Orange Crush? The 35 used or the 20 new. 

Solid state but not digital, simple old school amps with line in and headphone out.

Don't personally understand the concept of practice amps. Either it sounds inspiring or practice unplugged, what's the point in suffering some lame version of what you like?

I’m always a lame version of what I like

It’s more a technique thing rather than an inspiration thing, I do most of my writing on my main rig but I’d like something that I can bust out riffs on through headphones while the Mrs is watching Love Island

Yamaha THR?  Might be just out of the £120 budget though.  Very versatile.

Vox Av15 £100 del'd. As new in box. Light as a feather with on board FX etc and has mp3 and headphone inputs. For low volume practice excellent. Easier on the eye than some amps too. This and a THR are the only things I was able to get away with leaving in the lounge. She physically shifted the Marshall class 5 combo out of the lounge herself LOL Plenty of demos on YT.

There’s a THR10X in the classified for £125. 

Ive got one and it’s a great amp the drive tones are particularly excellent. 
Batteries last for ages and it doubles as a great little mp3 speaker for the garden during bbq’s.
