Here’s Barbarara’s instructions from last year on doing clicky links:

Open double square brackets
No space
Paste link
Space
Name of link
No space
Close double square brackets

Like this
[[www.amazingbargains.com bargain ]] but with no space after/before the brackets.
If I do it again without the extra spaces only the word bargain will appear in blue

This stationary subscription box looks beautiful -space themed this month. My DS will love it. Half price first box and can cancel any time papergang.ohhdeer.com/new-sub-offer?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=cpc&fbclid=IwAR1zuxWowiejiO3hOi-WNH8aFj_hV4qN1uSklkO5bm7t_FV_47ilEetYks4#

FYI regarding Look fantastic mystery boxes.
One of my LF boxes was marked on front & damaged back. spoke to live chat & mentioned I had duplicated boxes and they apologised and offered £5 credit to the account for the duplicates & £2 refund for my damaged box.
Maybe worth speaking to them just for the £5 credit if your going to use them for anything else !

@Vebrithien

This one, happy to swap for a pink one!

I'll happily swap a pink box for a purple one! I have no idea how to PM to sort it out thought, so feel free to message me

Thanks to Eliope and Coffeeonthesofa. Very helpful although pulling in different directions!

I forgot to share these gems from home bargains.
The cute but tacky toilet fancy dress was only £4.99.
My teen dd was laughing her head off at the Fart Jacobs, I have no idea what is in for £16.99 as I was laughing too.

@buckeejit

The best I could find was to use my nectar points to double up (on double up promotion) and got them that way. Probably paid a few quid ontop. Couldnt find any other way to get a discount.

Hi to all, I am delighted to have allowed myself on to this board as I always hold off until September Thank you for the links so far, I am hoping that these threads will be as fun this year as they've always been, despite covid. I'm also hoping that I'll actually save money, as I usually end up buying lots of things that are fantastic bargains but not really saving myself money overall!! but I suppose that's the way it goes at Christmas (well, it does for me anyway)

I think DD would love one of those big cosy blanket hoodie things that I think are called an Oodie?! She's only 10. I'd love a heads-up if anyone comes across a bargainous one please!

£1.50 card factory

Can someone link the ASDA coat again please?

My Look Fantastic order arrived - 3 different boxes. It's mostly skincare which I prefer to make-up so I'm very pleased. The lipstick isn't my colour but I can pass it on. I ended up with 1 pink, 1 purple and then a green and gold box.

I have an oodie & so does my DD, hubby and Mum! Don't have a discount code unfortunately We went for the Family bundle as it worked out cheaper. Think it worked out £39 each! We love them, can't wait for the colder nights to wear, even though I do wear them on the cooler evenings already!

George coats

The entertainer has fingerlings for £5 each. Would they be good for a 5 year old girl?

Tk maxx has our generation dolls for 19.99 and outfits for 9.99. My local had about 5 different styles of dolls

Thanks @memo7 for the heads up, just ordered!

@UselessInDisguise I dont know about cheap but DS was given these for his first birthday and loved them

And thank you reastie for the thread of course.

Got an email from Cox & Cox for 20% off of full priced items using code EM0820, valid until 30/09. Not sure if it is single use but it doesn’t say so.

Three green boxes from look fantastic for me. Bit jealous of those of you who got a mix. C'est la vie.

If anybody's kids are into (the horror show that is!) Moon&Me

Thank you for all the book recommendations! I've had a look through a few and going to browse through the rest tonight and place an order!

Pens on amazon down to £2

Thank you to the poster who added the link and code for the bath bombs. I've ordered some and can't wait for them to arrive!

For those looking for books. The "Books for Bugs" website is fantastic all year round value. All books £2.50, some even go to £1! Theyre my new go to since The Book People closed down.

Ordered the coat in black and teal

Just got back from Home Bargains, they had moon and me toys for very very cheap.

The large Pepi Nana talking doll was £3.99 instead of RRP £25, the house was £3, the set of 5 figures were £2 and the cars with a figure were £1.50 each!
