I've just remembered I didn't unpack the shopping yesterday.

🚁🐝 Set the kitchen on fire last night, well, the laundry basket at least.

Did you put your hot pants in it? :laugh:

So, I had been cleaning some new wheels* with meths on a cow cloth, as I went through the kitchen to leave the cloth outside to dry I noticed the washing machine had finished so went to switch it off at the wall, as I did so there was a spark and the cloth caught fire, so I dropped it, if it had gone on the floor nothing would have happened, but it went straight fo the laundry basket where it set light to bunny’s flimsies. Luckily there was a powder extinguisher handy.

Was the spark a static one, between you and the switch, or was it the socket.
If the socket, you can change it next week whilst she's in Wakefield.

Added there's someone after an empty fire extinguisher, on here.
