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 got our switch last year as a free gift with a mobile phone contract a PS4 the year before when my dh upgraded. If you're due an upgrade anyway and you're not too bothered about having the newest phone it's worth doing.

@MsMiaWallace

Does anyone know of where I can get a decent cheap hamper from? Anyone tried Aldi hampers?

My parents get me one every year and I've always been impressed.

@Fuckingfuckssake I've pm'd you a 15% off code for UO.

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.

I've used the Yorkshire soap company for a few gifts before, always been very happy with anything I've bought from there.

My Uno Flip arrived too; same as other posters, badly squished box, thin tatty cards. Hurrah!

I bought a Thistle and Black Pepper Shampoo bar in a very smart tin from Scottish Fine Soaps for ds stocking. The scent is absolutely gorgeous and thr packaging really nice.

Thank you for the LEGO friends find.
Any ideas where the best place to buy a Rubik’s 4x4 and pyramid are?

Thank you for the onesie suggestions, got the men’s medium from the NH website.

@torthecatlady

I'm looking for one of those pore sucker things, if anyone has any recommendations or sees a bargain? Not very Christmassy

@torthecatlady

A friend and I bought this one a few weeks back and are both impressed with it.

@CompleteBarstool have you tried ethical superstore? They sell shampoo bars and also have a lot of other zero waste/green stuff

itwasntme oooooh now that's a point. Both myself and DH are due upgrades soon. Defo one for checking out.

I’m on night shift- and have just bought half price Lego, smellies from Arran and some half price jewellery!!! 😂😂😂

Well I might have missed out on the puppets but at least I got the cinnamon buns 😂

Back down at the mo for anyone else after them

Flash sale from lottie dolls
Please see pic.

The Friendly Soap company has an excellent solid conditioner bar
Their shampoo bare are cheap, but not suitable for use in hard water areas.

Gruum shampoo bars are the best I've tried, and often have a offer to try a bar for the cost of P&P, or a no waste gift set of several bars for about £11.

Holland and Barrett have some no waste gift sets in their toiletries section, which include a body butter too (little heart shapes, can't remember the name!)

Fab price on the hape castle escape wooden marble run.

@mummyof2boys30 the thermos food flask is good and robust. We have 2 as the first was so good. They survive preteens at the stables

There's some great deals on 11degrees. Loads in the sale plus an extra 25% off with code extra25

I got a waterproof raincoat, shorts and s tee for under £45 delivered

@Rosie2000

Try Kewbz uk, dd who is a cuber gets all her stuff from there. They often have sales on and also do second hand cubes. She’s bought a few of these and they are always in excellent condition.

Does anyone have any recommendations for baking subscriptions for children? My DM wants to get one for my toddler DS- I’ll help so doesn’t matter if it’s not aimed at that particular age.

Harry potter lego on amazon has dropped a bit including privet drive.

I’ve used three Ethique solid shampoo bars and other products from Holland and Barrett - they are really nice. H&B also have 20% off every at the moment too!

Dd wants the luvabella mealtime baby, anywhere I can find it at a more reasonable price?

Has anyone used a felt Christmas tree?
My DS will be around 18months by Christmas and was just wondering if it would be any good for him to have as his own tree to play with (hopefully rather than the real one 🤞🏻)

Don't forget 25% off F&F starts today, I've just been to grab a few gifts
