If you get yourself over to iTunes today you'll be able to pick up this iBackgammon app for free, for either your iPad and/or iPhone.

• Click HERE to dash over to the iTunes app store *

I love classic board games like backgammon; I was taught to play the classic trio of backgammon, draughts and chess when I was little - my dad taught me to play, we used to play for Smarties; it was such fun.

Whilst I'm a traditionalist at heart - you can't beat playing these games with real pieces on a real board, as far as I'm concerned - there's still room for digital versions of games like backgammon.

This iBackgammon app features the classic design (I like that they haven't messed around with it and tried to make it look modern and funky), has four difficulty settings, two player mode and computer opponents who will put you through your iBackgammon paces.

If you've never played backgammon before, don't worry - the rules of play are included within the app for you and whilst the board looks a bit weird, it's a very simple game to get the hang of and very addictive (don't say I didn't warn you!).

Remember, this iBackgammon app is free for TODAY ONLY, it's usual price is £2.99 - just download it now, it'd be a shame to miss out.

Harvester is all about offers lately and this month they have a special on where you can get a free starter or free dessert by using the voucher that I have linked to below. There are the usual terms and conditions, of course, but if you are planning a night out, then this is well worth taking with you.

• Click here to get your freebie voucher from Harvester

When you print out the voucher that I have linked to above, you will get free desserts or starters for you and five friends. These include free Crackerjack Prawns or free Breaded Mushrooms or a free Sundae Best ice cream when you purchase a main meal each.

It isn’t a huge amount of variety, that’s true. I mean either prawns or mushrooms and when you consider that these two foods are usually disliked by most people, well, it is a bit mean. However, the free ice cream is cool and, let’s face it, anything free is fun! And it is worth noting that this is only valid until 31 October 2012.

This week is Children’s Book Week and It’s Your Story are offering a free ebook to everyone on PlayPennies that’s worth £2.50. This gorgeous freebie is to honour the wonders of reading and encouraging children to immerse themselves in the wonderful world of books.

• Click here to get your free eBook from It’s Your Story

This year, to coincide with Children’s Book Week, It’s Your Story is offering PlayPennies readers a free personalised eStory that is worth £2.50. The eStory can be read to 3-4 year olds and is also suitable for independent reading for up to nine years old.

The theme of Children’s Book Week is Heroes and Heroines and so the free eStory is the same theme. This hero and heroines book depicts your child as a fearless superhero, SuperSox, who squeezes through keyholds, blasts through walls and flies through the sky to rescue stolen teddies.

There is an animation on every page as well as the child’s picture and details that are personal to them. Just go to the site and enter PLAYPENNIES at the checkout and you will get your fantastic free eStorey to share with the kids.

Amazon Family is basically a membership programme for parents of young children that helps you save money as you go. You get a range of regular benefits, plus these extras which also include £10 off when you spend £50 in their Baby Store, and at least £50 of exclusive offers every month.

How would you like to get a nice free ice cream at Toby Carvery? Well, it’s easy as pie. All you need to do is download a voucher (I’ll show you where below) and take it with you to your nearest Toby Carvery to get your tasty freebie.

• Click here for free ice cream with Toby Carvery

Download the voucher for a free dairy ice cream from Toby Carvery by clicking on the link above. When you buy a carvery, you will now be entitled to get one free ice cream per voucher. The treat is available from Monday to Saturday until 27 October 2012.

You cannot use the voucher on a Sunday or on Bank Holidays and it is not valid at the Toby Carvery Express, Toby Local or Toby Carvery Hemel Hempstead and Metrocentre. One voucher is fine per six guests and an adult must buy an adult carvery and a child must buy a child carvery to be eligible for the offer. You also can’t use it in conjunction with any other offers.

It was a moment of pure chance, something I did just to see what would happen, and I ended up getting a bunch of free things that really did rock my world. Most relate to the Kindle or to Amazon’s MP3 store, but still they are great.

• Click here to find all the free stuff on Amazon today

I found the Hamlyn QuickCook recipe book taster with sample ideas and recipes, I found the Amazon top selling free songs listing and several books across a variety of different categories. You can sort out what type of freebie you want using the drop-down lists on the left-hand side of the screen too.

While you may find that this is predominantly made up of free Kindle books, these are not to be sneezed at. Although you may find that it will take you a while to go through them all as the range on offer is pretty prodigious. Enjoy it though, I am not sure how long they will stay on the site for.

Fancy getting the Sloane Monroe series boxed set for absolutely free? Well, you can today because Amazon has it up for zero pennies in their store. Go quickly and grab it if you fancy a free murder mystery series to enjoy as the nights draw in.

• Click here to get reading with Amazon

The Sloane Monroe series includes three books by Cheryl Bradshaw and each is a complete novel. In Black Diamond Death you enter the world of Sloane Monroe on the slopes of Park City, Utah. A woman is found dead and PI Sloane doesn’t believe that this was an accident...

In Sinnerman she has now become something of a legend, solving every case that’s come across her desk except for one. This was the brutal murder of her sister, Gabrielle. Three years have passed and now another murder looks to be exactly the same...

Finally, in I Have A Secret, Sloane Monroe is back in her home town to solve a murder and save the day...

Petit Filous and Frubes have joined forces to launch the Petit Filous & Frubes After School Club which offers a whole range of exciting after school activities free with points collected from packs of Petit Filous or Frubes.

• Click here to find out more about this freebie from Petit Filous and Frubes

New research from Petit Filous suggests that keeping kids busy comes at a cost as a fifth of parents are paying £7 on average for their children’s after school activities. The Petit Filous and Frubes After School Club started this month – September 2012 – and points can be collected from any purchase of the products.

Free sessions can then be claimed by visiting the site above and choosing from various options available. The vouchers are valid until 26 November 2012 and must be booked by then at the latest. And it is worth noting that the purchase of a full price adult ticket may be required in order to receive a free session for an accompanying adult or child at some participating venues.

This seems interesting but I strongly advise you to see how many points you need for an activity, whether or not you have to pay for an adult ticket, see how many packets of product you have to buy in order to be eligible, and work out whether or not it is actually free or even cheaper.

I love weird body butter creams and lotions and potions. I especially enjoy the ones that you don’t expect to be amazing, the ones that look a bit odd and turn out to be the best thing in the world ever. I have a feeling that this body butter might fit this bill for some reason and I’m delighted that I get to try it out for free. Maybe it’s the name?

• Click here to get free butter from Dirty Works

I adore the Soap and Glory range of products that look remarkably similar to this range of products from Dirty Works. I bought a Soap and Glory body scrub that smells, quite frankly, astonishing. It is my best treat ever.

Dirty Works have joined with Sainsburys Magazine to offer their new fans a mini Supreme Cream Body Butter to try out. To claim your free sample, simply Like their page and then email your name, UK address, and post code to dirtyworks@brandarchitekts.com. Done.

I'm in a freebie mood today - what's not to love about something for nothing, especially when it's something that's useful and beneficial!

Aquafresh are giving away free samples of their Fresh and Minty toothpaste, or a new toothbrush, and all you have to do to claim it is sign up to join their Aquafresh club.

• Click HERE to bag your free sample of Aquafresh Fresh and Minty toothpaste or toothbrush

Aquafresh toothpaste always takes me back to being little; I remember there being much excitement when toothpaste went from being plain white (or pink a'la Mentadent P - do you remember that?) to having three stripes!

Teeth cleaning is a strange thing - my daughter has fabulous teeth and is rather proud of the fact that at 17 she has never had a filling; my eldest son (18) never liked having his teeth cleaned as a child and will avoid doing it to this very day if he can get away with it (honestly, I despair!) and my youngest son just gets on with it quietly - he doesn't love it like Ellie did, and does, he knows it's just something you do.

This latest Aquafresh freebie campaign forms part of their mission to get families cleaning their teeth more and reduce the (unacceptably) high level of tooth decay in our children.

I've just ordered four free fabric samples from made.com and I'm rather excited about them - I hope they arrive really quickly!

• Click HERE to order your own four free fabric samples

I absolutely ADORE freebies like this four free fabric samples one; it helps that I have a bit of a 'thing' for funky fabrics - my chosen free fabric samples are at the funky end of the fabric spectrum too, the ones above are the samples I chose! - and I can already see what I'm going to do with them.

I say I when I really mean my mum - you see, I'm actually not so handy when it comes to all things needle and cotton.  Sure, I can repair a fallen hem, I can even knock up a pair of curtains - well it's not hard, they're just huge rectangles, or squares, or fabric with hems and tabs or ruffler tape across the top - but I'm pretty rubbish when it comes to things like cushions that button, or tie, up.

And THAT is what I want to make with my four free fabric samples!  I have no idea how big they're going to be, but I can't see them being anything huge like a square meter, so I thought a patchwork cushion with the four free fabric samples as the feature patches would be pretty cool - especially if it looks professionally made because I didn't do it!

You have to create an account to be able to order your four free fabric samples, but that's hardly a hardship is it, and they'll email you a '£10 off your first order' voucher too.

Isn’t that just the best name for a product ever? The Woogie 2 is the awesome iPhone case for kids from Griffin technology and something that I really do recommend. I discovered Griffin purely by accident when I was shopping for a cover for my iPhone. My last phone, the HTC Hero, had been dropped, kicked, chewed, and dropped some more and the poor thing was a total wreck. I was taking no chances with my iPhone 4S.

The Griffin case I got is the Survivor in pink and my phone has been dropped down the stairs five times, dropped on the road several times and kicked more than once. It has also been in the rain and is utterly fine. There are some touch issues but overall the case has saved my iPhone’s life.

The Woogie 2 is this enormous and cuddly dude that houses the iPhone and keeps it utterly safe as kids play games and use the phone for entertainment. You can use the Woogie 2 on long trips on holiday as the feet form a kind of table to sit on a child’s lap, and it can handle any surface you throw at it except water. Water is a No Go.

Ok but wait, you see Woogie 2 is more than just a comfy case for your iPhone, there is also an app that brings Woogie to life with 10 faces that are activated by your child’s actions. So if your kid laughs, Woogie will too, if she shakes him, then he goes all dizzy. It’s hilarious. He even talks back a bit and comes with a quiet option to save parental sanity.

The Woogie 2 is on sale for £19.99 on Amazon and Griffin and is just genius. Honestly, I love the free app, the fact that it keeps my phone safe while my daughter plays with her apps on it, and that it is SO soft and cuddly.

This baby freebie ambles around the internet on a regular basis with the Aptamil Baby Club coming in and out of stock. Well, for you first time parents out there, the freebie is back on and it is definitely worth getting. We still have ours from years ago!

Now before you think that you’re getting a teddy bear, let me explain. It is a polar bear. A cute, sweet, fat little polar bear that baby will love. You need to use the code AMF10 when you sign up to the Aptamil Club in order to qualify for your freebies and you’ll also get pregnancy guides and samples.

You get expert nutritional advice tailored to your stage of pregnancy or parenthood delivered straight to your door and inbox. They do try and sell you stuff and it is only open to UK residents, but it is a great baby freebie nonetheless.
