How Many Have You Got?

[Stargazer]

Behind my computer and television, I have 13 electric plug; all but three of them permanently plugged in. It took half an hour to untangle them and dust and wipe them with a damp cloth. Can you beat that? The ones not plugged in at the moment are a printer, cd player and a photo thingy that keeps running through the photos that are downloaded onto it. Two sockets are all that is available for these 10 at a time.

Are you bored?

[Stargazer]

Cupid, I am not exactly bored, rather I wish I were not the only person to clean behind things. Everywhere out of sight is dusty and the vacuum cleaner just seems to stir it all up which shows up when the sun is shining! I am also aware of the birds trying to feed just the other side of the window and I am scaring them away! I would rather be pottering around the garden.

I have permanently plugged in at one corner of the room:
tv
tivo
blue ray player
headphone transmitter
aerial signal booster
wii
virgin superhub
NAS

and it is a very scary place full of cables. I can't imagine what yours looks like.

I refuse to look, I won't look - you can't make me eeek.

Behind my TV is a no-go area (it cuts across a corner). A mass of cables and undoubtedly spiders. Permanently plugged in is the TV, Sky box, VCR, DVD, router, 3 laptops, a phone, photo frame, aquarium light and heater and pump, 2 table lamps and twig lights.

I'm definitely not going there.
Far too many is all the answer I am willing to give to this question.

That's because all you people want to have that new-fangled electric. Do what I do, everything runs on gas.

the plugs she has behind her tv / comp are low users on power i doubt if they all come to 1000watt in total, well within the sockets limit
