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

How much were the candles that you've all bought please?

Bicyclemadefortwo those are exactly what I'm after! You're a genius! Thank you soooooo much.

@Puffalicious Happy to help 🎅🏻

@PinkDaydreams they were between 3 and 4 pounds when the offer was first shared here.

I think orignally the candles started at £3. I bought one for £4 odds and one for £5 odds. They arrived today and are fantastic for the price. So I ordered another one for £5 odds for a gift for MIL

Thank you to the poster that mentioned kids stuff for less. Stocking fillers a plenty and a few little bits for Halloween at home seeing as we wont be trick or treating this year.

@mrsdavegrohl I did the same, bought and then went back and bought more.
Have just had 3 separate messages saying I have 3 Amazon deliveries tomorrow, the postman is going to think I'm crazy, esp when he has to come back later in the week with the other stuff I ordered too

@Puffalicious

I was going to post those ones too, they look fab!

[quote BicycleMadeForTwo]@Puffalicious Amazon have some that might work? There’s a bit of a wait on delivery on these ones if you’re in no rush[/quote]
I bought these last year. They aren't very big but did make wrapping soaps a lot easier!

Speaking of soaps, I've had an email from DrBotanicals. They have an 80% sale if you are subscribed with them. Not managed to find any super deals like last year but I'm going to have a better look after DC go to bed

Thanks @Puffalicious Just placed my Smiggle order!

Debenhams ‘Spectacular’ sale starting online tomorrow, in store Wednesday

This big sister, little sister doll set seems a steal for £5 at the entertainer. Blondes and brunette available

doll set

Did Amazon do prime day last year? Wondering what to expect.

Another one super happy with the candles, I’m very impressed with them! Bigger than I realised and quite fancy looking. I actually got 2 of each because I’m a candle nerd! Only one is for me though! The others are for teachers, childminder and for in mums hamper.

Penhalligons have a phenomenal sale just now. Saved over £100 on a bottle of perfume!!

What's that Smell for £3. Not sure if it's rubbish but an excellent reduction at The Entertainer.

Also could work as a DIY smell test for COVID.

Should add I meant two of each of the bargain ones, not the £15 one!

Another thanks for the Hermione doll

Dd wishes books where you have to find things in the books. She borrowed one from the school library but it's in swedish and 10 years old any idea if those books are still made and what they could be called?

The only deals that seem worth it on Prime day are their own products, so kindles, echo dots, firesticks etc. Never had any decent bargains otherwise!

@Luxplus They are generally called ‘Search and Find’ books and there’s loads of them for various different ages and interests. Lots on Amazon if you put in that search.

@Luxplus do you mean like where’s Wally? There are loads of those now

@Lazysundayafternoons I got Hogwarts Express Lego for a bargain price around Prime Day last year. I think it’s worth adding the things you like to your basket under “save for later”, so you see any price changes clearly. Camel Camel notifications come through quite slowly ime

Asda have 25% off wine when you buy 6 bottles, and two for £7 on round tubs of choc (celebrations, quality st etc). I've started my xmas food cupboard now!

@PinkDaydreams another vote for the slyvanians supermarket here its great, as is the tree house school. I'd go for those over the houses as starter bits
