Sorry Cas but we had this a while ago and it did my head in. Got the table lamps from the bedrooms as I refused to change it again! We had to change the ceiling rose. Can't help, but hope you get it sorted soon.

Think the electric is dodgy ...I'll get the landlord to do something about it.

Got any candles?

We're sitting here with a bulb out as we've changed it four times in 9 months too. I'm not changing it again.

Yes...do it in the morning before work.

Yes very thanks

Went to the most Easterly point on the mainland on Saturday (Cape Byron) and stood at the top of the cliffs watching about 25 wild dolphins playing in the surf below. We tooks some photies but they're not great - our camera's crap unless the subject is <10ft away

We mostly just chilled around the pool and spa. Oh yes, and drank copious amounts of vodka

You rang?

Try and test it, lick your index finger then put it into the light socket if you get a shock you'll know it's not the circuit.
