We have the things in every room in the house practically, bar the kitchen.
All the kids rooms have 3 or 4 sockets but they still need the obligatory extensions and double adapters. Even my cubby hole here only has 2 main sockets so i have a 4 plug extension in each.
As far as the young un`s are concerned i have tried using less extensions, thereby forcing them to only plug in what they`re using at that moment in time, but this usually results in a completely unsafe mess as far as the cables are all concerned. The extensions, with the wiring tidied and secured, is the lesser of the two evils i`ve found.
I`m very very stringent when it comes to ensuring everyone has switched everything off at night or when not in use. I`m possibly over cautious due to witnessing the result of a fire in neighbours house many years ago. The Grandmother & her two Grandchildren could sadly not be rescued and the whole street heard the consequences.
