    I know!! 39p is a bit of a bargain really - I thought they were good value when :money: had some at 99p on his weekly newsletter! Let me know if you want me to get you some and I will pop them in the post to you.

    Right, better get a move on - still sat here in my dressing gown!!

    Thanks! But I'd really better learn to find a local supplier. Noticing El's post too - there aren't any low energy halogen bulbs, are there? From her post I'm sure thats a "no", but I'm just checking....:confused::D

    I saw an article in a Sunday paper some time ago which said (I think) that you can now get energy saving bulbs that are compatible with dimmers. We had dimmers put in our extension so I'd really like to get some.

    has anyone seen any for sale?

    Debt-free and Proud!
    The flat I'm in at the moment has halogon spot lights - but loads of them! My energy saving thing is to not replace them (about half work at the mo) until it gets too dim to see! They'll only all work when I move out so I can get the cheapest ones & not get charged by the agents :D

    quick post - how to drastically reduce petrol costs.......go out and have somebody ram into the side of you, taking you off the road for the forseeable future!!!

    Yes - had a crappy day - very stiff. 3 police cars, fire engine and ambulance came so lots of sirens and flashing lights.

    Will update later!
