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?

I used to mess about with candles a lotwhen i was quite little, melting wax and making patterns with it and so on. One night I was left to my own devices - mum was out and dad was in the bath upstairs. Brought out the candles and the lighter, got a little too entranced by the pretty flamey-flame, leant too close to the candle... today, some 15 years later, dad still regales us with the "hilarious" story of me running up the stairs screaming "Dad dad, my hair's on fire!!"
The hilarity!
