Bayonet bulb mountain... wake up energy companies!
I went to my wifes grandmother's the other day and went to change a bulb for her. She said she had some energy saving bulbs in her draw that had been sent by her energy company - FREE! Great... until I tried to fit one and found that they were all for 'Bayonet' fittings only.
Practically all of her light fittings are now the screw in type and so she has over 10 bulbs sat in a draw that she is unable to use.
If you look at most fixtures that are for sale in stores like Ikea, B&Q, Homebase etc. you'll see that practically all now have screw in bulb attachments and not the old Bayonet type.
So all I can say is 'wake up energy companies' and start sending out the screw in type bulbs and help to stop wasting peoples time, money and energy.
I have just recently started a new project at home: every day one fo my kids (11, 10 & 5) cooks a meal from scratch.
All on their own - except the little one who is just 5, so he can't really do part of it...but I am there to help him.
Since I work full time, this simple action is helping me very much, and I'm more available to give them attention because I'm not stressed that I have to cook dinner...
Try it!
