[zetecmk2]

"Hot Pants "

[Trevmk3]

good job it was caught before it spread mate.

 

did you ask them to do the mopping up?

[chrisd]

Lucky you got to it being that close to the gas pipe it could have been a lot worse hope you get sorted soon mate

[Fiesta Steve]

Glad you ok m8 Could have been a lot worse !

 

I blame those dodgy electricians

[Grizzley Dell]

in a fire health and safety leaflet we get they advise people not to leave washing machines running unless u are in & awake.

 

 

 

damn im full of useless information.

[bigglesmk2]

Mate

 

You were lucky hope you insured,how'd it happen ?

[over_head_cam]

oops

 

At least you can have a claim up and get all new

[MrsSmokeEm]

Did that pink jumper start the fire

[w p e]

well pip at least you can finish the lammy floor now i;ll get me coat

[Pipster007]

It was the washing machine that caught light on the internal wiring, which in turn burnt the worktop and spread underneath to the adjoing cabinet and oven. It's a few years old now (certainly out of warranty)

 

It could have been a lot worse if the house was empty or I had gone to bed, which I've done many times.....................Never again though

 

Fortunately I have a lot of clean clothes which I had washed on Monday...................Except now, everything smells of smoke I may not be a fireman, but by god I can certainly smell like one now

 

The assessors are coming out on Friday, hopefully they'll give the OK to get a washing machine and oven before xmas

 

 

 

 

 

At least the clothes got dried while they were being washed. I'd say it was an efficient machine

[Pipster007]

Did that pink jumper start the fire

Don't mock the pink

 

 

well pip at least you can finish the lammy floor now i;ll get me coat

I may be able to get the other side of the kitchen lammy'd aswell if I can get new cabinets

[Fast eddie]

kin ell pip, thort it was only me thinking of an insurance job!

glad it was found in time bud!

[Mr Sam]

yikes!!!!! saw your FB about some insurance and wondered what was up

 

 

 

hope your okay no smoke inhalation and what not and looks like it could of been much worse

[marky4]

god that could have been so much worse glad your alright mate

[4parajon]

As has been said mate, that could have been so much worse, glad your ok.

 

Makes you think tho, we are always running our machine either at night or before we go to work and leaving it on. Ive not heard of having to make sure your in/present with it on before either.

[OldskoolSue]

bloody hell! as everyone else has said lucky you where in,thats the last time i ever leave my washing machine on when im out

[SmokeEm]

Just think Pip - if you buy a cheap cooker n washing machine with the insurance payout, it might leave you enough dosh to buy that slipper
