New mum praises Poundland’s cheap stick-on lights for transforming her kitchen – and making night feeds easier
IT'S a scenario most mums will recognise all too well - you're stumbling around in the middle of the night, trying to make a bottle for the baby and are determined not to turn on the kitchen lights.
Why? Because at that time in the morning, the brightness means you'll never be able to get back to sleep.
That said, savvy mums have come up with a genius solution to this common problem - and it involves whizzing down to Poundland, i.e. our favourite shop of all time.
Posting on the Facebook group , the mum wrote: "Found these little lights and wanted to give them a go in the kitchen.
"Ideal at 5am when making the baby's bottle."
The mum placed the black stick-on lights underneath her kitchen cabinets so they shine a light over the area she keeps empty baby bottles and her tea-making section... obviously.
What's more, other members of the group have found other uses for the purse-friendly lights.
One replied: "I've got them all round the house as we get loads of power cuts and the kids are terrified of dark rooms."
Another added: "I have put these in my wardrobe as my partner works really late night and I work early morning so that way I'm able to see what clothes I'm grabbing without waking him up."
Hitting the nail on the head, a third wrote: "Perfect if you don't want to fully wake up."
