[QUOTE="mhf81, post: 329692, member: 22885"] Ahhh thank you KME for posting that for me and Admin for the upgrade! Prodave, We've never had a fuse blow. We've not usually got too much on at one time... The PC is always on, the kettle is always on, along with a baby food steamer and a little stereo unit... Come the winter, being in an old draughty house, the heating is constantly on. Steve, We've been here for two years after taking over the tenancy from someone else we lived here with.... It's been a year since we took it over. Before, we just didn't really notice much, but now it's ours and we have our little boy, we are obviously more observant and things! I've had a look and I can't see any certificates, just Gas safety ones. They certainly didn't check anything when we took it over. Plugs still need a decent tug to get out of the sockets... The sockets themselves to me look fairly okay, other than some that are very painted and one in the kitchen is barely on the wall it seems but yeah, they don't -look- too bad. It's what's behind them that worries me. Anyway, now I can post them, picture spam incoming! I'll see if I can clamber up to the fusebox and check those and i'll get some more pictures.... I'll be back soon if I don't break my neck! [/QUOTE]
