This is a question Have you ever started a fire?

I went to sleep with candles burning - woke up to a circle of flame on the rug. Thought, "Tits. Better put the rug in the bath and turn the taps on." TIP: Don't put a burning rug into a fibre glass bath. I caused about £5000 of damage to the house and was coughing up smoky black phlegm for a few weeks. Can you beat that?

Shortly before christmas when I was four
We were in the middle of a powercut, so my ma put a candle by the side of my bed (scared of the dark at the time, over it now).
I used this to set light to my bendy toys to make room for the toys Father Christmas was going to bring me.
Made much worse by the fact my olds didn't have a phone at the time and no neighbours, so had to run to the local phone box to phone the fire brigade.
I have a vague memory of my olds ferrying bowls and buckets of water up the stairs from the kitchen to my bedroom to put it out.
The kitchen was flooded by the amount of water they had to use, and I think it bought the ceiling down eventually.
My next best was flooding the bathroom shortly after; had a waterfall running down our stairs!
They weren't happy
