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

Was going to say Holland and Barratt- got our last one there. A local company too which is excellent. Also I got a great shampoo and bar soap set in M&S last year for around £9 but they were in the 3for2; one tin included, pure white packaging with all the diffusers etc. Went down a storm with teachers!

@CompleteBarstool lush have really good shampoo bars, average £8ish each but last a really long time. I have very thick long hair, have used mine (soak and float) at least 10 times and still have over 3/4 left. You can get silver tins from lush to store them in as well for £2.50.

Thanks Shandlers looking at Very and bundles.

I'm a big fan of kinkind shampoo and conditioner bars. 10% of first order. £12 for shampoo and conditioner. Unlike some you can switch between them and liquid without any hassle.

I too bought a lovely set from Holland and Barrett last year (present to myself) but have lost half of it?! No idea where its gone which I'm very sad about as I remember it having a nice tangerine body lotion.

I got Gruum shampoo and conditioner bars last year. Shampoo bar was good but conditioner didn't work at all.

Do any of you have any recommendations for wired earphones? They're for dd2 for Minecrafting with her school friends so would like them with the speaker bit on them too.

She's got mine that came with my S9 atm, turns out on googling them, they're actually quite £££ to buy so I'd like to get her something else. We've tried cheap cheap ones, and ones around a tenner but they tend to break quickly. & I don't really want to fork out a fortune but would like mine back at some point.

I wondered if £30 ish might get some decent ones for her that'll last as well as mine.

I don't even know if this is allowed so feel free to delete but I've ended up with 2 switch lites if anyone would like one?

Dh had gruum shampoo bars and has said they were really good. Didn’t get conditioner ones though. I’ve tried conditioner bars from lush but found them time consuming

I use the Yorkshire Soap Company for shampoo and conditioner bars. They're really good. Not really a bargain unless you live near a shop though. Think they're about £5 each.

PMd you just

@Raindancer411 thanks for your suggestions. Your photos weren’t showing for me earlier hence my rather odd comment. Really appreciate the suggestions, thank you!

Lego 42108 Crane, I just got a ccc alert it has gone £6 below lowest ever price so it is currently £60 on amazon, it is £79.99 in smyths, even better saving if you are in Ireland as it works out at about €65 but its €99.99 sorry cant do links

sorry that was meant to say €99.99 in smyths in Ireland.

@CompleteBarstool I use the Gruum shampoo and conditioner bars which I really like. You can get tins for them. Not particularly cheap but last ages. I have a referral code which would give you £5 off. It has my full name in it so I won’t put it on the referral thread but PM me if you would like it.

@beccarooney custom gifts had the naked marshmallow advent calendar for £10 briefly in November but they aren’t stocking it at all this year. I’m sure there was an offer earlier than that but I don’t know who or when or if it was the advent calendar or the other sets. (That wasn’t much help )

Has anyone seen any more info on the PlayStation 5?
Turns out I do need one and OOS every where 🤦‍♀️
I know more are coming but no idea where or when?..

Bargainmax have an extra 10% off of Thomas and friends with code THOMAS10

Thank you for the shampoo bar suggestions. I'll have a proper look at them tomorrow

Could anyone tell me the 10% off code for Urban Outfitters? Assuming it's generic, I've signed up for the newsletter but nothing has arrived and I've got a basket full of stuff I'm waiting to check out. Thank you.

Puffalicious I've sent you a reply

@thelegohooverer no problems :)

Who was looking for space/ NASA stuff?
HEMA have a fab new range but their search function is crap so you will need to search "space", "astronaut" and "planets" separately to pick up everything.
