Does anyone else find that they dont have enough plugs in their room, I have 3 sockets in total and Im constantly using adapters and stuff. I have like 6 things plugged into a 2 plug socket. I tried to plug in a 7 but the fuse blew so I cant. I just fitted a new adapter into socket and put an electrical heater on from another empty socket. I smell a bit of burning but I turned the heater off and it isnt as strong. Im just paranoid incase the house burns down :9
I totally agree Paul, I have only 3 in my room. 1 has blown which is annoying but lucky I have a laptop rather than a desktop as it may be hard to run it. I have a adapter also for other things like my TV, Lava Lamp, Hi-Fi & a lot of other stuff. Well annoying.
My house is rarely new as well, only 8 years old. Why didn't they make more plug sockets? In this day and age. I'm moving to an older house in the next couple of weeks. I think there will be less at this older house.
Yeahh have to agree too.
One side of my room I have two sockets with the right socket having a cube adapter in which holds an extra plug. It is my external hard drive, laptop charger and phone charger.
Behind my bed I have two more sockets which also has a cube adapter in. That has two lamps, television, playstion and mini fridge plugged into it lmaoo.
Oh dear.
i have one output. from that i have a
8 adapter, a 6 adapter and a 5 adapter, so in total i have 19 appliances running from it and it's been fine ;)
but i have a tiny room so yh
I have 2. One for my TV/DVD/Surround Sound/iPod Dock/PS2/Lava Lamp. Other one for everything to my Computer. So I need more :/
i have 4 that are ALL at the other end of the room
so it's annoying i have a big stupid cable coming from under my bed to my computer
lol that's ridiculous. I'm hoping you have decent quality surge protected adapters?Quote:

I have 7 and my rooms fairly big.
Closets don't count Ross :PQuote:

i have to have one of those things that plugs into one plug.. but its like 4 plugs :P i hate it :(
Yes, I find this too.
I have two actual plug sockets in my room, witch both have multi sockets plugged into, so in total, I have 7 plug sockets, which is not enough! Haha! Oh well, I switch them about when I need to plug something else in! :D
I have 6 sockets, but I need more :(
Whoever said pregnancy was the most painful thing in the world never stood on an upturned plug..
Yeah i'm lacking in plugs:( hahha
I got like 4 sockets each with a 6 plug adapter thing on lmao
tv/computer/freeview/clock/clock/speakers

I have 3, 2 behind a wardrobe and therefore useless :P
i have four; i use one for my laptop, one for my telly, one for my dvd and the other for my straightners/hairdryer when needed. i dont really need anymore.
In my room this is the amount of electrical appliances I have have:
1. Monitor
2. PC
3. Speakers
4. Printer
5. Hauppauge HD PVR
6. Xbox360.
7. TV
8. Bedside Lamp

2 sockets, what a joke. :(
DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT CHANGE THE FUSE, you will burn down your house.
Just a quick count, I have 16 plugs in my room (2 per box).
In this room I have two double sockets, so four. One has my phone charger, one has a radio clock and another has a cube adapter with a lamp and my laptop plugged in, with a spare socket on the adapter, so I'm fine :D.
In my uni room last year though, the room had one SINGLE socket! :eusa_wall So I had an extension adapter which had 5 or 6 sockets on it and then I had two cubes on that :P.
Those cubes are against health and safety now. NAUGHTY get the strip ones. xx
yes.i really need more
My Grandad is an electrician so I got him to put in alot more plugs, I orignially had 2, both had those cube things on them, but now I have 5 in a row on the wall, one with line thing with 4 extras on it. With those 8 plugs free is my TV, Hi-Fi, PS2, Computer, Monitor, My Laptop (when it's in my room, it always moves) and 2 free ones which I change what I plug into them when I need to.
Other 2 plugs are used for chargers (Phone and iPod) and occasionally a lamp.
And I know exactly what is meant by stepping on an upturned plug. +rep for reminding us all!
Really? Why?? :S The ones I have are dead modern as well, they have a switch and a little LED for each input so you can switch the three sockets on/off individually as and when needed.Quote:
