I need some people to brainstorm - risks of oil/column heaters

[~clover~]

I love oil heaters. Safest way to go IMO. Won't be using ours this year though. Will have to get the fire to work extra hard to warm the whole house. Am not paying for the extra power!

i feel like a rather crappy mum now.. i just went out and brought an oil/column heater and didnt think of any risks.. was just like "she needs heat.. this is the best way" LOL
but all the things you pointed out, mine seems pretty safe also *phew* LOL

We used one of these too when DS was small... Cost an arm and a leg to run, but it worked a treat. Just make sure whatever floor coverings you have are also safe.
