    Don't forget you need to give your fridge and freezer 24 hours to settle before switching them on again!

    Oops. Do people actually do this :o

    Well, we did that when we got our last fridge (new to us, had been in storage for a couple of months). I don't think it's an urban legend, like having to have your plasma TV "re-gassed" after a couple of years....:D

    When I bought my fr/freezer a couple of months ago, they just said to give it 2 or 3 hours before I opened the door....

    I gather you have sold your house? Fantastic! I can't wait to read all the details of how rich you are once the sale and purchase are done and dusted. I am guessing you will have a small mortgage and no other debt? *jealous*

    The new place has built in fridge and freezer I think, so no worries about letting it stand! My big American fridge freezer will go in the garage, where it will house tonic water, white wine and beer.....

    Inky - good luck with your move next week!! Fingers crossed for good weather for you x

    Seaxwyn, no debt, but still a big mortgage - I will be borrowing almost as much as I have outstanding on this one, and I think it works out at about £120 less a month on the monthly repayment (plus of course no big loan payments to make either) so all good there.
