My son is back off to uni in September but the new house he is moving into has no bedroom door locks. The landlord says that none can be fitted. I know you can get portable door locking mechanisms for locking a door internally, but is there such a device that he can lock when he leaves the room...

Cheers Robbie, do I take it that when stirred if they look ok then they should be, or is there more of a telltale sign?

I bought 2 tins of Dulux Matt emulsion about 2-3 years ago, which I never opened. I am just getting arouond to decorating and wondered if the emulsion would be any good? thanks

Knowing nothing about electrics but just nosing through the threads...why not?

Yes I realise that, but why should the GZ10 be used in a bathroom?

The lamp holder is only about 3 years old and the wire was getting quite warm too. So why would the cable get hot? I thought that maybe the wiring was wrong (that was a guess, as I don't know the first thing about electrics....bit like you don't know about family values lol (only joking))

Thanks, I tried the energy savers but my son, who uses the room doesn't like the type of light. Perhaps I should buy a 100w holder then. Cheers

Hi, one of my bedrooms has always been a little dark so I decided to replace the 60w bulb with a 100w one. After a few minutes I could smell something and felt the bulb holder which was very hot and also the 6inch cable to the rose was quite warm. Why should this happen?

I have looked but cannot find if this has been answered before, sorry if I missed it. My double glazing has emulsion build up from years of decorating and whoever not masking the plastic properly. I have tried sugar soap but that just makes the clean bits look cleaner. Any ideas?
