I was out in Durham this morning to get to Lidl (yeah, Consett's lidl is closer, but cos of the way GNE's pricing structure works, it's cheaper to go to Durham!!) and I was neezing my frads off at 8am waiting for the no. 14 bus, it was frosty here (and had been for the past few nights), but in Durham itself it felt really cold...
And Lidl seems to be selling a Silvercrest HDMI ready FTA satellite box for £60, if anyone's interested, I took a gander at the box, but unlike past Lidl stuff, it didn't float my boat... O-Ha
Main reason I went there was for the twin-tube (2x18w) fluorescent light fitting, for £9.99 it's surprisingly okay, I'll admit the metal casing is thin and flexible, but the ballasts inside are electronic, meaning it's epilepsy-safe(ish), so I can finally throw those god awful 200w-total halogen things out that are int he kitchen in favour of nice, soft, even light that doesn't need it's own power station to run... :-nuts
Aafter all, need to save every bit of electric this year to cover the cost of the gas and the nasty black prehistoric lumps that the mother insists are worth the £36 for four mixed sacks that last less than a week and cost waaaaay more than the gas for the month than if I just shoved something up the chimney to stop the warm air from the rads disappearing off up into the atmosphere.... O-no
Still, I suppose some people just don't believe in physics...
