Cooker All Smashed UP! To claim or not to claim.....

The pot shelf above my cooker fell down today of its own accord and smashed up our ceramic glass-topped cooker! Poor doggie almost had a heart attack! I phoned insurer and there is a £250 excess so I am wondering if I should just buy a new cooker on credit. Any advice welcome.

My son has both a pacemaker and an induction hob.

He spoke to his pacemaker team before the kitchen was refitted and they asked him if he was in the habit of lying on his hob. They apparently said just don't get too close (I think he said 30cms is fine but this was a while ago and i could be wrong!).

His phone though does not live in his breast pocket and he keeps his electric toothbrush well away from his chest.

DH thought it might be a good idea to get an induction hob, NotSpaghetti, then I wouldn't ask him to cook.

Don't fall for it!
