Afternoon all!

Guess which lovely young lady managed to set her own house on fire last night?!? Go on - guess!



Managed to put the flames out with an underwear catalogue - though still blowing black stuff out of my snout...



Jasper was not impressed. Guess that's it for me and pyromania...:o

:eek::eek::eek:So pleased you and Jazz are okay!!

I think you feel cheated of not seeing your fireman......so for you and GB!!:D:D

Aw, thanks petal. x Must admit, I am a bit un-nerved by the amount of black stuff in and around my nose, the fire seemed so small last night, and there's almost no damage. Not even any smell (apart from Jasper).

I suspect it would have been far, FAR, worse if I hadn't had smoke alarms. The one downstairs going off woke me up, so I switched it off and wondered why the upstairs one was going off as well. Up I toddled, switched it off, went back downstairs and noticed the flames on my coffee table. "Oh, right." I thought, "That'll be why then." The rest of my language will go unpublished...

There's a lesson there, kids. Get your smoke alarm batteries tested!:D

But thank you for your concern. I'll be fine and Jasper suffered no ill-effects whatsoever. (Although I'll be sending a bl**dy ill-effect in his direction myself if he doesn't stop f*rting).:)

We always take smoke alarms for granted, take the battery out when we get P'd off with them etc but this situation is a reminder that they do in fact SAVE LIVES. Always make sure it's fitted and working correctly. *feel like one of those hunky firemen myself now*

Over the last few weeks we have had a number of "troll" attacks on the boards.

What is a Troll?
A troll is a person that posts deliberately provocative, nasty or hurtful comments on threads. They may be a person with no previous connection to the board or someone that has created a pseudonym to get their point made. If you should get such a comment made on any thread you post, asking for help and advice, please realise this comment is not directed at you personally so please ignore these nasty comments and continue to post here as normal because the majority of us really are a lovely bunch – ooops, modesty!

What should I do if I get a comment made on my thread?
Firstly do not respond to the comment as this is invariably what the troll wants. So to get rid of the offending post, at the bottom of the post towards the right hand side you’ll see a red "Warning" triangle within a blue “Abuse” icon, as shown below:

Click the icon and then "send" the message which will inform the abuse team of the post, who will then review its content and deal with it as appropriate; sometimes even deleting the troll by making their status PPR’d (Posting Privileges Removed). Remember, this site is an asset to so many people, especially those that feels like their world is falling in around them. There is a wealth of knowledgeable people here all willing to help, whatever you do, do not let the comments of one silly individual deter you from availing yourself of the knowledge base that is on offer here.

PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE FORUM

It is testament to the work that Martin has done and continues to do that so many people give their time, knowledge and experience freely to others; without judgement, to lift people out of the depths of their debt crisis


PLEASE DO NOT LET THE ACTIONS OF THE MINORITY RUIN THAT

Thanks Geebz. You're so right. I'd always thought that Jasper would wake me up in the event of something like this happening, but the mutt-muppet was just sitting there, watching it happen with interest, only stopping to laugh at me as I put out the flames with frenzied swear-words... I followed your advice and went and got checked out at the local pharmacy - just minor smoke inhalation, fortunately, so nothing really to worry about.

As I was explaining what happened though, I had a major sh*t-fit - 'cause that's when it occurred to me that, were it not for the smoke alarms, it's a virtual certainty that Jasper and I would have been seriously injured or killed, not to mention losing our home and possessions. Freaked me out quite a bit. I had a very lucky escape.

But If...'s hunky fireman has boosted my spirits, and the house doesn't smell of smoke, so the worst-case-scenario of my mum finding out what happened is unlikely.


At least I can be thankful that the flames didn't make their way 'round to my "Special Cupboard"...
:rotfl::rotfl:

If you will excuse me, I think I need to go and look at that picture of the fireman again...

I'm really pleased you're ok, Roo, both of you. You did have a lucky escape, let this be a warning to you. Sorry, i'm lecturing you, my sister almost died in her house when it caught fire so this kind of thing really scares me.

If only that fireman could come and give us some safety advice eh?...

OMG!!! just think what could have happened if it had got around to your 'drinks' cupboard!!!! :eek:
