Kids Freebie: Lego Toys In The Sun Newspaper 19th Of May To 27th Of MayLego is expensive stuff, so any chance to get some free or cheap Lego is always welcome. Even if it does involve the Sun newspaper! It is the Sun giveaway time again. Free Lego packs are being given away with every issue starting today, the 19th of May, and running until the 27th of May.

To get this freebie, you need to either buy or get hold of a Sun newspaper. The newspaper costs 50p. Or at least it did today when I bought one in order to get this deal. I've never bought a Sun before so no idea if that's the normal price or not!

The voucher was on page 4 of the TV Biz pages in the middle of the newspaper. Take the voucher to either a WH Smith's or a Toys R Us.  Today's Lego toy is the Batman Jetski. Be quick though as when they ran this promotion last time a lot of stores very quickly ran out of toys.

You don't need to spend money. Chances are if you ask around you're bound to find someone who buys this paper and doesn't need the voucher. Last time, when they did the Pirate's of the Caribbean one, my husbands workmates all collected them for him. My son ended up with about six of each toy!

Here's the full list:

  • Saturday: Batman Jetski
  • Sunday: Batmobile
  • Monday: Ninjago Ninja Car
  • Tuesday: City race car
  • Wednesday: Star Wars Star Destroyer
  • Thursday: City Police Plane
  • Friday: City fire chief
  • Saturday: Ninjago Hidden Sword
  • Sunday: Star Wars TIE fighter

Win Big And Small With The Sun £9.50 Challenge

Here at PlayPennies HQ we were delightfully surprised by the sudden arrival of £9.50 in the post. “Why £9.50?” I hear you asking. Well, The Sun have started to give away vouchers that allow their readers to go away on holiday from £9.50 in both the UK and around Europe, and this all ties in with their amazing special offers.

So what do you have to do? Well, we are going to give this very £9.50 to the PlayPennies lad or lady that comes up with the best way to spend it. The Sun has challenged us to buy something even more exciting than a fabulous holiday for this teeny amount.

I, obviously, have absolute faith in PlayPennies Parents and reckon one of you is bound to come up with the best idea ever!

So what is the something big then? Well, you’ll get more than your £9.50 to spend on your exciting idea. If The Sun thinks your idea is the Bestest, the Brilliantest, and the Beautifullest then they are going to give you a brand new digital camera worth £200.

If your idea is imaginative, inventive, and amazing then please put it here. I want to see PlayPennies WIN this challenge! Good luck and get thinking!

Yes, it is definitely a good time to win big and small with The Sun.

£9.50 Holidays @ The Sun

£9.50 Holidays @ The Sun

Ok, so I’ve been desperate for a quick and tasty holiday for ages, just a fast and furious break that will get me away from the house without costing me a fortune. Imagine my delight when I discovered this deal! You can choose from a rather startling range of resorts for stupidly low prices on the Sun’s website.

Ok so while these holidays may not be at silver service resorts with waiters bowing to your every need, they will be in fun places that you’ve never seen before. Besides, half the holiday fun is in the people you go with anyway.

You can choose from a ton of UK-based holidays as well as some in France, Spain, Italy, Slovenia, Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg. The availability of places is shrinking fast so it’s probably best to get on there as soon as you can.

The actual booking process is rather stressful too. You are given ten minutes at each stage before the entire operation times out, and if you change your mind the Reset button doesn’t work so you have to delete your cookies. I am still hovering over the “purchase” button as I have no clue as to what these resorts will be like. Perhaps that’s half the fun?

Thanks to Sim at HUKD!
