Good Job I Came Back Early

My friend and I were helping another elderly friend with a hospital appointment. The
older friend was having her cataracts done. My friend was took her early and I was going back later to help the old lady out of the hospital and back home.
While waiting for our older friends call from the hospital my friends husband got back early from golf and announced he would pick her up. Since he had cut his golf short I decided to let him go instead of me and came home.
As I walked through the door I could smell something ,then realising I had left the gas on low went to the cooker only to discover the liver and bacon I had cooked for my husbands dinner was stuck to pan. If I had gone onto the hospital with my friend to pick our other friend up my house would have probably caught alight.
I had forgotten to turn the gas off !!
The funny thing is I got up extra early to cook my hubbys dinner as I thought I would still be at the hospital picking up our old friend. He ended up with egg and chips . It was weird because something told me to get home fast.

I'm glad you got home in time. I have don't that too. I think I we only do it once since It has never happened again. It was pretty scary to see smoke and the smell of burning food...

Something brought me home early and so glad it did. Funnily enough I felt uncomfortable at my friends house. It makes me go cold when I think about it. Hubby has just finished doing up the kitchen for me as well. He would have been well cheesed off if I had burnt it out.

Lucky you! It was scary to think of the what ifs. In the city i live in, houses get burned down almost every week and I pray to God that won't ever happen to me. Be careful next time.

@suzzy3 Yes suzzy..it is shocking to someone when this happens. I too am very careful, but we can all be victim that is for sure. I am happy it did not turn out badly..you were blessed.
