If anyone has Pixi 4's to get rid of, Grainger Games are giving £25 cash.
Cex is bad for multiples now, saying they have to email head office if more than one in case they mark price down for a 'bulk sale'.
Game said the phone was not on their system so couldn't take it, and Cash converters only offered £16 cash.

Thanks - sadly nearest to us is 111 miles

I did one for a £26 store credit in CEX last night but they said they would need to get a bulk price if I wanted to do all 3 so I will do the other 2 one at a time in different stores - hopefully still 18 cash for the others as there isn't anything else I want from cex.

Was looking for a linx 12.5 for my DDs birthday but struggling to buy as I didn't get it from microsoft store when it was 149 with student discount and amex rewards so paying more now seems annoying. Have lots of argos vouchers so thought that might be an option - was amazed to find they charge £299 when the going rate on most retailers is £199 - are there really mugs who would pay £100 extra rather than shop around?!

Funnily Jan was the first month in probably 6 when I did have a drink, DW and I decided we should try one of our collection of Happy Downs ?(half each and we didn't drink it all) - I know they are free but no idea what we can do with them - they are hardly suitable for gifting - foodbank?!

Regarding dry January my OH will be 10 years dry next week. He has just returned from a weeks skiing in Switzerland and even managed a two day skiing trip where him and his mate slept out on the snow overnight. Alcohol is ok if you can manage it properly.
My sis and her oh did meat free Jan and they are on holiday in Switzerland so he had Parma Ham for breakfast

Yip I'm not a big drinker anyway. But the last year or so I haven't really been able to tolerate alcohol
