  • if you have raw frozen meat in there you could cook it and freeze it to eat at a later date.
    if you have anything in the freezer that has already been cooked you'll have to eat it asap.

    I can come round for the icecream :)

    If its in a bad way and you really have to use everything up could you arrange a sort of swap with understanding relatives? They would get some cooked food today and swap with something from their freezer to restock yours :confused:

    oops cross posted

    Buffet for dinner and leftovers next week then? Most of those foods will be nice cold - pizza is a good lunch option with salad :D

    And no icecream :rotfl:

    the rosti (in oven now)
    all 4 pizzas
    chicken dippers
    crumpets
    bagels
