B & Q sale on at the mo. Amongst other star bargains, they have loads of halogen old style bayonet fit light bulbs at 10p for a twin pack and lots of plain white plastic three pin electrical sockets also at 10p. Picked up a flat wire (for under carpets) telephone extension lead for 50p

The way that first sentence read on my phone made me expect the word Durex to follow

Are they doing any offers on GU10 fittings ? I replaced 50 bulbs which were GU10 fittings (x50watt) bulbs with 4 watt LEDs last year. By my calculations these have already covered the outlay. I still have at least 100 bulbs to replace, but due to not really using these rooms often the break even point is far off. Ideally I want a bulb of the 3k sprectrum. 2.7k is too orange and 6k too blue. I find 3k a nice white it's crisp and clean.

That's two and a half kilowatts - hardly need the heating on at night.....

That's spread around the kitchen and lounge. No need for additional heat in the kitchen the Aga takes care of that. No need for additional heat in the lounge the wood burner takes care of that.

It was GU10'S that we got (3 for 50p), but from the cannock store, not Stafford...
