    Tablets generally take a higher voltage charge than phones, perhaps the cable isn't adequate to deliver that higher level.
    Thanks. I didn't realise that, just assumed cable wires come in a single spec and the ports and perhaps lengths vary. Does that also explain why it says not to be used to charge from a computer?

    I love your posts, LouLou - but I have also long thought that much of what you share is plastic and a treat.

    I don't mind if plastic is used for something useful / functional that needs to be durable, but I've made a conscious effort not to buy plastic toys in particular. I think big companies need to wake up and realise that they can still promote their brands and make money without having to sacrifice the planet in the process. If Poundland sorted out its supply chain, that would be a game-changer.

    The MUA pallettes and President are good buys, thank you!

    ETA: the President is the same price in Iceland; I daresay the dates are longer.
