we bought some pretty explensive lights from reputable garden center..had them since beginning of dec and at wekened they wouldnt work, looked at control box(flash/strobe/flicker etc) and it was stuck to carpet!?..the box had overheated, melted itself and the goo/chemical inside had seeped out and glued itself to carpet!!
dp took them back tonight and they had none of these left only coloured ones, so i said to leave it..we have lights on window(tree in window), lights on fireplace and lights on fireplace in playroom.
But i feel a bit scroogy to get a refund instead of replacement (colour) lights..i just didnt see the point 2 days before Christmas, we'd had them up a month and would be taking them down next week??..am i a miserable old money grabbing git??
