Can someone kindly remind me how I find the trade in for a kindle on Amazon ? Thanks

Oops and meant to ask is there any massive difference between the Paperwhite or the Paperwhite Signature (apart from price) - am dithering (could u tell )

Hi all I'm looking for squishmallows / squishville sets for one of my nieces. Has anyone seen any on offer please? Thank you.

I got some chocolate!! Let's hope it arrives this time :)

I only went to pick the children up and suddenly everyone’s managed to get chocolate again 😩

Smyths and Amazon have 30cm squishmallows for £12.99 if that's any good? Seem to be £17 elsewhere after a quick look

So i'm a bit clueless when it comes to buying Tech. DH has just announced that he would like to listen to audiobooks. He doesn't want to use his phone because its a work one. What would be the best way for him to do this? it needs to be cheap because while we're not skint, we don't have a lot to spend. Would an echo dot do it?

Just seen this for Smyths store in Wrexham only, spend £15 in store and get £6 off, ends today though!!

@Confusedmeanderings Yes, but it needs to connect to a phone to use whatever you're listening to audiobooks... so still using his workphone? Unless you connect it to your phone or a tablet etc. The Echo Dot is just a speaker.

The code was just BIRTHDAY while logged in for £15 off

Don’t know if this has been mentioned but lots of different book advents on Aldi are £5 each, hey Duggee, Disney princesses, peppa pig etc

I swore I wouldn’t buy one this year but…

Bomb Cosmetics advent calendar down from £21 to £12

[Method Anti-Bac All Purpose Cleaner Wild Rhubarb, 828ml & Kitchen Cleaner, Clementine, 828 ml https://amzn.eu/d/gK90zGN Method Bundle]]

This is not strictly xmas but an amazing deal - 2 full size bottles of Method Cleaning spray for £2.66 the pair - additional 5% also applies if you order more than 4. I got mine today and they are the full size and you get two bottles. It is on order for 1-3 weeks now but still buyable

Chocolate go go go

Got the chocolate, that's the sweets for Hubbys stocking sorted

I just missed the Dairy Milk but got the £6.80 assorted Lindt 600g box.

@OxfordDog there's plenty of the seconds oodies on eBay

@Confusedmeanderings if you get a cheap smartphone then you can use your library app for free audiobooks or if he's sure he'll like them, the best audible subscription is an annual one where you get 24 credits at one go for about £110. I started maybe 6-7 years ago & love it.

I keep missing the chocolate 🍫 😭.
Hygge have 10 headbands for £30 including the kids ones

Trying not to sound like a crazy lady but if anyone happens to have a pair of these Matalan pj’s in an age 2-3 that they’d be willing to sell, please give me a shout😂 Trawling eBay & Vinted with no luck!

He needs a device to store the audiobooks on - e.g. a phone, a Kindle, a tablet like an iPad or his desktop/laptop computer.

Then to listen to them he can either listen direct from the device (e.g. earplugs in, connect to iPad; speakers from his tablet or laptop) or connect to a speaker like an Alexa.

So you need to know how & where he would like to listen to them.

Have a look at the ‘How to Listen’ page on Audible
