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

@Reastie Just a heads up were almost full!

At home poorly and have seen that M&S gin in pretty Christmas design being mEntioned but can't see the original note about it ?

From what I have seen there is either Rhubarb or Clementine for £18 a bottle is that right ? Forgive daft question - so drugged up on meds with back pain.

Also where is the best place online to buy a very large bag of peanut M&Ms? Thank you

@recklessgran funnily enough I just messaged them as I was thinking about them. They messaged back quickly to say sorry but they were overwhelmed with orders and they will message me to say when they get dispatched.

Ha! Ha! Looks like we collectively bought all the Christmas tree chopping boards! Below is the response I received further to my e-mail to customer services about 10 minutes ago. Thought everyone might like to know the current situation on these.

Hi Reckless,
So sorry for the delay on your order, due to an overwhelming response we had high volumes of orders our chopping boards are taking longer than the standard dispatch time, I couldn't guarantee a delivery date I'm afraid, We're currently working round the clock to get through all orders in date order, you'll receive a notification when it is on its way to you 🙂
Love Lottie x

Quite a lot of the Matalan bits I liked are unavailable at the moment but I've signed up for email alerts when they come in (we all know how well that works for me!)

They are doing 3 for 2 in wrapping paper and accessories though, I got Christmas dinosaur and Christmas unicorn paper for the kids' stocking presents but they also have Xmas themed lol surprise, Harry Potter, Peppa, Disney princesses, Frozen, Star Wars as well as more traditional designs.

I forgot, I got free Percy pigs with my sparks card too! Definitely worth checking.

How large a bag are we talking? Here’s a 1kg bag www.amazon.co.uk/Ms-Peanut-Party-Bag-1kg/dp/B00DGL2GC0?tag=mumsnetforu03-21

ClaraLane that is large and would work - thank you

Home bargains don't the kilo of m&ms for £4.49 we got one on Monday 🤦‍♀️🤣

I meant do instead of don't!

new thread

That's not a bad price for 1kg M&Ms. Home Bargains sells them for £4.99, give or take.

I've just bought some personalised Xmas pet decorations for grandparents, they're BOGOF. With postage it was £8.15 for 2, which isn't ridiculously cheap but I didn't think was bad for 2 personalised little stocking fillers. My dog mad Mum will love hers.

They were from The Crafty Giraffe. I ordered some different ones for my 2 boys last year on the same offer but personalised wooden bauble shapes and they came with no issues.

Merry

Christmas
