Defrost the freezer at holiday time

Hi all,
I'm not sure if I should post this here or under utilities. Also maybe someone has suggested this before so apols if that is the case.
My freezer is approaching the stage where it needs a defrost. I also go on holiday soon. It dawned on me the that I should run down the contents of the freezer to make the defrost coincide with when I go away. That way I won't need to keep the freezer powered on while I am off enjoying myself. Its easy enough to have some food that stores in the cupboard so I have something to eat when I get back before I hoover on down to the supermarket.
Cheers.

Don't forget to prop the door open while you're away: Empty switched-off freezers get strangely reesty when they're left sealed up!:)0

Better solution - throw the freezer out and get a frost free one. Maybe not the Money Saving approach but certainly the Hassle Saving one (and possibly Cat Saving?)

You could always bait the freezer

Hi all,
Thanks for your various replies. To respond:-
* I defrosted before I went away so all was mopped up
* I don't live in a flat
* I (sadly) don't have a moggie nor any other pets
Regards,
