Christmas lights

[Deniz1]

Help my daughter is coming here for Christmas and I want to use outside lights but I only have 1 outside light over the front door that has a screw in bulb I havnt seen any adaptors around or
i could run a wire through the downstairs bathroom window I suppose but not ideal. I want to make my little house special as we havnt had Christmas together for years. Help!

What about solar lights we have a string of them round the pagola here in UK even though we are not getting much sun they are still as bright as ever, we paid £9 for them at Maplin really good value. Hubby will look at B & Q for adaptor if therre is one we could always bring you one on 21st Nov if you want

Thank you thats kind if you could get an adaptor its a large screw bulb in the outside lamp, another kind person has offered me the loan of their solar lights as they are not using them this year. What lovely folk on here.

I saw christmas lights at Ercan 1001, not sure if they are indoor or outdoor, they also have a varied selection of christmas decs, all year thru !!!!
Oh and China Bazaar will be starting their selection soon for sure.

If you have any trees/bushes at the front of your house...hang some coloured baubles or any other Christmas decorations from them.

Mr Pound sell some pretty ones...I think a box of 6 for 4TL.

This is the first year in 32 years that I will not be seeing either of my daughter's, so going to feel a bit strange with just hubby and I.

I love christmas and really go to town on the decorations and will still do so this year as the locals brings their children round to see them.

I have lots of stuff decs etc but plugging in lights from outside is the difficult bit it was easy in my other house but I have just moved. But I think i will get it sorted.

[woodspeckie]

Have you got lights with bayonet fitting? there is a screw in fitting which adapts to bayonet fitting, is this what you want?

[Deniz1]

Sorry woodspeckie on second thought it wouldnt be any good as all the lights here have a small 2 pin plug. Thanks for looking.

[Keithcaley]

You can always change the plug!

[woodspeckie]

Ok Deniz if you need any help pm me Hubby will try to sort it, out on 21st Nov.

[Deniz1]

Thanks woodspeckie you are very kind, I did think of that Keith but the plugs are very small sealed things and you know how temperamental christmas lights are!

[Keithcaley]

...you know how temperamental christmas lights are!

I'm with you there...

My poor dear departed husband always ended up throwing them across the room at christmas after carefully putting them away. He was the manager of a very posh lighting showroom selling crystal chandeliers worth thousands of pounds and when the boss suggested selling christmas lights he threatened to leave.
