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

I have £10 off £60 and £5 off £30 if you want to PM me, @lexloofah.

Not strictly xmas related sorry but I've been back through the threads and can't find it. There was talk of waterproof coats when the Lands End offer was on.... what did people buy and are you pleased? Looking for something waterproof and super warm for walking the dog. Just tried my winter coat on and it seems to have shrunk since last year!!

@Brogues Thank you

Thanks for the contigo offers! Much appreciated!

Thanks wibdib those photo tiles on Wowcher are a massive bargain. Have bought the jewelry advent calendar for my mum as well, she'll love it so thanks also to whoever posted about that

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask but does anyone know of any Matalan codes please? Very tempted by some of their Christmas items but they’re not very bargainous at full price.

@foilflower - I have a 15% off over £20 spend code if you want to DM me? It's valid up to 30th of Sept - one time use one
I won't use it as nothing in DS1's size

Anyone seen any Onesies suitable for a size 13 boy (but age 9) I'd ideally like a red checked one like I missed out on from Matalan last year (I like to dwell on the things I missed out on getting )

Just doing a Sainsbury’s online order and spotted that they now have a ‘Christmas is coming’ section.
Mince pies and panettone already listed, Terry’s choc oranges at £1 each, assorted chips and booze, a few discounts scattered through. Also some perfumes, candles, frozen pigs in blankets and other Xmas food, toiletry gift sets, etc etc. And mince pies if you want to read these threadswith something seasonal to fit the mood! Also a few toys but guessing many more to come.

@torthecatlady. I’d forgotten about Wonderbly. Thank you for that. Does anyone have a referral code? I’m sure they were about last year!

I collect the Sylvanian families house- thank you to who posted it. Slime kit also arrived in one piece.

Any tips on buying from Lands End?

I ignore the chat every time but ventured on the website and there are a few bits that might do for DGran.

Anyone know if there be any other offers coming up? I've had a look on the referrals thread but can't see if they have ever done them.

Yes please Chocolateteabag, thank you very much! I have PMed you :)

I can refer you!! I'll pop a link over on the other thread, I think you get 40% off, although to be fair they're pretty much always offering 40% off in one way or another.

Not sure Lands End do referrals. I got an email today saying up to 70% sale now. I'm guessing they're winding the sale down ready for Christmas.

I have just spent £90 on the Range's decorations.

Oh! So they do!

@Rosie2000 You are welcome :) I looked and it's all out of stock but showing back to 69.99 now

KillZill the referral link has my full name it, if you'd like it then pm me.

My M&S had 6 bottles of rhubarb and plenty (25?) of clementine today. My Waitrose had a Christmas magazine, possibly Good Housekeeping? Or Woman and Home?

Thank you, I have sent a PM

Nice selection of Christmas books at The Works if anyone is looking to do a book advent calendar or pop them into a Christmas Eve box. 10 books for £10

Not a bargain but I’m feeling sorry for myself so Iv stuck on a Christmas movie! It’s not too early is it?!

@sepsisandAKI I have a wonderbly refer a friend code but it has my real name in it. Happy to send over pm. It gives £10 off

@Raindancer411 nice impressive big box too! Might be my best bargain this year

I have heard good things about Ticket to Ride for ages and think this year might be the one I finally buy it! Is the Europe version the one to go for?

@IDontDrinkTea yes please! I can’t decide on which to go for or see how much delivery costs...
Do you recommend a book? I quite like the look of Where are you? one
