I could have been killed in my sleep!


On sunday night I waslked into the hall. I could smell burning. It was coming from under the stairs. I got the kids to put off everything. I traced it back to the fuse box. Two wires coming from the electric metre were hot. Got someone from the electricity board this morning and this is what he found.


I think we had a lucky eascape dont you.
