    Why is it so hard to buy normal lightbulbs now. I know they are being phased out but my OH can't do with the energy saving bulbs as he needs instant light with his eyesigh issues not a dim light for a few hours. If i find any now i will have to bulk buy as we have run out :(

    Haven't been around much for a couple of days as work has been really busy so I can't have my short internet breaks every so often.

    When I read what you said about normal lightbulbs I remembered that we had ordered a load for my mother-in-law from this website a while back http://cpc.farnell.com/

    They do a variety of different kinds - if you search for bulbs you should be on your way. Also, when it shows a price for standard bulbs it'll say something like 1=£6.74 which means 1 pack of 10 for that price. If you really order in bulk (e.g. 6 packs of 10) the price per pack comes down.

    I applied for one of the Waterstones books today and tried for the others this week too. Had an email this afternoon to say I've won 3 books from another FB page - so books total for 2012 is now up to 32.

    I've got some reviews to write on the Waterstones page tonight so am doing that while OH is watching the football.

    You are doing really well with the books SueMaggie hope it continues for you. Last year I was snowed under in different cereal wins and so far this year I haven't won a single packet - I am going to have to buy some in a few weeks time :D

    Don't think the weather forecast is very good Becks but maybe time to change yet! Looking forward to getting away with DH on our own anyway ;) We are leaving on Friday morning after kids go to school - the case is out but still empty.

  • Blimey i never thought choosing free books from The Mirror would be so difficult. I had 25 free ones last time they run this promotion and now my dad has collected me the tokens again. Have hadto get my booms from last time out and write down which ones on the order form I havent got :D

    Been wide awake since 7 but feel tired now but going to see my nan for the day.

    Sun is finally shining hereso hopefully will stay nice now for a few days.

    Sad to see the policeman who was blinded by that Raol Moat appears to have commited suicide.

    Hope everyone has a good start to March

    Morning everyone and a lucky march to us all ;)

    Flying visit for me as I just need to post comps before I get too far behind, then off to mums.

    It was sad to read about the Policeman in the Raul Moat case :( he was so brave, I guess it all just got too much for him poor guy xx

    Have a lucky, sunny day everyone :)
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!

    Morning all (well nearly afternoon)

    It's really grey and misty here. There's also an enormous crow sitting on the lamp post outside staring in at me as I'm working. I love crows as they're so clever, but he's putting me off!

    I received my two other Clean Campaign prizes this morning - mascara and the Desperate Housewives perfume. I've also just had a WEM for a pack of Taylors coffee from Sky Arts - my first win of March!

    I'm really pleased to still be winning anything as I haven't really entered a lot over the past few weeks, other than Waterstones FB and competitions I get in emails.

    Hope everyone else is having a good day and that we all have a winning March.

    Hi everyone

    Its a lovely sunny day in east Anglia. Katie must have read my plea and sent me some of her sunshine.

    Just in case I don't get time to pop back into the Inn I will say have a wonderful few days away sheils.

    I got my first winning email for March. The prize is a lovely selection of Maya craft goodies. The comp was posted by Laskshmi7 and there are at least 2 of the 6 winners from mse.:T:T

    Like SueMaggie I have not had time to enter much lately so to win is amazing.

    You and I need to get down to some serious comping wingo.

    Have a lovely day everyone.
    Be Lucky Everyone
