Hi over the last couple of days I keep noticing an intermittent burning smell at the top of the stairs at home.
I noticed it yesterday but seemed to forget about it, then I noticed it this morning when I was upstairs sorting out washing.
Anyway, I googled it as it's kind of like a burning electrical/rubber smell and the first thing that comes up is brain tumour/seizures so now I'm terrified.
My husband changed the lightbulb at the top of the landing on Saturday and that light is left on most of the time as our stairs are really dark and my little boy won't go up there if the lights off, so initally I was thinking it was just perhaps something to do with that, now of course I've forgotten all about that and am convinced I have a brain tumour.
I'm trying to calm down about this and tell myself it could be just where the lightbulb is really hot through being left on all the time or as it's just been changed there could be a problem with the light switch or something, but I can fell my HA spiralling out of control!:weep:
