Fuse Box puzzle....
About 2.30am last night I woke up for some unknown reason. Checked clock radio for the time but it was off. Put bedside lamp on and it wouldn't come on. Checked main bedroom wall light - fine. All wall lights came on fine throughout.
So I figured it was the sockets and checked the fuse box and the socket switch one was off. Switched it back on and everything fine again.
I don't leave any appliance switched on constantly at the sockets except for the fridge freezer (which I didn't check), washer, router (was off), answerphone (was off), clock radio, bedside light and electric toothbrush (were off). (Cooker ok, but that's on a separate fuse and was fine).
I unplug the kettle, toaster and m/wave every night, and I switch off the table lamps, TV and Freesat box at the sockets each evening.
The switch type things with the fuse at the side of it, are constantly on... ie the electric to the CH boiler, the cooker hood and the burglar alarm. I never thought to check those to see if they were off but I remember when I switched on the socket switch in the fuse box I thought I heard a noise in the boiler area as if it was coming on. I can't be sure of that as the a/phone and clock radio were beeping.
All those switches with the fuse by the side of work fine - but I'm not sure (as I didn't check), if they went off too.
I was asleep in bed, so not using any appliance and can't work out what happened.
Everything's fine now but it's puzzling me. Any ideas please?
