@bebesidethesea it was me who mentioned train Lego I had to have mine ordered to store and pay on order which I did it's ready for me to collect now

Amazon have got some bargain 6ft and 10ft lightning charging cables Link
There was a thread recently about little things that improve your quality of life and long charging cables was mentioned a number of times. No more having to sit in an uncomfortable position two feet from a plug because your phone is low on charge. I think these would make great stocking fillers.

Thanks@mashpot for the picturehouse membership tip - just renewed my membership, great value!!

I have bought everything for everybody and probably more than I needed, yet have left books till now. I know what to get grown ups but need ideas for interesting, stimulating reads for 14 yo girls. Can anyone recommend any titles?

How about the hunger games or divergent trilogies? Or go classic with Neville Shute and 'a town like Alice' (loves that as a teen and still do) @Jacopone

@lifelongfrugaleer here they are. Some are showing at £2.50 online...

Coconut Cleanser

Pink Grapefruit Cleanser

Rose Moisturiser

Aloe Vera Jelly Moisturiser

@imip thanks for that! I knew I remembered something.

I won't use this if anyone else wants it

@UnderTheSleepingBaby yes, it does that for me, but when I actually try to select one of those stores, it then comes up as not available to that store.

I am v pleased that it wasn’t a con by Argos and someone got a bargain Lego train @eastmidswarwicknightnanny

TheSea everyone needs a whack-a-mole

@Jfw82 - thank you, I’ll check those.

Ds has some £20 earbuds from Menkind. They are white, look like iPhone ones to me (but on is obviously aren't!)

@BeBesideTheSea my friend got John Lewis to price match the argos price on the train was having same issues as you with argos

For anyone looking for some nice aftershave, Amazon have Abercrombie and Fitch First Instinct for men big 100ml bottle on offer for a bargainous £27 reduced from £63. Its a lovely scent.

Thankyou for the lightening cable link @pongopig. I already have one of these and they are great so I went on to order a couple more for stocking fillers, seen its an add on item so was looking for something else to buy so I could get the cable. Came across the aftershave and was so pleased I did. So you have got me a few bargains there with your post.

@onedayatatime73 I ordered mine in the 27th Nov and received dispatch email on the 29th, so I cancelled then as next payment due tomorrow. I think given the timing, others have cancelled straight away and still received their dispatch email.

@Purpletigers have you got friends or family who would get them for you and then send to you on receipt?

John Lewis wouldn’t price match Lego from the Lego store as it had gone out of stock when they checked. I showed them a screenshot that said stock was avaiable in the Brighton store but they wouldn’t have it.

Luckily another poster gave me the heads up about stocks of the product in Fenwicks online. Six quid cheaper than the Lego store too! So very grateful to that person.
Mega pissed off with John Lewis though. Won’t trust them again.

So my Amazon LOL order arrived and as luck would have DD fell asleep about 15 minutes beforehand. Being sick had its advantages today. The box had no outer packaging and had some damage but tbh it will be ripped open on Xmas morning so I can't get too worked up about it esp for the price I paid. Had I paid full price though I would be less than thrilled.
