Anyone else saving up for a light bulb?

Why are they so expensive?
Where do you buy yours?

That's worth knowing, thanks.
We have Wilko and theirs are quite reasonable.

We have been gradually changing lighting since moving here as it was literally like going back to the dark ages. The light fittings are the same as were put in by the builders at the beginning of the 70s so we are renewing those and have changed to led as we go but it is hideously expensive. One workmen told me to put the old glass shades on eBay as they are retro! I suppose that might help with the costs but such a faff that I don't think I can go to those lengths.

Our kitten has discovered flies and when we returned to the sitting room after dinner the other night we found all the lamps overturned and shades knocked off but fortunately only one led bulb in a standard lamp broken but as everyone says they are so expensive! He didn't even catch the fly of course but in the interests of curtailing any further damage DH and I did. Kitten still had to check for more but he was very pleased with us! grin He is not going to be left alone in there again if I can help it even if he is asleep!

I love reading. Mainly crime fiction books. The trouble I have is my husband keeps talking to me, I answer him, then find I’m reading the paragraph I’ve already read all over again. I find this very annoying. Yes, I do moan at him about it. Makes no difference, he still does it.
