I feel for ya buddy! Basically get the loudest smoke alarms you can find - it will get through the ear plugs (believe me, I know!). Unless you live in one room, have more than one smoke alarm - the landing and the hallway at a minimum. I'd also have one in the bedroom and if possible get the ones that are interlinked, then if one goes off, they all go off! And the cats scarper....! Mine also have a light that comes on which is quite bright so even if the sound doesn't get through the plugs and the wax, the change in light levels might. Remember to check the batteries regularly (once a month). And replace them immediately...(says she who has just remembered that in the wee hours of Monday morning she disconnected one of the batteries as it was beeping and hasn't actually yet replaced it...baaaaaad ukprepprgrrl, baaaaad).bow wrote:i have a confession lol the mrs snores like a Dyson sucks the dust ,, i sleep with ear plugs in, i can't hear shit when kipping,,,
These are not cheap, but the most likely thing that will happen to you is a house fire. It's not sexy and (generally) doesn't involve knives, but you are far, far more likely to die in a house fire than at the hands of the Zombie hordes. The carrot at the end of the stick, if you like, is that if you wake in the night with the smoke alarms ringing, and the flames coming up your stairs, then you grab the Missus and your BOB filled with sexy survival kit, and head out into the wilderness. Or to your neighbours. Whichever.
Right...off to get the ladder to replace the battery....!
