Win A Holiday On The Glacier Express, £2 700 Cash Or A Holiday To Fuerteventura

Free Competitions: Win A Holiday On The Glacier Express, £2 700 Cash Or A Holiday To FuerteventuraJust in case you haven't had enough of the snow and ice, you can win a trip on the Glacier Express (it sounds properly Christmassy to me! OOOOH, did I mention the C word already?! Shame on me, but with all the snow around, everywhere looks rather festive).

The Glacier Express is an amazing train that will take you on a route that is one of the most famous and beautiful in the world with breathtaking views of the Swiss Alps, or so the official blurb says.

The first-class trip includes four-nights' accommodation, three-course lunches on the Glacier Express, as well as four-star accommodation and return flights from London.

You don't have to answer any daft questions, just hand over your details before 31 May to be in with a chance of winning.

For those of you who are more cold blooded and like to bask in the sunshine at the beginning of the day, to warm up, then perhaps seven-day holiday away at the Barcelo Castillo Beach Resort in Fuerteventura will sooth your frost bitten bones.

Again, you don't have to answer any questions and, again, you must submit your details before 31 May.

And finally, for those of you who just want cash to splash on a holiday of your own choosing, here's the chance to win £2 700.

The answer to the question is: C (Toy Story) and the closing date for online entries is 3 April at 5pm

GOOD LUCK!

PlayPennies Giveaway: Win One Of TWO Gym Memberships For A Year With GymCube!

When you become a Mum free time becomes just a distant memory. With errands to run and things to sort out here, there, and everywhere, it’s not very easy to get some time to yourself to relax, de-stress, and stay fit. In fact as a new Mum, or even an older Mum, you can pretty much forget about spending much time at the gym right?

Not only do you have to find the time to get down to the gym, making sure it fits in with all your commitments, you also have to find the money to pay for it, which can be pretty extortionate, especially when there are lots of things your kids are asking for!

Still, exercising is a great way to de-stress and relax, and just help to rejuvenate your body and mind. And how do you fit it into your ever changing schedule? Well that’s why we created GymCube.com.

GymCube.com is a revolutionary new website, the first of its kind to use state of art streaming technology to bring LIVE and On Demand exercise classes straight into your home, office or hotel, on any internet enabled device.

We have leading pre/post natal expert Cherry Baker teaching the highest quality specialist exercises for expecting and new Mum’s, making staying fit and healthy simple and easy during and after pregnancy, and we have top quality dance instructors so you can Strictly Come Wiggle, or Salsacise every week!

And with our extensive Anytime archive section available for our members to catch up with any of our 300+ exercise classes, ranging from circuit training to yoga, to aerobics and Pilates, you don’t need to worry about missing a workout any more because of other commitments! You can just watch a class whenever you want, wherever you want.

We’ve even got some kids dance classes on, to give yourself that little half an hour of free time to yourself, while your child gets some fun and safe exercise, promoting healthy living and eating in the meantime.

Free Competitions: Win A Biscuit Hamper, A Stay At A Macdonald Hotel, A Week In The MaldivesSunday means coffee, and coffee means biscuits (or cake, or BOTH!) so to celebrate Sunday, here's your chance to win a biscuit hamper.  But it's not just a hamper full of biscuits (although it is), it also contains a teapot (just in case you're not a coffee fan!) and a couple of mugs.

In fact, here's the skinny on what it contains (which won't help you stay skinny, but what the hell...)

  • Belgian Choc Chunk Shortbread
  • Butterscotch Shortbread
  • Cheese Oat Nibbles

Now tell me you couldn't do some serious damage to those biccies on a Sunday!

The answer to the question is: Aberdeenshire and you need to get your entries in before 2 April.

I couldn't resist this competition - the prize is a two-night stay at a luxury Macdonald hotel.  Well, with a name like that they couldn't be anything else could they!

There are 45 Macdonald hotels in the UK and you can choose to stay in whichever one you like; awesome, sometimes there's nothing quite like a weekend away.

You don't need to answer any questions, just hand over your details before 18 April to be in with a chance of winning.

Okay, if you fancy going a little further afield then how about a trip to the Maldives? If you win, you, and whoever you want to take with you, will enjoy seven nights at the 4.5-star Maafushivaru resort in a beach villa with an all-inclusive package. Roundtrip airfare to the Maldives from London is included, plus local transfers by seaplane (that'll be fun!).

Various things are excluded, like: UK transfers, transportation to the London departure airport, any meals and drinks other than those stated, and any activities in the resort.  You also have to take your holiday between 16 May – 22 July 2013.

Free Competitions: Win A 26 Inch HDTV, £2 720 Cash, Samsung Galaxy Android Camera

by Sarah Macdonald in Comps on 19 March, 2013 at 5:00 pm

Free Competitions: Win A 26 Inch HDTV, £2 720 Cash, Samsung Galaxy Android CameraI saw an 84 inch TV the other day - it was MASSIVE!!  Seriously, it'd be like sitting in the front row of the cinema if it was in an average sized lounge.  It would make this 26 inch HDTV look like a postage stamp if you put them side-by-side, but I suppose not everyone wants a huge beast of a screen dominating the entire room, so for them it's perfect.

It features wifiTV and freeview too, and comes with a Room on the Broom DVD (it's worth entering just for that!!).

There's no question to answer, just your details to enter before 7 April.

I can't help it, cash competitions RULE and I find them impossible to resist - tell me you only enter the holiday, TV, iPad ones and skip the chance to win thousands of pounds...I bet you lie about other things too *grin*

The stash of cash up for grabs this time is £2 720 - not millions (<---- said in my best Del Boy!), but will certainly make a dent in your debt, or go towards a rather lovely holiday.

The answer is: A (rose, is the actual answer if you really want to know) and the closing date for online entries is 25 March at 5pm. 

Do you fancy one of the new Android cameras? If you do, enter this competition to win a Samsung Galaxy Android Camera. It's spec' reads as follows:

  • High quality 16 megapixel camera
  • Latest Android functionality to give you internet access, instant uploads and a huge range of apps
  • Wide angle lens
  • 20x optical zoom; and
  • 4.8 inch touch screen display, to name just a few!

All you have to do is hand over your details before 25 March to be in with a chance of winning.

GOOD LUCK!
