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

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

For anyone looking for wicker hamper baskets, Home bargains tend to sell them with a red velvety lining. I bought one maybe 3/4 years ago and it’s still going strong

@vroc81 yes, they had the Percy money box out for sale. It’s a bright pink metallic one

Thank you @PhantomErik got the animal when that was £2 so very happy to get the second one.

Just got an email from Dunelm to say their Christmas range is now online 😃

Thanks for the Matalan cash back info! Have been waiting to order some gym leggings so will do it this evening

Just so you know and don't email TBC like I did the Matalan cashback initially tracks at 1% but they assure me it will be revised upwards when made payable!

Brilliant thanks I’ll head over to the big one and pick one up for DSis..

25% off at Holland and Barrett plus free delivery until Sunday with code HBMSE25. Apparently stacks with other offers.

This marble run is back down to £13.99 (thanks to a PP for origionally posting it) I missed it last time. You have to click on new used offers as it's not the first price that comes up and delivery is October!

This thread will be the death of my bank account! I am now the proud owner of the rubarb gin and a musical shortbread tin (for my boys)

Good crochet set down to under £6

@PhantomErik oh no I missed it! It went back up quickly. I'll have to look out for it incase it goes down again!

I'm now at the point I am returning items as I've bought too much already!!! And there are 99 days to go still 😂

Ugh it’s so frustrating that we can’t look at the M&S Christmas Gin online let alone order it! We are a marketeers dream FFS!

M&S get your online shop in order! It’s reasons like this why the future doesn’t look bright for you!!

Apologies for the unchristmassy rant

Thank you to whoever posted the urban bear hats- bought one for my hard to buy for dad. Bit gutted I don’t know anyone who would want a jazzy one with a bobble, I had to get him a boring grey one!

Keeping an eye out for good value dressing up clothes for a toddler- especially fairy, doctor and witch costumes.

You can look at the m&s Xmas fin online

https://www.marksandspencer.com/c/food-to-order/adventures-in-food/christmas-gin

It will also be available to order online via an Ocado order from early October. 104 stores sold out completely yesterday!

(One of my best friends works m&s looking after food events and this is part of her area- she came over tonight and brought me the clementine Xmas gin and a Percy Pig plush for my 2yo DD who is her goddaughter! )

Fin = gin obviously, have started it just yet!

Thanks @Jfw82

Obviously I didn’t look hard enough!

Something that lovely should be on their front page! Or at least on a Christmas drop down link front page

[quote HanPanPeg]**@Sunshineskies for your gran, Lush do a moisturiser / body lotion (?) called Sleep which people rave about. You put it on before you go to sleep and it helps relax you - predominantly lavender scented I think!

Ah found the link: uk.lush.com/products/body-lotions/sleepy?gclid=CjwKCAjw74b7BRA_EiwAF8yHFMkv6D4drhBsDlkAZt3V4VFrcHZawLnrsijwOmRT61Lh4L9PCxzruhoCHEYQAvD_BwE

Sleepy not sleep![/quote]
@Sunshineskies I've used Sleepy from Lush and it does smell beautiful and feels calming but is quite thick!

@CoffeeAndEnnui I've ordered that magazine for my DSs too - DS1 is a great reader so will plow through it but DS2 is more reluctant so hoping it will encourage him to read something. Plus 4 magazines for £1 between 2 of them might be the bargain of the year! 😁

@riotlady

I've ordered this doctor dress up for my niece for her birthday in November - she will be 3, but she's a little smaller than average for her age, so I know it's going to be big on her. I figure she'll get longer play value out of it this way!

I liked the fact it had scrubs, a white coat, hat and stethoscope - seemed like quite a lot for the price. I've not had it completely out to look at, but it seems like standard dress up quality, so I think it will be fine. Not overly bargainous, but not a bad price. I've changed the ID badge you get with it to be one with her name and photo, but that's mostly because I'm a geek who likes a good Photoshop project!

Thanks pp for the Adidas code, trainers bought for ds

I'm behind but just caught up - anyone who bought the cards against Disney from onbuy did you go for the red version or black version? Thanks!

Thanks @recklessgran for the h&b code. Got some savoury snacks to go with beer 52 order

@riotlady these are in home bargains at the moment
