only the youngest left at university now and he went back today. We will miss him of course but at least I won't wake up in the middle of the night to the smell of burning food - on his return from evenings out with his friends over the Christmas break he has incinerated bacon, sausages, pizza, various party type food offerings, and last night he set fire to two hot cross buns he'd jammed in the toaster before falling asleep. God only know how he manages when he is at university!

Thats why they have so many fire alarms going off in halls, my sons alarm has gone off so many times he no longer goes out!

Woops in my house it is usually me that sets the alarms off not the kids.:eek: I think there must be something wrong with my dh's sense of smell. He was sat right next door to the almost burning saucepan of beetroot and swears he didn't smell a thing. It was my son that found it and rescued it just in time. Perhaps it would be safer if my boys came home from uni.:rotfl:

TrulyMadly

Hi mothershipton, please tell your son to react to every fire alarm - just in case.
Saw some research once about how few people react to alarms. We all tend to think things are ok but you never know. Better safe than sorry. And don't get me started about over crowded nightclubs and fire risks......
