Life Lesson #437

Don't try and recharge regular batteries.

Okay it was a mistake - I didn't look at it but within 15 minutes it made the most incredible pop (kinda like a high pitched gun shot that is still reverberating around my head an hour later) and the battery began to ooze. Despite previous silly things (see the spider hole incident) I didn't touch what I assume was the battery acid. Oh and my recharger blew up too.

Sigh, you live and learn :-)

Glad you're OK. Opps!
I threw out all of our rechargeable batteries thinking they were the ordinary ones. Maybe if we split the difference we'll both be able to cope with the whole, rechargeable concept from now on? lol

My ear still hurts but otherwise, yes apart form being redfaced, I'm fine lol.

I like your plan though :-)

Great to have your company here Alison - you are a breathe of fresh air and happiness :-)
