Message in a bottle
On Wednesday morning my flaming smoke alarm went of about 2am and was eventually disconnected around three because it was obviously faulty after 7 times. I rang HH about a replacement and guess what they weren't very interested and said they pass my details onto the Fire Service. By yesterday morning I hadn't heard anything so I rang them myself, seeing I'm disabled living alone it was a priority and was told it would be taken care of that day. I had a call around 6-15pm and they said they were calling within the hour which they did, took 2 minutes to fit, and the fire prevention officer did a safety check of my home which passed with flying colours, none smoker no chip pan, no lecky blanket proper plugs and extensions etc. He then mentioned "Message in a bottle" heh, its a scheme funded by the Lions whereas you have this container and inside there's a leaflet on which you put all your relative details medications allergies and other info, you then put the leaflet in the container, then put the top on, there are two stickers one which is placed on the window on the outside of your front door and the other on your fridge door then put the container in the fridge. its so that if Paramedics are called to your home they see the sticker and can then get your relative details so they can administer treatments without compromising anything, a great idea and well worth it, I'm sure these things will be available from GPs or Chemist, for anyone interested
