We had a big storm here this morn, i was sat in the lounge waiting for my mindees when suddenly there was a big flash and bang that came from the kitchen!
i have a flat roof in there and thought because the rain was so heavy that it must have leaked into the lights, they are a strip light with 3 bulbs and 1 had gone. i turned them off thinking it was them and there was a slight burning smell.
went out to toddler group and half expected my house to be on fire when i got back! lol.
just went to heat the babies dinner up and the microwave was dead, its plugged into an extension that runs under the worktop, i followed the lead which was all black and so was the laminate floor and the plug.
could have easily started a fire.:panic:
At least a new microwave will be cheaper than having to get an electrician in to mend the lights and someone in to mend the flatroof!:clapping:
