Turned microwave and heater off but when I flipped the breaker on it kept flipping off again so I am thinking perhaps there was a surge that fried some wire or something.
I have no extra money for an electrician but we are to the point I pretty much have to hire one as I have no insurance on the house and it isn't getting better by itself. I'll try to sell a few more model horses and see what happens.

Have you perhaps just blown a fuse in the fuse box? That happened to me recently, one of my lamps just blew (but more like a total BANG) and all the power sockets in my living room and bedroom blew, but the points in the kitchen and all the light switches still worked. I got in a panic but it was just a wire in the fuse box that blew. I got my land agent to call an electrician, and then when my grandfather said he could have done it, my land agent carried on that I wasted her money getting an electrician out for it. Well she needs to toughen the ... up.
So anyway, if that's all it is, it's easily fixed.
