Last week I cringed when I saw the wife carrying in several boxes of Xmas
lights ... knowing that this will cause usual grief.

It did , several sets as usual took hrs of fun to get working .... we are
now short of some bulbs ... anybody know of any on-line source for fairy
light bulbs ?
Tried B&Q, Wicks, Wilkinson's, Garden Centres etc. ... no luck

I know someone will say buy 2 sets so you have a set of bulbs for spare -
bit late for that advice as they have already been purchased.
