After the cat...

I'd get all the photos I could lay my hands on

Malcolm would have his Ridgeback Panorama out of the house before you could say "Jack Robinson"...

I wouldn't bother with the cat. I'd save the parrot. The cat can get out of the cat flap, poor parrot is in a cage.

But first to save would be Bike leaning against the wall in the spare bedroom!!!!!

Well, if the house burnt down, we are insured for a new one! ace! Id leave the aga thats for sure...

First after the family, has to be the cats...

Then the laptops - a) they belong to work, and b) they house all my stuff on them.


Not much else to be honest is work saving! Bike outside so she is OK>


Reckon Chas would wheel out his electric bike - its too heavy for me to!


All those Harley bits under the bed with their petrol fumes would make it all go up nicely! :lol:

The children first, then the wife. Forget the rest, bikes are away from the house. I'd probably drive my car right up to the front to try and kill two birds with one stone!

Is there anything that people would put into their burning house to get rid of?

Yes, but if we all did it .........

But perhaps asking everybody to set fire to their houses is a bit much!

The squirrels scoff the food we put out for the birds, they ruin trees and they look cute whilst they're doing it! Cheek!

....and they laugh at my Jack Russell when he can't catch them. Rotters!

Like a small grey
coffee-pot,
sits the squirrel.
He is not

all he should be,
kills by dozens
trees, and eats
his red-brown cousins.

The keeper on the
other hand,
who shot him, is
a Christian, and

loves his enemies,
which shows
the squirrel was not
one of those.

I would make sure my partner was safe then take -

a) our civilling ceremony/celebration documents and photos
b) the PC back-up discs (the PC can go, need a new one)
c) my mobile phone

Dawes Galaxy and Brompton are right by the front door, so not much chance they'd stay there for long in a fire :lol:

Otherwise, yes, happy to put into the fire as many grey squirrels as I can lay my hands on in the circumstance.
Maybe you can spare me a few MickF?

fit smoke detectors! ring your local fire station request a free home fire safety check, to my knowledge detectors are fitted free, one on each living level, for the elderly free chip pan and electric blanket exchanes. and jan19 will have to worry no more :)
