to remind you to check your smoke alarms?

[PerkingFaintly]

No, obviously I'm not!

Special reminder this year for those who've lost some sense of smell because of covid.

(Inspired by the MNer whose grill nearly went up and she hadn't smelt a thing. www.mumsnet.com/Talk/coronavirus/4422370-check-your-smoke-alarms)

Best wishes to you all you lovely vipers for a safe and cheery Christmas.

YANBU at all.

Just giving this a little bump.

No loss of smell here but a brilliant idea esp given that.

I'll take the nudge and remind my family.

Just commenting to bump it again.

Mine work too well sometimes!
But happy to bump this as it is so important.

Mine gets tested every time we use the grill.

I thought this was going to be because of all the turkeys being burnt 😂

I really wish there was more awareness around this time of year to check your smoke alarms. So many electrical items and dry Christmas trees are a real fire hazard!

I first realised that I'd lost my sense of smell after burning a pizza to a crisp.
My sense of smell is still a bit dodgy, both me and my son could smell burning in the house recently and couldn't figure out what it was, only to find it was boiling onions that smelled smoky to us. Weird.

Yep. We bought a house with wired in alarms. Found out 6 months later that they were 4 years out of date.

Mine regularly gets tested by my attempts at cooking

Thank you will do

Late night bump. Because I can.

1st if the month,every month.

I used to leave LED Christmas Lights on when I went out (but not the traditional ones), however, since the fire that killed the 4 young boys (last I heard it was said to be the Christmas lights around the front door) I have even been turning the LED's off.

& I'll check mine again tomorrow

Thanks.

'Nother little bump.

Bump.
