Thanks @allatonce99 for thread title

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

If any link doesn’t work or you want to add something please let me know by @ing me

They might honour the orders. But googling doesn't bring up that page, nor searching on their website, so I'm not sure it's a live offer? The summer gin set like that was £35. You'll have to keep fingers crossed

@icedaisy I never thought of the Scotland thing either, I’m in Scotland too. Maybe they can get around it because it’s a hamper gift rather than like a 3 for £10 on wine for example 🙈

Not bargainous but I’ve just seen some lovely Christmas planners on the RNLI website if anyone is after one planner

It was just on the actual Gin itself it didn't look like a special offer, it was a bit random to me too but hopefully they honour it

If you search hampers on the m and s site the gin hampers are the last two items (unfortunately still oos but still showing as £18).

@aimslou

Can anybody give me suggestions of where I can get the old fashioned large pear drops from? Also if anybody knows if smyths are doing any offers? Thanks

Iceland does the pear drops and loads of other old fashioned sweets

Very have said they will have stocks of PS5's for pre-order tomorrow for those in the market for one

You'll be anxiously awaiting the gin hampers, actually, after last year maybe calls them something else

Scotland minimum pricing is 50p/unit isn’t it?

70cl at 20% = 14 units (70x20/100)

So minimum price £7.

Prosecco is about 8/9 units so say £4.50 theres fore it’s well within legal pricing.

This isn't really the right thread, but whilst browsing I see M&S do a luxury hamper for £999

For a thousand pounds I'd want golden percy pigs!!

Here’s the picture of the £18 gin hamper!! I’ve emailed them to complain that I paid £18 just for the gin. I’ve asked if they’ll honour the offer

Golden Percy pigs, you say? Now that would have my attention!

@Ibelieveinyou

Someone posted this last year and it seems that they have a similar deal this year jewel unique SILVER75 takes 80% off and you get free infinity stud earrings.

Thanks for this!!

[quote nocutsnobuttsnococonuts]@wtfdidwedo I got my daughter some press button lights from primark. They were £2.50 for 2, are battery operated and v bright! Also got fairy lights from there for £3ish. Little heart ones with red bulbs. Hers are also under a mid sleeper, gives lots of light to play! [/quote]
Excellent thanks! We did have fairy lights from there once upon a time, I'd forgotten about those.

@JinglesWish who did you email? I can't find any contact address

@WisestIsShe somewhere like currys is probably your best bet

@UselessInDisguise via their Facebook page

I think they’ll say it was an online special, but worth a try

Thank you for the strip light info @Wtfdidwedo

Thanks @SalmonEile and @Carrie76 I'll have a look tonight.

@WisestIsShe www.compub.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjtKc16OC7AIVT83tCh17qwSQEAAYASAAEgK_8vD_BwE is an apple reseller with a store in Dundrum Town Centre. Might be an easy one for her to get to if there’s any issues with it. They’re really friendly to dinosaurs like myself.

Harvey Norman is another one to try. They have stores in Rathfarnham, Tallaght, Carrickmines, Swords, Blanchardstown, so again handy enough to get to if there’s issues.

Obviously she/you could probably sort any problems online too.

Thanks for the rug tips, sass and belle looks lush but not bargainous, caved and spent £25 on a cute flower rug

Thanks for that one from wayfair, loved the glow in the dark but have come unstuck with wayfair before! Eagerly awaiting spare Matalan codes- could do with money off if you spend £50 or £75 if anyone has any they won’t use

I got my gin
There was plenty in my local m&s of both varieties.

I asked M&S on Messenger whether the difference in the two gin descriptions was a typo, and they've confirmed it was. So they're both the same, other than the flavour of nuts, I think?

I ordered the gin online but does it look like it was an error? I haven't received any further correspondence from m and s yet!!
