I wish i had read this before i made toast yesterday morning.....My 2 year old son had put a pop-top lid in the toaster. I didn't check it beforehand and soon smelt burning plastic..... :bad-words: Title: Re: For the Mum's Post by: fizzybubbles on Sunday 10 February 2008, 04:11:07 pm ha ha we have an ancient 1950's beer fridge with the tiniest freezer compartment that we don't use because it's always in the process of freezing over or just a mass of ice. when we moved last and let it defrost i found an amazing number of plastic soldiers and asstd other toys emerging from the ice like pre-historic man...
...and when i started to work on the garden in the new house i found a burial site full of dismembered, incinerated plastic soldiers obviously left there by the last lot of kids... it must be a universal kid-thing. |
