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

Thanks @PinkDaydreams the apple ones are pretty elusive. None in the shops round here

Anyone know of any Dr. Who? stocking fillers? I was hoping there would be some on FanGrrl but I don't think so.

Tesco toy sale on now apparently! The Harry Potter lego Knight bus is £23. I think there's quite a lot upto half price but didn't see loads online x

I have ordered 3 fake Oodies, just look and they are coming from China late October. I might cancel and get the real ones. I’m worried they will be really cheap and nasty!*

I'm worried now since I ordered 10! Can you cancel? I didn't know that.

Anyone know anything about superzings? They look a bit rubbish to me but DS has seen them advertised on tv and wants them!

Lots of both flavours of gin in M and S Whiteley this morning

Truffle Shuffle have some Dr Who bits @margaritabythesea not bargains though. I used them for the first time last night so hopefully they are a reliable company. Time will tell!

My super cheap £1 daisy jumper from eBay has been cancelled. Apparently lost by the Post Office but I’m assuming it was just a listing error so not majorly surprised

@BicycleMadeForTwo Mine too! Thought that might happen but was worth a try.

Thanks @PowerslidePanda , I have 2 one year old boys to by for an am finding it difficult aswell. Have got them a couple of toys so just going to add on books now, so that set will be ideal.

Does anyone have an offer discount code or student discount code that I could use for Paperchase please? Thank you.

Also worth looking in smartfonestore for pre owned phones. We've had a few from there and they have been spot on. No problems. They also often have an offer on where you can pay over 3 months.

@DaisyChops big fan of Superzings here. DS6 has been collecting them for 3 years now, he plays with them every day in some form or other.
Some of the vehicles can be a bit hit/miss in terms of quality in the newer series though which is a shame - but the playsets have all been of really good quality.

Thanks for the Dr Who suggestion ScoobySnacker

Hi all, I wanted to let you know that for the past year whenever I've ordered something off amazon I've written a review, sometimes you will get money put on your amazon account for them, I've probably had about £30 worth ( I order a lot off there).

Also for tech I love music magpie, their returns are really easy and quick, great warranties and the products are in really good quality. Also you can pay with Klarna which all helps. They usually have good deals too like £10/20 off certain items.

Further to my rant about Country Living above I've just had an email saying that the original order HAS gone through at £30 for 2 subscriptions.

Secretly pleased as I wanted to treat DSis who has been a star this year

Thanks @tiddledpink I was looking at the trucks so that's handy to know! I also saw some bikes on the entertainer not out yet.
It's good to find a new toy range as he has older siblings and we have lots of the usual toys handed down and these are new!

PinkJam there was a paperchase code further back on the thread.

Check your eBay accounts everyone! I've just gone on and it's flashed up that I have a £10 voucher to use, no minimum spend. Very pleased and have promptly spent it!!

Another ebay one

Thank you @PowerslidePanda that’s two Gruffalo sets for dh’s great grandsons. They are getting the puppets for their birthdays!

I said I wasn’t going to order anything this week, argh!

Oh no I forgot about that 20% off eBay as well!

This code gives 20% off Paperchase AFOCTVC20 @PinkJam.
