Close double square brackets

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

The Zavvi bundle looks good- mine is due to be delivered today too

Smyths have confirmed they are not doing the offer in ireland so maybe the same in UK.....

Thanks for board game advice, I like the sound of Forbidden Island, DS definitely needs to learn to be more of a team player. Found for just over £15 on Zatu, thought that looked a good price. Added in the Kosmos haunted rollercoaster exit the room game. DD into all things haunted and spooky at the mo so that is perfect.

They also had Ticket to Ride Europe for £26, sure it is usually more than that. Didn't order it, that's enough for one day.

Do you have a link for this, @onedsrightnow?

"Well my free pants from On That Ass arrived but I’m majorly unimpressed because they’re all mouldy! Have just sent a stroppy email to them saying I was going to take out a subscription but I don’t think I’ll bother now as they send you mouldy pants in the post."

@ClaraLane there is a post on their website apologising for this and they will send you a free pair

Board game advice - Blokus is great fun. I bought it for dh last Christmas, (must've been a rec from here) & we cracked it open a few weeks ago & loved it. Took it for an away weekend & 2 other families we were with bought it the week after!

Also after real bargain board games & doing a cull of the bad ones from here.

Also for a fun gift the perfume society is good-you can pay £25 to be a member for the year & get a goodie box & discounted other boxes. You see what you get before purchase & they've been well received gifts when I've bought them.

Top5 will get you an extra 5% off at bargain max. Not sure if its just on sale items. Its today only.

Next thread title - the one with the mouldy pants?!

Argh - DH's main present is a Lego set that's exclusive to John Lewis. I've had it sat in my basket for weeks, waiting for a deal - and now that I'm ready to order, it's out of stock

Thank you though, @Jfw82 - fingers crossed I'll get the chance to use it...!

@trumpton. That’s very annoying. I find you have to be so careful on Amazon these days between stuff coming from China, and blatant knock offs.

Wild and Wolf have Orla Kiely, not sure if that's the one someone was looking for, link attempt here

@sorryiasked thank you it was Temptation gifts but will have a nosey at Brand Alley as well.

ooh and I will look at wild and wolf as well @lexloofah thank you

Thanks thelegohooverer frothy the Lego movie kit link as have been looking for this at a cheaper price. 👍

These Aukey wireless headphones are 70% off with code I9IY64PO. Makes them £15 delivered.

Just stocked up on stocking fillers at Primark. Lots of good bits for cheap. Love these cute bath finger puppets for £3!

@lexloofah my DSs adore Forbidden Island and we love it because there’s no bickering.

My Neon Sheep order arrived today.

Got some great socking fillers and gifts so am very happy with my order.

Worth checking site out as still have stuff on offer and free delivery if you spend over £10.

@pasinphoebe I’ve got the same earbuds as @buckeejit. They’re great

3 pink boxes. Grr. I just wanted a purple

Oh well, cleaners gifts sorted for xmas

@CometCupidDonnerBlitzen now I know why DH just packed up his PS4 and announced he’s selling it 😂 Assume he’s buying the PS5

Thank you for Earphone suggestions, if anyone else is looking I ordered urbanista ones :) can’t vouch for them as not given them yet!!

Love the Asda coat!! It’s sold out in nearly every size. Anyone have luck in store?

Has anybody seen cheap toy tiara's anywhere
