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

@Howmanysleepsnow yes it would but I can’t justify that price plus the delivery. Thanks for looking though!

Playmobil have quite a lot of sets reduced. 20% off spirit collection, 25% off some others. I’m getting my daughter the vet set

Thanks @princessbear80 I ordered the unicorn one.

Brandalley is £15 off£60 on your first order LOVEBRANDALLEY

TheGriffle when dd had her ladybug obsession a couple of years ago I got the costume and wig from AliExpress and it was great. I also got a couple of the character dolls from Amazon which she played with a lot and they were really good quality. You could set an alert in camelcamel to see if they come down in price

Hi, I’m a regular who’s name changed. Haven’t managed to catch up properly yet but in case it hasn’t been mentioned Mixtiles have an offer on throughout September to buy 10 and get 10 free. The code is BUY10FREE10. I just got 20 for my DD’s birthday and she loved choosing them.

Cute little bath toy for £2.97 penguin

Can't see on the website but worth a look if you are going to TKMaxx...

Roald Dahl character puppets for £6.99. Between £21 and £25 on Amazon. I got Matilda, James (and the giant peach) and Willy Wonka. Come with finger puppets of other characters and would make a lovely gift with the matching book. They were in a mix of soft toys mostly very young looking so worth a rummage!

@17caterpillars1mouse I actually bought DS2 some of those fluffy lined crocs today! Purely because he's batman mad and currently lives in a pair of batman beach shoes despite having lots of others to choose from. He LOVES them and they seem comfy. I'm thinking he can wear them in the house as slippers or outdoors on dry days. I'm pretty laid back about what shoes are worn where as long as they won't hurt a foot or trek soggy mud in the house etc.

Almost bought 3 pairs of personalised socks with "Catherine" on them- I don't know a Catherine!! I stupidly thought you typed in somewhere which names you wanted

@SomethingInTheWaySheCooks how much does it work out at? I can’t see pricing on the website !

@Friedbanana I've ordered things from Brand Alley with no issues. Mostly nice wooden toys.

@scrambledbeans £122 for 20. Not terribly bargainous but more so than normal if it’s what you’re after.

Just ordered 34 bars of chocolate from Yankee Bundles Good price though, under £1 a bar. No cheap shops where I live so it's def a bargain for me!

Have just ordered the monthly seed box a pp mentioned above and managed to get 1st box for half price, so £6.50, with code SPDC5

These dates have just popped up on my FB...

Can anyone tell me what the kids garmin is please? I didn’t even know they existed and my son has been asking for one like his daddy’s.

@IAmNoAngel can you link to the seed box site? I have missed this completely

I'm crap at links, but the company is 'seed pantry'.

Those looking for micro scooters check halfords. I got a pink sprite for £75 today, its £100 on the website.

Does anyone know if bodyshop are likely to have a sale anytime soon?
My gran loves the white musk stuff so hoping to grab the gift set but its currently full price at 25 quid but I'm sure I got something similar last year for £12.50 ish!

So finally got round to ordering my Lego classic box from Asda!! I'm guessing lots of us have ordered this?
Also if you look under George Rewards section 300 points unlocks 10% off character clothing so I've ordered DS a nice Minecraft T shirt for £6.30

Definitely, there are always 40% at least codes cropping up for Body Shop, especially nearer Christmas. Try eBay as well. I've often picked up gift sets for next to nothing.

I'm chuckling at the Catherine socks and nominate @Shieldingending for next thread title.

Can’t seem to get the sock shop tip to work, they may have spotted it??

I did the sock shop tip at about 7.45 and worked fine then - I added two pairs of 12.5-3.5 blackberry and the two pairs of blue (same sized) went through at 0. All sets were the Elle ones if that helps.
