the one day I can have a long lie in, no trips or meetings or visits planned for the kids, not a lot of housework to do etc, the dratted smoke alarm battery decides it's gonna die ................... and from 5 am goes beep beep .... beep beep ................ and I can't get the footstool out (in one of the kids room who is still fast asleep!! - teenager) to reach to remove the offending battery ???

from a very tired and irritable Minxie ..

actually that's probably the most sensible solution to the problem ............... note to oneself, make sure there is a supply of cotton wool in the bedside cabinet ............

Change the battery every year on bonfire night, works for me. Just make sure it's a bunny battery and not a cheap one!

I once d*unkenly ended up dismantling - violently and permanently - our carbon monoxide alarm... Only to realise that the beeping was from the smoke alarm...

go in and get the footstool cos if they can sleep through the beep then I'm sure they can sleep through you hunting for the stool in their room..

Our local fire fighters put in battery ones. If you are thinking or have a sercurity alarm you can have them put onto them. Advantage of these are if you have a autodialler fitted it lets you know. When my father burns the toast I phone and take the mickey.

You can usually have a couple of smoke detectors added to a alarm system and powered from panel
