    OH NOOOO! :eek::eek::eek:

    HAVING A BLOOMING NIGHTMARE! In my wisdom I thought it would be easier to burn all the paperwork that I've got from under the bed in the Chimnea - shredding would take me hours! So I've just wandered into the kitchen and saw the smoke rising and though "hmmm, thats a lot of smoke, I'll dash out to check that none of the neighbours have windows open. So I dashed out of the kitchen towards the conservatory and.....bump....I ran straight into the patio doors! Ouch! Nice red mark on my forehead!

    In hindsight, there wouldn't be much I could do if their windows were open! Luckily, they're not and nobody has washing out!

    Oh I hope the fire service don't turn up! I'm afraid I'm the one that gives blondes a bad name!!! Got to leave the house for a meeting in a bit, might go early!! :o
