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?

Never on purposeSunday school got cancelled on a wednesday morning, I had to get back to a friend, as my mum was not home. We must have been both about 9 or 10. Feeling a bit peckish we decided to cook ourselves some flambee bananas. In the pan went the bananas,and we decided it would be a good idea to put the extractor on, that way the nanny would not know what we were up to. We decided to warm up the rum before setting it alight since we'd seen our parents do it, so in goes the rum, in goes the match, the next thing we know, there are huge flames rising up from the pan and into the extractor.
A few years earlier we also managed to set her parents new car on fire while playing with the cigarette lighter, they were not o pleased about that.
We once had a power cut so I decided to put a candle in my parents bedroom, I only realised where I'd put it when I heard my mum screaming, I had left it under a lampshade, which then went on to catch fire.
