Anything Else ?
Before you do anything use this opportunity twice a year to check your smoke alarm batteries. Having a smoke alarm in your house is all very good but if your batteries are flat then it isn't going to help to save your life in a fire. Press the button on the front of the alarm and see if it beeps. If it doesn't, then get some new batteries online now.
