Given that energy saving ones are so cheap now is it worth it? A few years ago maybe, but now they are so cheap it's not worth the bother. One of the big chain (Robert Dyas I think) were doing 10 for a £1 a few weeks ago, and Asda / Tesco often have them on offer. Can you buy incandescant bulbs that cheap or in the wattage you need any longer?
It may be relevent on the energy performance report, if it states there are energy saving lights in it could be considered part of the particulars, but you'd need a solicitor to cinform that...0 -

I plan to do the same as above!Squish0 -
I didn't know there was such a thing as a clutter expert. Do you have any more info on that please.
Just google one near you. The standard charge is £200 a day in London. They're part house-doctor/part therapist. Mine was a lady called Mary. She was a bit new-agey (burning sage and obsessed with feng shui and the like) and I was very wary of her initially. She'd been recommended to me by a friend or I'd never have asked her to help me in a million years.
Before I met her, I'd always been very untidy. I had no idea, for example, of basic rules such as "a place for everything" and "like always goes with like", and "if you can find it in the library you don't need it in your house." Anyway, in three days the place was unrecognisable, and she totally changed me. I'm an absolute neat freak now:D0
