IR Flip Flop switch Stripboard Veroboard

this is a little design I did when trying to figure out a way to turn the light on and off from across the room with a remote control, the drawback to it is that it reacts to any IR remotes but after I made this I replaced the sensor with a hacked off bit of dvd player (the bit with the IR sensor stuff in it) so it now only responds to a few buttons on the remote that belonged to the old DVD player.

for me solutions are better when they are free - I don't care if it looks like shit.
