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

@Penguinbeaver I made a note last year that Neom offered a free candle on Black Friday with a £35 spend. I didn’t order it so cant say if it was nice. I think I got a free Jo Malone one on the game last year which wasn’t that great a deal.

@weebarra I hope they are too!

Don’t know if anyone’s posted this yet, but as there’s been talk of board games at bargain max 20OFFGAMES gives you 20% off their games/board games. I love bargainmax as its free postage

Does anyone remember if there was a Black Friday deal for the Neom Wellbeing Pod last year by any chance? Gutted I didn't order it last month when there was a good offer.

@SRgrey I got a similar body warmer for dh last year, which he loves and wears a lot. Can I suggest not wearing it through airport security though 😂

Thanks for the vampires wife tip off, so excited!

@Jacopone

Re games - I recommend Rummikub especially from Jacques of London, arrives beautifully packaged and is not expensive.

This might be a daft question but is the Jaques of London Rummy set the same as Rummikub

@recklessgran - there are a few Big Potato games that I'd recommend: Colour Brain (or Junior Colour Brain, depending on age - all ages can play as there's always the option to guess!), P for Pizza, What Came First?

All good options and ones we've played with mixed ages. They could all be played by adults only too, they're not just kids games.

I'm also fairly confident Big Potato are a small/medium business storefront, and so qualify for Amazon's Prime Day bonus (I got mine for buying Colour Brain Junior for £10).

I swear I don't work for them (Big Potato), we've just really enjoyed their games over the whole age range (6yrs - 70yrs).

Just looked at the vampires wife collection in cosmopolitan and I'm a tad disappointed. I was hoping for some bold print, it is all very gothic. And the jewellery looks cheap. I'll still check it out in store to see what the quality is like. These are the only 2 items I'd consider from the range.

Gothic, in regards tot he vampires wife drop, is very me so im in love with whats on offer, just hope it will fit me!!

I was tempted to order the colourbrain junior game in order to get the £10 credit but it doesn't have the promotional offer box on the page the way the other Big potato games do. Has anyone ordered this and got the credit?

Sorry rockhopper81, I've just seen your post. I might give it a go then, thank you.

@4Minions2CallMyOwn if you drive take a look and see if there are any Xmas drive ins. Here there's a pants and lots of different movies and also a drive through Santa visit.

Ffs a PANTO

Can anyone help me work out which items ( small businesses) which qualify for £10 back ? Thanks

Do Jacques of London quality?

• Qualify

Thanks for the switch recommendations. DS only has Mario Kart so far and he's already addicted!

@maudhatter I found if I typed in handmade into amazon search, most things were small businesses.

Ted baker website have 30% off with code TEDS30
Just got my dd some earrings that were full price on asos!

@MaudHatter - if you go to Amazon home page you can click on the promotion to search
But any eligible seller will have this under the add to basket option, this is from jacques of London, so yes, they do qualify.

stocking filler

Giant bubbles, £2.49

kukubird leggings buy 2 save 50%

On amazon, seems to be all styles and would give you the £10 credit for prime day.
