Plugging in is getting me down ( just a little)

I’ve been given a floor standing light( to knit and read by ) as a present. It has a two point plug. The points are round in shape. Where can I buy an adapter? Would a universal travel adapter do?

iPad, iPhone, ear buds, kindle, toothbrush, mini HANI light, cordless Bosch vacuum cleaner - there’s always one or other every day!

I use a rechargeable barbecue lighter to light my fire. I've lost the charging cable. Happily there is another that fits it. It doesn't need plugging in at the moment.

Is it safe to keep plugs in when not in use I thought the advice was not to

Oh I was just going to post that too Nankate 😀 The unit and cable take up a bit of space in the backpack.

And not all hotels have USB ports so along comes the converter plug as well……….

All of the below plus recharging my hearing aids - a must !

I keep 3 charging cables permanently plugged in, in 3 different locations around the house.
No bending down needed, just a simple connection to put on charge.
The vacuum cleaner rests on the work surface in the utility room, charger always in the socket, ready to be connected when needed. Dyson told me not to keep permanently on charge as it reduces the life of the battery.

Going away is when the problem starts! Umpteen different options needed, plus a selection of cables and plugs for the power bank, bluetooth earphones, overseas adapters etc etc. the list goes on. I keep them all ready in a bag from the packing cube set, so I don’t have to search each time I go away.

Well for me it’s just my iPad and phone. I don’t find it a problem except when I forget to charge it 🤣

This is a problem we all have, plus the trailing cables to deal with. With all this modern technology, you would think someone would invent a different system.

When I go away, not only do an array of plugs come with me but an extension too! For phone, for iPad, for toothbrush…

It is finding sufficient sockets for all these extra chargers that is my problem.

I'd forgotten about going away. I have to take a plug with ports, so that I can charge whatever I need. It's usually only my phone and my Kindle, but they each need different end plugs. Then of course DH's phone needs a charger too.

I am waiting (in vain) for the day when batteries last a month instead of a day.

Just a smart phone and laptop for me although my dog wears an illuminated collar ( bright pink!) for dark evening walks so that's another thing to remember to recharge.

Forgetting to plug is is worse!!

Don't forget the rechargeable vacuum cleaner.

I bought a new debobbler, it's very good.
But it needs plugging in 😀

Going away anywhere is a nightmare, too, making sure you haven’t forgotten to pack the right chargers!
