Close double square brackets

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

Could anyone please recommend bath bombs that are cheap and change the colour of the water? DC love them but lush is a bit expensive for toddlers.

Or some nicer ones in a set I could break up and use for individual stockings? Thinking of doing my siblings stockings this year as well!

Thanks @TenCornMaidens

@hanpanpeg I have brought my DS (3) a blue shark bath bomb from home bargains for £1 for his stocking. They had other ones, pink, green etc. Might be worth a look?

I've bought the bomb cosmetics bath bomb on amazon, 7 for £10.40 in an Xmas hessian sack

We had them last year and dc were pleased with them

That sylvanian families lighthouse is the same price at The Entertainer but free click and collect (or free postage if you spent another £10).

Thank you to whoever recommended freeprints. I've just ordered 45 6x4 prints for £2.50 delivered! Need to update our family photo collage in the kitchen!

@VacMan DH is a half size and I sized up. He says they’re a good fit.

Thanks @CottonHeadedNinnyMug @Hurryupbaby11 @TheHalloweenFairy for the garden ideas. I’m away to check them out now.

@HanPanPeg I highly recommend Mrs Snowballs bubble boutique for bath bombs, they are heaps better than lush and turn the water amazing colours and loads cheaper too.

@HanPanPeg the crayola bath dropz are brilliant for toddlers. Granted you don’t get the fizz or prettiness of a bath bomb but they colour the water well.

@HanPanPeg I got a bath bomb in B&M which lit up if that was an option. They had some different ones as well. Think was £3-4. Was at start of year and iv not been back due to lockdown but I assume they will still have in stock

Thank you to @Someaddedsugar for the Lakeland codes. I got £5 off a much needed new mop!

How far in advance can you buy the bath bombs? There is a treasure chest that pirate mad DS will love so want to get it for his stocking/christmas eve box. But dont want to get it too early!

Excellent thanks @Dreamingofwalden

I used to work in lush and we would say they bath bombs would last a year. They would actually last about 18 months but after a year they are more powdery and fizz much faster. So buying now for Christmas will be fine

I find the Primark bath bombs are ideal for the children. Mine tend to like them every time they have a bath (if they can get away with it). They’re only £1, and the coloured ones tend to change the colour of the water.

Thanks hiredandsqueak their chart had Ds12 as an XXXL which didn't seem right

Just ordered some PlayStation Pjs and socks from NEXT as well, must stop now, I am a sucker for a theme

Air fryer half price

Also this message is below the air fryer

I bought DD's bath bombs too early last year and they were impossible to hide because the smell gradually filled the house

Thank you both! I'm going to order it now. Just pjs to go for DS christmas eve box now!

Anyone come across any good kids christmas pjs in the sale while I'm at it?! I really need to get better at getting this stuff in the January sales!

@VacMan yes size up with the slippers :)

The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse book is down to £7 on Amazon, would make a nice gift!

Bath bombs from primark, b&m, home bargains etc. Dont break the bank :) theres also some in body shop for 1.50 that smell amazing and change the colour of the water x
