Interesting!

That hasn't been our experience - I think we've only changed one bulb in 14 months!!

We have about 15 energy saving bulbs throughout the house.
Cost about €1 each and all still going strong 12 months later.

Oops, sorry!

My O/H didn't tell me he'd already posted a reply to this!!

I’m hoping as time passes this thread will provide a lot of Simple Answers. The forum should benefit from not seeing the same questions again and again, and people new to the forum will hopefully find it a mine of information.
Well - unfortunately it didn’t work… With 18 posts on-topic and 18 posts off-topic, I have to give up on the idea of this being useful.

Thank you everyone who actually gave answers to the questions!

Having a bit of a break at the moment, but just cant seem to motivate myself to get out and work, the weather is too nice and I just want to go for walks and bike rides with the dog.

How about you?

No seriously, all is great here thanks

Am just about to go for a walk with our dog now, actually.
The sun is shining, the birds are singing and all is well in our little world

We've got swifts (? or are they swallows?) nesting outside our front door


Re: the dog and cycling activity:

A few years back, Shiloh and I went on a dog activity holiday in the Forest of Dean - had a fantastic time!
Loads of walks, Agility, swimming, fun training and a wonderful bike ride through the forest, with all the dogs running alongside us. Really great fun had by all.

I can't wait to get my bike over here - just hope the poor dog's not too old by then!?

It's a good idea to have a break from studies from time to time anyway; you need to recharge your brain cells and then you'll be motivated again.
Just think of what the qualification will help you achieve

All the very best to you,
Sam.
