I took delivery of my Accessorise Swarovski stacking rings today & they are fab! They are a perfect fit & only cost £12. Ideal for Christmas parties etc 🙂

@CigarsofthePharoahs how does it work? Confused

They're on Amazon with some pictures that show how it works.

Thanks.

A Lidl Miomare shower head for 4.99. I had rock bottom expectations at that price but although the water jet isn't that strong it's OK and does the job. Which is pretty fab for just under a fiver.

Just bought a refurbished Lenovo laptop from Amazon. Can't believe how happy I am with it! Far exceeded expectations, no cosmetic damage at all, ultra fast, huge memory. Literally, just like new. Very little bloatware on it and it was fully up and running in an hour or so after the inevitable windows updates. Seriously, I'm thinking of buying another!!

this shampoo from Lidl! OMG. It's the best ever. Hair smells like salon-scented fancy stuff and no KNOTS, not one. Brilliant.

Thanks for the thread, I've just bought the bobble remover thingy.

My suggestion is Sainsbury's skinny jeans -they were much better than I expected for the price.

This clothes airer from amazon. I’ve had it a few weeks but it’s fab!! I can fit nearly 2 loads from my 10kg machine, can wheel it in and out of the utility room, can hang hoodies and jackets on hangers at the side and everything dries so quickly.
I feel like I’m getting old being so excited about this, but I do love it Blush

Another delirious Instant Potter.

And another thank you @Grandadwasthatyou - my bargainous soup maker is on its way!

@kazzyhoward please can you link the laptop? Been looking at laptops online and haven't the faintest clue where to start

Shelvesoutofbooks · 08/11/2018 15:44

@kazzy I also had a refurbished lenovo laptop from amazon... it was perfect until it suddenly died and I couldn't turn it back on. Then had to wait 2 months to get it back after sending it to lenovo under warranty. Then a month later it died again. I gave up. Hope your ends up better Grin

Didn't actually buy this but just moved into a new house which has a recylce bin under the kitchen sink. Amazing!

IToldYouIWasFreaky · 08/11/2018 16:28

Not sure if this counts as I technically didn't buy it...I got a little free set of Vitamin E stuff from Superdrug as a gift with purchase.
It had a bottle of the oatmeal face scrub in and I love it! It's really creamy and gentle, smells gorgeous and leaves my face noticeably softer. I'm definitely going to be buying a full sized bottle when this runs out.

A road bike. I retired 4 years ago and bought a hybrid bike to keep myself fit. After 4 years of cycling around the local country lanes I noticed that other cyclists on road bikes were apparently finding it easier and streaking past me. After mulling it over for a few months I took the plunge last week and now wish I’d originally bought a road bike. It’s so much less effort and my interest in cycling has been reignited 🚴‍♂️

Please will either of you post a link to the Bluetooth speakers from Amazon?
