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! |

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. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

I have my light on in the my bedroom (where I am) only as I am doing school work as well as on the computer and I need to be able to see my books. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

I think it is only unessential lighting anyway! I think you should be classed as having essential lighting for school work ------------- http://lilypie.com">
