RIP vacuum.

So I'm vacuuming the kitchen floor, and I've plugged the vacuum in the power socket next to the stove and all was good until I could smell something burning. I thought it was the vacuum, because it had been so long since any of us had given it a workout, so I didn't think any more to it. Until the smell got seriously bad, and even my Dad came to add his opinion as to the origin of the smell.
Then we look over at the power socket and the whole thing is ALIGHT and the cord (the bit that gets sucked into the vacuum when you've finished using it) which is on FIRE comes whizzing towards me and I'm screaming. It turns out that the cord got dragged into the stove (which was on, with our wok on it) when I was pulling the vacuum around the kitchen and the fire melted the plastic and ate through the wire which broke in two. Then Dad gave me the lecture on how to be more careful when doing household tasks and how electricity and fire don't go together LOL.
Well. I guess I won't be doing any more housework soon, specifically vacuuming. Come to think of it, noone in my house will be doing any more vacuuming. Sorry about the bad quality upside down pic, thats what happens when you use a 3mp camera on your phone.
