How clean is your house?"Part of my kitchen floor are thick with dust, grease, part of a broken mug, a few mummified oven-chips, a desiccated used teabag and a couple of pieces of cutlery", says Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic. To most people, that's filth. To some of us, that's dinner. Tell us about squalid homes or obsessive cleaners.

Fire AlarmI was cooking earlier in the day and as my house was built pre 1993(?) It does not have to have an alarm wired into the mains, so to stop the buggers going off I took the batteries out.
What I failed to do was put them back in before I went to bed.
If you dis-connect a mains wired alarm the insurance company will invalidate your claim!
Most of the damage was caused by soot which was liberally dispensed around the house by the fire brigade using a huge fan at the front door and blowing the smoke out of every window.
I was told that in the States Insurance Companies will only pay out for damage for the room where the fire occurred, so could have been a serious problem. (Cousins over the pond to confirm)
