im gutted but i won

i won ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
my familys life
let me explane i was cooking tea when my dd who is 19months old had a fall in another room so i ran through,by the time i calmed her down,i remembered the pan on the cooker,
ran to tthe kitchen and all i could see was thick smoke and a bloody big fire,this took less than 5mins to takehold and spread to the washing room,i have 2 alarms and neither went off:eek::eek::mad:,screamed at the kids to get out now called 999 and they were out really quick (thankgod i live across the road from the station)
40 mins later fires out and then a hour 4 the fans to blow through,
when they showed me damage i cryed,my new oven was killed the walls black and the light/window and fan and door melted,
but least were here to live to tell the tale
