   LOL Actually, I am! Funny. DH just left to go to see Rambo with his brother and as he was leaving he reminded me about Earth Hour, so we rushed around shutting everything off and lighting candles. Neighbours obviously aren't paying a bit of attention to it, though -- the houses around us are all lit up like Christmas trees!

   Hey do you think there'll be a power surge if we all turn our lights back on at 9pm?

   It's hard to see what my neighbours are up to, next door the lady is in her 80's so prob in bed already and we're on a main road so all the streetlights are on which makes it hard to see whether the houses across the street are dark or not.

   I think it is only unessential lighting anyway! I think you should be classed as having essential lighting for school work
