But if i ban PS2, computers, etc they have the option of books or outdoor sports.
We often get the old Sega Lock-On game and run around a park shooting each other
its both fun and gets them out and running.

Fire in my kitchen

Came home from shopping tonight to see flames , onlookers, and fire trucks right behind us.

Luckily we only lost an oven, microwave, breadmaker , and ill get a bloody good workout cleaning the smoke damage - its all through the house :/

OMG!!

Thank goodness the damage was limited and nobody was hurt!

When I was a kid my (much) older Sister and her family came to live with us for a time following a fire in their house. They spent a lot of time (weeks) repainting and cleaning. The smell of the smoke had permeated everything and much of it had to be pitched.

I hope your situation is better!

Did they determine the cause of the fire? Electrical?

Again, thank goodness nobody was hurt!

David C

umm, yeah, cause of the fire was ... *ahem* ...... me !

That just teaches you not to put on a pot of oil to deep fry things eh!

got distracted when husband got home from work, then we ended up going up to the shops/mall so i could get groceries (funnily enough because i had nothing to cook other than deep fried crap from the back of the freezer).

Anyway i left the pot of oil on the stove. Luckily it had a lid on it. Even luckier that i had full insurance and its gonna only cost me $150

Ahh don't feel too bad about it. I've done similar. One afternoon, wifey was away, and as I drove into the driveway, I sensed something was wrong, I couldn't tell what. So I got into the house, put a hotdog (or 4) on to boil and went out to have a look.

Damnation!!! There was a huge tree missing from our front yard! One a meter in diameter at the base! Gone! Just a stump! That's what was wrong! there was sun where there wasn't supposed to be!

The town had taken down the tree by mistake, turns out, I was spitting and fuming! Long story short, we eventually got a reasonable settlement from the town so it all turned out okay.

Did you forget about the hot dogs I put on to boil? I did! went in about 45 minutes later and the house was filled with smoke! The water had boiled out of the pan, the meat had incinerated to dust and the pan (what was left of it) was glowing red.

Course, like an idiot I tried to grab it- but fortunately let go at the sound of pork sizzling (my hand) and dropped it and it fell to the floor and put a huge scorch mark on the floor...

So don't worry, accidents happen to the best of us...and me too!

David C

lol nice.
Yeah accidents happen, we're kinda living everywhere else and eating everywhere else but at home atm.
I mean home is ok burn wise, but the dust/soot is EVERYWHERE.
Even gotta scrub the toilet seat before sitting on it.
We sleep at home but leave as soon as we get up.
Taking food to friends place to eat (though they keep feeding us their food).
Its hell on the diet, ive been having a few ciggys now and chocolate and generally doing stressed bad behavior.

Tonight we're having take aways. Butter chicken. Yeah its bad for ya, but damn we need something nice

Howdy Wishes,
OMG not another fire that is 1 of the scarriest things to exsperoence glad you and your family are ok and $150 to take care of the damagesnot bad! Enjoy your butter chicken you deserve something nice!Hope your day is better,Tammy

Oh I'm sorry about the fire, but I'm glad everybody is doing well

Looks like we have to move out for a couple weeks whilst they fix things up :O
In the mean time we get the cleaners in and stuff which is cool

Least its under insurance *sigh*

Ill be glad if i dont smoke and regain weight after all this lol. The weather has been arse too so no riding all week.

Shit happens, if i regain ill re-loose it (if its much at all).
