    We used LED's throughout for the new extension, hallway etc and they cost a small fortune... just hoping that they pay off in the long run!

    (recessed spot light thingys rather than light fittings so there must be around 24 of them!)
  • Oh how funny.
    That's my scienceteacheraspergers.

    If you mean something like a halogen downlight replacement, the savings will be 80%+ per bulb. With 24 lights, that's a lot of your power bill sunk :)

    Finally feeling :xmastree:
  • Well done!

    Is it weird to decorate until 11:30 at night? House is now like Christmas * 1,000,000! I moaned for like the first two hours, absolutely nackered thanks to DD's antics and a day of hefting boxes around (full pallet of radiators, 4 giant boxes of cardboard recycling, grocery shop + party grocery shop, filled fish tank with 20 buckets of water, hoovered house, swapped out lightbulbs etc.)

    DD makes me laugh! It would appear that she has now mastered rolling to a professional standard. When placed on a rug at the edge of the couch, she will now roll over and over until she meets an obstacle :rotfl:

    Bright eyes staring up at the :xmastree:
  • I bet she is entranced.
    Wait til she rolls over and gets stuck under the sofa!
