Close double square brackets

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

@Sunshineskies oooh that is a lovely weighted blanket - bookmarked in case I manage to think of someone to buy it for

@Ewock

Sorry I know this has been asked before but my phone isn't playing tonight, with the JL lego offer is there a minimum spend? Thanks

The MYLEGO15 has min spend £85, MYLEGO20 is min spend £200

Thank you @CarrieMoonbeams. Off to shop!

Thanks so much on Victoria’s Secret
Got said teenager a set of lip glosses

@Sunshineskies

Try again link

I've just ordered one, been wanting one for ages but couldn't afford some of the prices.

Does anyone know how the Victoria secret stuff is packaged? Will it come in a box/nice bag/tissue paper?

@snowfairylover thankyou for the Oodie heads up. There have been offers previously but Ive been hanging out for better ones. I have decided to just go for it now as delivery isn't until December( they say they have lots of orders) so I thought I'd better get in now.

Hamleys have got 10% off site wide with the code MYSUMMER10

@Duckyneedsaclean

Two colours of fake oodies down to £10.85 now! Finally succumbed 😂

]]

That's it! I've given in and bought one for dd who will love it.

Oh bugger, I should have read the next page and saved another fiver😃
@Pumpkintopf we have both, the fake one is a lot thinner than the real one, massive difference but my youngest has been very happy with his cheapo one. He still said he would like an official one so I have got him one for Xmas.

@Sunshineskies thanks for the weighted blanket link

Thanks @Anydreamwilldo12

Caved and just ordered an Oldie and knickers!

Oodie!

🤣 @Reastie @Birdladybird ‘just ordered an Oldie and knickers’ has to be a thread title contender!

No, comes in a brown box with no tissue etc. Have never had anything different and I shop with them a lot.

Thanks @luckiestgirl I Think I’m going to wait it out and see if the patterned ones gets cheaper.

Rubyroo you're tempting me now!

Just seen an advert on Instagram for 6 issues of Country Living plus a Sophie Allport mug, the Country Living Christmas special magazine and their Christmas supplement for gift ideas for a cracking £15. I want it just for the mug! www.hearstmagazines.co.uk/country-living-magazine-subscription-social-media?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=HEAR_countryliving&utm_term=6204755577567

Thanks for the Molton Brown code, I’ve never tried their products before but it’s such a good deal I couldn’t stop myself!

Just a quick question on the fake oodies?....
There is a warning at the bottom of the page as a PP posted about buying them as they may not turn up and says should buy from a different seller..... but this other seller has just started up??
The PP who had a fake oodie arrive, which seller was it from as both are saying arrival date from the 17th October...
Would love a fake oodie just wondering what your experiences have been?

Thanks I now need to decide which lego to buy.
