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

For more links etc see message 2

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

Sorry that didn't quite come out like it should. Link still works though.

@Ivebeengood, thank you. I'll have a think about it before I leap in. Maybe it is too much of a good thing.

I got this candle as it was only £4.16 and the penguins were also cute so I bought two of those

The cinnamon buns are back down in price!

I GOT THE BUNS!!!
I also got fork handles 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯

Thanks for the Tokyo laundry share that bundle looks great value for ds. Anyone have a suggestion for anything similar for teenage dd? Looked at the Tokyo laundry women's but nothing in stock in medium.

@CoffeeAndEnnui no worries. We opened it last night as had a movie night. It was fun with the snacks.

I just went back and bought an extra 3 candles for the teachers/ta. I didnt know if they would want/ take gifts this year with covid, but even if they dont I'll give them to the cleaner, hairdressers and me

Missed the buns again!

@Puffalicious your wrapping last year sounds lovely. Please can you share best place to buy the brown paper and ribbons? Thanks 😊

I have codes for £10 off £50 and £15 off £75 at Matalan if anyone would like them. Valid until 7th Oct

@WhereTheresAHill could I have the £10 off code please?

@OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack can you please relink to the horse rider ear muffs?

Got 4 candles for sil and me

Saw on another site that the Tesco toy sale starts tomorrow so might be worth a trip

MYLEGO15 for over £75 and MYLEGO20 for over £200 at JL

@unkindnessofravens have pm’d it to you 😊

My thanks to all those who gave tips re Lego/ great hall for John Lewis & German amazon. Remembered I’ve got a JL gift card too to use so going to order from there rather than wait for black Fri 👍

I can't get the John Lewis Lego code to work! Any suggestions? I added the Minecraft creeper set and something else to bring it above £85 but it still says invalid. Is it account specific?

@WhereTheresAHill thanks so much

Thanks for the JL LEGO tip. My son wants the mario lego, so I spent £200 to get 20% off. Some of the lego is already price matched to argos so with an extra 20 off so got some bargains. I have finished shopping for my son and nephews now. I also got a £5 voucher for my next shop for spending over £50, so worth checking your account section for rewards.

@LostMyRubySlippers Are you signed in to your JL account? Sometimes I think they are account specific. There was a home discount a little while ago that wouldn't work on my account.

@WisestIsShe Does it have to be at least £85 worth of Lego? You could add some Lego mini figures to take it over the amount and check the code works

Zavvi have 15% off HarryPotter Lego.

Thank you @sohypnotic

And other Lego sets too!
