What was that noise in our house?

[Osheo]

All sitting round with drinks, chatting, nibbling on crisps etc. Then there is this great almighty bang! It sounded like a firework went off inside the conservatory. 95% sure the sound was from inside the house.

We have lots of fairy lights in glass bottles and Christmas lights switched on. We weren’t in the kitchen so couldn’t have been fridge freezer, oven or extractor fan. Not in the living room so couldn’t have been the chimney.

The wind is still blowing strong at 55mph so maybe it was one of the window units. All I can think is, that or maybe the battery exploded in one of the fairy lights. Turned them all off and isolated the electricity to the conservatory and we have moved rooms now

But what on earth was it? I can’t help but worry - it was so loud, and really gave us all a fright!

That is really weird!

I know! I kind of crept into the kitchen expecting to see a window smashed or something dramatic. Instead it was a sad looking shattered washing up brush

Last time something like this happened to us, the coving had detached from the ceiling and the wall. Made a heck of a loud CRACK and sent little fragments of plaster showering down. We thought it was a glass falling and smashing on the floor.
