    £6 is the cheapest trio toy I could find at ELC - do you think it will be this or a very small special offer set?

    Well my mum has gone there now so I'll let you know as soon as they come back...

    Claire: I'm so gutted I missed M&S's offer of the day today*, as I have a £20 credit off them for a c*ck up!

    *Note, I don't actually need it, I just really really like it.

    Edit: It's 2pm and my mother's been out to get the ELC toy for hours... and no sign. I think she's gone for a big shop, so by the time she gets home all the toys may have gone, so don't rely on her! But the picture in the paper shows some truck thing. Not really exciting... but free with paper.

    Edited again: It's 2.30pm, my mum went fairly early to the nearest ELC, they said they had none in store and to go to another one. Sorry :(.

    Hello,

    The free Lego toys from next Saturday are great for the Shoebox appeal, if anyone is buying the paper anyway.

    Thanks to everyone who posts.

    It's 2 tokens per voucher and the party size covered by the voucher depends upon where you want to redeem it.

    For one place near me it's only 4 but at another it's 6.

    I'm guessing that some might just be as low as 2 but others might stretch up to 8 (or may even be unlimited)

    As always, thanks Quoia.

    Just out of interest how do you find this info out please?

    Anyone had any success with the free ELC toy? we got told in the Guildford store today that head office hadn't told the stores about the promo and they hadn't had any of the toys in but they would be getting them later in the week. Chap looked a bit harrassed and like several people had already asked him.
    The coupon is valid for a week anyway I think.

    The only ELC in my town said they'd not had any in and to come back next week. I've got a feeling I just got duped into buying the Express for nothing.

    I went to the Daily Mail promotions webpage - as listed by NUDGE in post #4 - and basically followed the instructions posted

    and found the relevant link for this offer

    >>> http://www.dailymaildining.co.uk/index.php

    put in my postcode - selected a "within X miles" DISTANCE

    and searched for restaurants

    Then I picked an UNDER value - £5, £10, £20 or £25

    and then I read the BOOKING DETAILS for that venue.

    Most include a TERMS & CONDITIONS of use :)
