Close double square brackets

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

@22Giraffes I know how you feel. I brought my mum a card purse from accessorize, I know I did. It's yellow. I put it in the back bedroom. But can I find it 🙄

@covidmonkey me too. DD wants the Minecraft Lego creeper set. Which set are you looking for?

Anyone thinking of ordering from Matalan I'd hold fire. I've received a snailmail catalogue from them with the usual 5 off 25, 10 off 50 and 15 off 75 on the back valid from 24th Sep to 7th Oct. I'm assuming the e-mail version will follow overnight. Obviously I'll post the codes I don't need here once I've placed my order. [Some lovely stuff in their Christmas shop].

Thank you to all the suggestions re a basketball hoop, I've found one on Wayfair! Does anyone know if they do a referral scheme?

@WisestIsShe He likes the illagar raid set.

They do @Fuckingfuckssake. I just set up accounts with two different email addresses to use it 😬

@Spam88

They do *@Fuckingfuckssake*. I just set up accounts with two different email addresses to use it 😬

I can't find anything online about how to do it? Can you refer me? Either pop a link on the referral thread or pm me, thank you.

Sparkle play doh is back down to £4.99 on Amazon. I bought a set a few weeks ago and am really pleased with it for DD.

Cinnamon buns back to £3.08 yummy buns

I got 2 lego sets ticked off Christmas lists today from argos. Some brilliant prices.

@PinkDaydreams i love those crates. We do a december box rather than an xmas eve box too. I like to have our xmas pjs for all of december.

Cinnamon buns are the new puppets!!!

The latest resident of my house is a large cuddly dinosaur from Dunelm! It was £10, but I would've expected to pay at least double that for a toy of its size (it's bigger than my 11 month DTs!) Banana in the photos to show scale.

I need to find a baby for our dollhouse

dd reminded me of some rash promises I may have made under the influence of bargain Bailey’s last year so I don’t think it’s unreasonable to hold you lot partly responsible!

It needs to a fairly realistic 1:12 baby as it’s a Victorian style house, not the chunky wooden kind. My eyes are just watering at the costs.

Does anyone know of any remotely reasonably priced teeny babies?

@UselessInDisguise

Cinnamon buns back to £3.08 ]]

This is going to be the new puppets...back up in price now 😂

Cinnmaon buns out of stock again. It's going to be the 'puppet' of this thread...

Cross post Mumto3!

Sorry 😬

If it helps I didn't get the puppets 😂

Hi everyone I'm new to Christmas threads, so delighted to find this one. I have 3 DS all boys teen-age 8 so great to find bargains. I've already gone a bit mad on toysforapound for my classroom prizes. Brilliant- will be sharing with everyone. Thanks.

I'm off to Argos for Lego. I 💜this thread!

I also had the Matalan vouchers through, I normally end up getting the ones for the person who lived in the house previously too! But I think they have to be used with your card.

16" Squishmallows are £9 in Costco for those who are members.

Wow just found you guys and already on thread 7!
It's DS2s birthday next week then I really need to get my act together. Normally much more organised than this. Anyway quick hi and then I'm off to catch up on all your posts before I repeat something that's already been mentioned.
Gutted that Smyths aren't doing their deal this year and I need another switch so any deals send my way please!!

If anyone is interested in Arran (Sense of Scotland) bath stuff etc:
I wanted the advent calendar which is £50.
If you spend £50 there is a free full sized hand cream which is usually £15.
There's also 20% off for new customers with NEWCUSTOMER20.
Now, initially it didn't take the discount off. It told me it wasn't valid. I guessed because I had an advent calendar and often they aren't discounted.
But, I added 2 X £10 discovery sets for stocking fillers and extras thinking maybe the code would work. And it took the 20% off everything at that point. So for £56 I have about £180 worth of stuff.

And it's lovely stuff.

@mummyof2boys30 we have the out for lunch Flasks and they’re brilliant
