    Love fairy lights and I might possibly have invested in some myself. Impatiently waiting their arrival

    This is what i got dad. A handyman installation it. His previous one lasted, we reckon, 30 years and whilst there is no guarantee this one will we are expecting it to last him out!

    I've looked and this particular one is now £300. Gulp. I suggest trying again maybe in the new year ?

    Thanks Beanie, but it's just the last four digits so not nought for fraudsters

    We live on the south coast and have a south facing kitchen with a large window and french doors, so it's like living in a greenhouse when it's sunny. DH put the parasol from the garden table up outside the French doors and it made an enormous difference to the temperature. Definitely recommend as a low cost solution.

    I preferred petulant @lucielle, now I'm just sad that our fairy lights have broken and we can't have anything nice
