Close double square brackets

Like this
[[www.amazingbargains.com bargain ]] but with no space after/before the brackets.

@FireflyGirl thanks for the Dorothy Perkins code I’ve ordered scarves for my a few people on my list and a few bits for my teen dd.

@MissMarple0203 I've bought several of the non branded magformers on amazon (just type in magnetic tiles). They've all been excellent so far and the tiles are all the same size so you can mix different sets up and they'll still be compatible.

For an alternative to hotel chocolat hot chocolate flakes I can recommend pendragon drinks. I have no affiliation with them, just found them when I was searching for cinnamon hot chocolate online. I ordered 3 samples and have since been given some bigger bags for my birthday. They do some interesting flavours!

Would the lavazza machine do enough for 2 children at once? I think I might treat the kids if it goes down to £20 again

We've got a de longhi coffee machine with the steamer spout at the side though so wondering if I should try that?!

With the lavazza one though ds could use it himself I think

@TheGirlWhoLived I’m not sure if you’ve already seen but the happyland rose cottage is in the entertainer clearance?

Turtle Doves have sent an email saying all their items are in the sale if anyone is after some snuggly sustainable cashmere!

Now I really want a Lavazza milk frother! Sorry if these questions have already been asked but, how much milk does it froth in one go and which one is it? There seem to be two, one around £40 and another that has a sort of handle. Thinking the student DC might like one each.

Have just answered my first question by googling! 🤣

Buy a gift are doing £10 off a £20 spend with code QUICK10, seems they are always sending me codes!

Thank you for sharing your code, it was worth a try! I'm not 100% sold on whether to buy one or not! I do like a hot chocolate. I think I will message hotel Chocolat and get a code and then I have the option...

It’s the one without the handle I bought. It does one cup at a time. There are a couple of fill lines on it but I always add more and go over the lines as I’ve got a couple of huge mugs I like to have my milky drinks in!

I don't know how bargainous they can be found, but I have the Dualit milk frother thing. It's excellent. I think it was about £60 when I got it about 4yrs ago.

Is it me, or does a "velvetiser" sound like a premium word for milk frother and people are paying a fortune for it? Because that's the only difference I can see. Mine does froth, hot drinks, cold drinks...

I haven't seen the velvetiser though, maybe it looks a lot nicer than the Dualit one? But again, it's not something you display, it lives in a cupboard.

SideOrderOfChips hopefully you’re still on here. Have you seen that Red has stopped shopping to the Channel Islands?? They cancelled my order yesterday despite sending to me just two weeks ago

I got a lavazza for xmas last year and it does enough for one cup, but the milk is not piping hot. I usually top it up with boiling water in the cup.

Birchbox

AUG505 gets you August’s box for £5.05 plus p&p.

Debenhams have upto 70% off.

Agree the Dogman books are great value in the Amazon 2 for £7. We've bought quite a few books during lockdown in the offer, I've found that some books not in the offer sneak into the full list. I usually check they all have the 2 for £7 underneath the individual listing and then the code works.

Pissingkitten the cocoba hot chocolate bombes from JL mine have use by end fab 2021. X

Thank you Mrsfussypants1. That's a big help. I'm placing my order now!

Thnx for 2 for £7 tip, the list is pretty good with books from little ones to YA and actually had two that were on my list (Wilbur Smith's Cloudburst and Toto Ninja cat) and even better came in at £5 for the two

I am afraid I have nothing to offer in return I guess I need to start signing up to all those marketing emails that I usually opt out of ...

Lakeland voucher code £5 off £30- 1275 8011 3019 7153

Lakeland voucher code £10 off £60- 1275 8111 3126 6700

I'm not sure if they are 1 use or not but hopefully useful for someone :)

www.geekstore.com/collections/homeware/products/official-star-wars-new-hope-candle-set

This Star Wars candle set is a great price at £5 with free shipping.
This website in general is pretty good for the geeky/teens in your life but you do have to poke about for bargains as they don't have a sale section

@Mrsfussypants1 Was that using the JL code for the cocoba? It's not working for me

I'm sure those working in services know about it but it is really worth getting a Blue Light Card for discounts. So many different retailers and it is only £5 to sign up for it.

Seasalt for example were 50% off last month

@bagginses - Nice of you to share! I don't need anything from Lakeland at the moment, but usually buy from their Christmas gift range when it launches, so just wondered how you got the codes, please? I.e. is there some mailing list that I should be signing up to now?

@PowerslidePanda, yes, Lakeland have something to sign up to (may be My Lakeland). There'll be a link on the website. My DH is signed up and gets regular vouchers.

Yes, I ordered the non vegan version (box has palm leaves on). It worked when I put it through, can't remember if it was saturday/Sunday, but I just paid £2 click and collect. I read somewhere on this thread the code had changed slightly.
