I left a heating pad on for about an hour in the floor on top of my NEW house slippers and came back to a melted heating pad and a burnt house slipper and burnt carpet. We're lucky that we found it before we left for work that morning. Can you imagine? I threw away that heating pad and bought one with an automatic shut off on it.

This makes me think of-- Do they still make electric blankets? James and I were just discussing them the other night- saying wouldn't one be nice- but my mom woulkd never let us have them- said they were a fire hazard she thought. Yikes! Better your slipper then you tough!
omg you are so lucky... both of my heating pads turn off on their own...
So what do your new slippers look like?
Oh my gosh! That could have been devistating. It's kind of a Christmas miracle, if you think about it.
