    Mrs Chaos ~ That's a really good weight for twins, sending my good thoughts and prayers for a safe delivery.

    Sandy ~ Sending get well thoughts, I'd have discharged myself as well, I find sleeping in hospitals a real challenge.

    Tomorrow will be day 9 of the electricians re-wiring....I've asked him if he will be here for Christmas :D......Maybe I'm giving him too many cups of tea and biscuits..........I'm actually doing a lot of housework but it's hard to fit it into the flylady lists as it mainly involves wiping down and vaccuuming after my rather expensive house guest.

    Question re defrosting freezer - how do other people keep their frozen stuff from defrosting the best way?

    Hey nutty,

    I stick all the food into black bin bags (the strong type), then put the black bin bags inside a thick sleeping bag (or spare duvet if you've got one) and it will keep properly frozen for a good few hours.
