GAH!

The dishwasher appears to have packed in. Just what I need.

Also, I very nearly set fire to the kitchen this evening. I was rushing, because I had an appointment for Poppy at the vet to get to (only a health check and booster vaccination, nothing wrong with her), and I switched on the wrong ring on the stove without realising it - wandered off to do other things for 5 minutes while the spaghetti (supposedly) cooked, and came back to find that the wooden spatula, which was lying across the ring that wasn't supposed to be on, was just smouldering into flame! Yikes! Hastily grabbed and flung it into the sink, and managed to burn the tips of a couple of fingers in the process.

Yeah, not my best evening. Could be worse, though. While I was at the vet, a lady came in with a kitten, no more than 14 weeks old, which had got jammed in the door and started having fits, poor little thing. Now, I may be a couple of fingers down for typing for a day or two, but at least my kitties are healthy and happy!

Poor kitten! I hope she was okay.

I once left the oven on when I went to work.

I didn't hear the end of the kitten story, as they were still with the vet when I left - I hope it's okay, too! Made me glad mine have avoided accidents.

I was only out of the kitchen for 5 minutes, but apparently 5 minutes on a hot ring is enough for a wooden spatula to catch fire! Must endeavour to be more careful in future.

Sounds like quite the bad day. Glad a fire didn't break out! Ouch about the burn. Nasty *hugs* Hope it heals up quick smart.

Cheers. Fingers are no longer hurting, but still a bit tingly - should be right as rain in no time. And I must try to be more careful in future!

Aahhh! Fire!
I am one of those people who tries desperately to not be paranoid, but I always think I've left the stove on... I'm glad you caught it in time!

A bit of paranoia would have stood me in good stead last night! I was only out of the room for 5 minutes, but it was long enough for the wooden spatula to catch fire, lying on the hot ring! I got back to the kitchen just in time.

No, you're supposed to heat the food, not the utensils. Good job you weren't trying to boil potatoes though.

Well, I know that now, obviously...;)
