Open double square brackets

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

Has anyone seen an activity tracker for a good price? My 10yo had my old Fitbit and has managed to lose it. But cross with him, but he's really missing it.

Saw this posted on a Facebook site. Not sure if it’s all confirmed but handy to have as a guide.

@SparkleSW

The Smiggle advent calendar is out. I'm not buying it this year - not all that impressed with the contents.

SO happy 10 year old DS announced he's 'over Smiggle' this summer!

I read good housekeeping for free via my library app

@greyinganddecaying Argos have some of the Garmin Vivofits half price £29.99, sorry no link but should come up on search. Unsure if it’s certain designs but I got a Star Wars one last week I think.

That’s great @pasinphoebe - thanks! I’ll take a look.

Thanks @Trumpton. Just ordered GH mag, I’m excited about the Christmas edition already lol

[quote Puffinhead]@aimslou, I’ve just received an oversized hoodie from Amazon (like an oodie). It was £22, free delivery. I’m really happy with the quality, I’ve checked the seams/stitches and it seems fine.

I can’t link but if you search for Sienna Hoodie you should find it.[/quote]
I've just ordered one. £22 is a barg compared to the Oodie.

@Wtfdidwedo if you did decide to go second hand it's possible to get great sets off eBay and super cheap buckets off Gumtree or FB marketplace.

Same as a PP, I bought Lego Hogwarts Express for £49 on Amazon early November last year. Really great price and DS loved it

@JinglesWish
Your name might be a giveaway .
Cancel the dd as soon as you get the first magazine !

Thanks @XiCi ordered to subscription to start end of Nov . I always do this every year thanks to this thread!

I bought these for ds1 and ds3. Free postage and arrived within 2 days! The Harry Potter one has 3 lovely t-shirts and a door/bag tag thing.

Was there a code for Saville Row or was it just the sale? Ds2 would really like the lounge pants.

@BicycleMadeForTwo Sainsbury's could be the 23rd of September according to an insider I know

@Wtfdidwedo I bought the Duplo Cinderella Castle from eBay for about £25 and then sold it a couple of years later (as DD loved Duplo but not sets it turned out!) for about £22 so I’d recommend second hand!

greyinganddecaying I got this one and it does what it says

It is the Lionel Hogwarts Express train not the Lego one but, as I said, reviews are mixed. It was the Polar Express that I ordered.

Photos :)

Any chance of a pic of the tshirts?

Those of you ordering the Amazon Sienna hoodie - do a bit of scrolling before you buy them or hold off on buying right away; I bought one for dd1 in grey for £16 ish & went back for one in pink for dd2 & paid £18 for that so think the price goes up & down on them. Free delivery on both too.

@DumplingsAndStew
The Harry Potter ones are these ones.

@DumplingsAndStew and the film ones are these

Went to Home and bargain today and they had some fun christmas hand gels and soaps

Does anyone have a code for character.com? Trying to avoid paying £4.95 delivery!

@pasinphoebe thanks for the Star Wars fitbit suggestion, just bought 2 for my dc.

Also my scarfs arrived today from earlier in the thread so thanks to whoever suggested those!

Loving all these parcels arriving daily, I've got the photo box coasters and my neon sheep order arrived recently too, it's like Christmas!

Love this thread.
