Close double square brackets

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

I'm a long time lurker on this thread and have found them so useful in previous years. I am determined to be fully organised this year so have started making Christmas lists ready to start once the kids are back at school.

Not found any bargains to report yet but I did find out yesterday that smyths won't be having their 20% off sale this year 😢

Very has Playmobil advent calendars for £14.99. There's 3 to choose from: Christmas Grotto, Country Farm or Pirates.

@TheGriffle what about cross stitch kits or a little sewing machine?

I'm going to have a look in a bit!

Anyone buying for yoga enthusiasts tkmaxx have a lot of Gaiam products at the mo and good discounts, some at very very good discounts, just need the patience of a saint to get the order through as their website is not behaving itself at the mo!

@ClaraLane I know it shouldn't but that made me laugh re the teepee - apparently DS is getting a drum kit for Christmas this year despite me saying on multiple occasions that we have a few ideas for what he would like !

@Nixen thanks for that one - I'd been looking at the GLTC one but it's out of my ideal price range and that looks to be really similar!

Oh lucky you - bet you can’t wait! We’re very lucky in that we live in a leasehold property and aren’t allowed to play musical instruments here, I used that one when DH moved in with me so his (never used) drum kit had to stay at his parents’ house

@Nixen I managed to get the teepee for £26.40 and free postage thanks to a discount code - thanks so much again for the link! DS will love it!

@ClaraLane as you can imagine I'm absolutely thrilled and can't wait for Christmas Day 😣

@Fuckingfuckssake, I put mine on the thread a couple of hours ago, I don't know if anyone has used it.
