Light Bulbs
Forgive me for being stupid but do British light bulbs work in oz (the longer lasting energy saving enviromental ones) 
before you think it, i will not take them with me from my house, well not if i get the value of my house. Its just that i looked at the ikea site in oz and it comes a cross as more expensive than here and thought that we will get new ones before we go.

It does of course depend on the wattage.
