Ladies, ironing can kill.

Visited the parents today, where I walked into an odd situation.

By no fault of her own (crazy to believe), my Mum had a little accident while ironing. The iron was not left sitting over time neither was it used wrongly, when suddenly it decided to melt from the inside.

It was a cheap non frills iron from Asda which melted its metal element, turning it into molten steel dripping everywhere, burning holes though everything. Thankfully she quickly took her shoe off.

Suffice to say a claim is being filed against Asda for new carpets, shoes, iron & oddly enough the George jumper being ironed. This could have been a lot worse.

* just imagine what temperatures it was at to melt metal, scary stuff.
