Hey - There's some weird **** going down at my house - From Exploding lamps to blowing bulbs but this last thing has got me a little concerned.
Today when I was downstairs playing a computer game (Rez) whilst I was sitting down all of a sudden the power tripped. I thought ok, there must be a power cut or water had touched the kettle lead as I seen water next to the kettle lead but failed to tell anyone. Anyway as I went to check the street, I noticed it was just our house that was out, dam! Popped into the garage and flipped the trip swith back up but it wouldn't stay on. So went though every switch flippin them one by one till eventually they all went back up.
However when I went upstairs it smelt like something had burnt out (It was that electrical smell I got when my lamp / iron had blown) But I can't find the source Everything in my room where the smell was strongest still works and nothing smells of burning. The only thing I can think of is the airing cupboard right next to my room but our heaters still work.
Any ideas?
I should add that the burning smell is not present at the moment, just earlier. - Will it actually make a difference if I don't find the source - Is something likely to happen?
