Sorry posting for traffic. This is going to sound so dramatic because no one was hurt or anything but I just can’t get what happened out of my head!
I’ve constantly posted on MN (under different names) about my mouse issue. I cannot catch the little fuckers at all. I have all sorts of traps in my kitchen but nothing works. I’ve had pest control around maybe 3/4 times since summer and the last time they were here, they claimed to close a massive hole in the wall. I thought okay cool maybe this is finally over. Nope, heard and saw a mouse in my room over the weekend. On Sunday, I had a look at the hole and saw that the mouse had found it’s way through.
I’m rambling sorry! Fast forward to now, pest control came round today. The guy was doing whatever needed to be done under one of the kickboards when I heard a loud bang. Walked to the kitchen to see what happened and there was a massive fire underneath the cupboard. I saw sparks flying and everything. I grabbed both the kids from the living room (7 months & 18 months) and stood outside panicking whilst I called 999. I ran out in such a panic that I didn’t grab coats for the kids or slippers for myself or anything. Luckily my next door neighbour was in so she let me stay at her house with my kids until it was safe to go back in.
Everything ended up being okay as the guy put the fire out before the fire brigade had arrived but I just keep seeing it in my head. It was really scary at the time and I just can’t believe that happened. Thank God the guy was okay and just had a few minor burns on his arm. It could have been so much worse for him. No clue why I’ve typed this on MN but maybe I’ll fell less anxious now that I’ve shared this with people!
PS. I hate the bloody mice
