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

@MsMiaWallace hotel chocolat is lovely but be careful, their products sometimes have very short shelf life. If you were to buy now they may not be good for Xmas. Worth checking in with them about that before ordering

The Gin globe is supposedly only available instore

Caved and got the gin too and I don’t drink it! Perhaps I will over Xmas! 😂

Thank you for the gin recommendation. I too have ordered the clementine one. Hoping it is the same size gin and Prosecco as the rhubarb one even though size not stated - must just be an error?

The link for the gin shows it's a preview so I wonder if they didn't intend for the offer to go live when it did

You can pay with PayPal for added protection though

@TheGirlWhoLived

Looking for a bargain rug if anyone happens upon one. Small and girly is the order of the day but I can’t find a good bargain!

Don't know if it's quite what you're after but Sass & Belle always have lovely cutesy mats.

Saw the lavazza milk frother mentioned on another thread but couldn’t justify the cost. Asda George have just brought one out it’s £20 and it’s fab!

"I've just bought three lots of the gin (because then no delivery charge!)"

@Restlessinthenorth how did you manage that? It's £100 minimum for alcohol. I ordered 3 and still charged for delivery

got the gin just need to get the cinnamon buns now. had the same kit before and it is both easy and tasty

@dollypartonscoat across my screen it said free deliver in hampers over £50. The gin sets were in the hampers section so I rang up and they promptly refunded the delivery fee! Someone else did the same, further down thread

and ASOS have 20%off everything between 7pm and 9pm with code BEQUICK20

Rhubarb gin oos. Good work everyone!

Rhubarb gin is now out of stock online

I can’t get the gin link to work- could someone repost it pretty please? I neeeeed them

Aww I must have just missed the rhubarb!

But thanks for the heads up, I've ordered two lots of the Clementine, and I'm planning to use both as gifts if my willpower holds out!

Oh thanks. I'll message them for a refund

Just popped in to Home Bargains and they had really nice (quite large) Christmas tree shaped wooden cheese boards. I’ve just got those personalised ones from love Lottie so didn’t get one (which were smaller than I expected - will I ever check measurements?)
6.99 each. Make a nice cheeseboard gift with all this cheese you’ve all been getting.

Caved on the gin too, thanks! I already have a bottle of Clementine so I'll gift that and keep what is effectively a free bottle of fancy prosecco and the nuts to add to the Christmas food and drink stash.

@CactusForever I believe the website for fossils was UKGE

Dammit gin oos wanted it for sil

Does anyone know what size that gin & Prosecco bottles are in the gift set with nuts etc on the M&S site?

Rhubarb out of stock for me and then when I add clementine also out of stock, but doesn't show that till I add.

@MsMiaWallace it said 70cl gin and 75cl prosecco

I've got 35% off cox & cox voucher - one time use if a anyone wants it, please PM for code

Must learn not to procrastinate, missed out on the gin!
