    You binned it all?!? Whenever my freezer randomly defrosts I have a massive cook-a-thon to use it all up. I'll feast for a couple of nights and freeze all the leftover cooked food for another time (assuming you get your freezer to work in a couple of days, because otherwise it'd all be binned after it's cooked, but it's good for up to 3 days)

    its disgusting, its all mush, i doubt you could cook it :( if it was still cold i probably would have chanced it but it isnt.

    not sure i wanna take my chances with raw chicken fish and meat that is all room temp either...

    that and half of the stuff has already half thawed when the freezer stopped working a couple of weeks ago!
  • Spagbol,

    I have just realised I made a bit of a mess with my new total update! I didn't notice until you commented on how it didn't look like it would be too long until I would be clear.

    I told you my total was £7,664.46/£7,813.46. It should have been -


    #138 £149.00/£7,813.46

    I looked at the wrong bit on my spreadsheet when I did my update!! Rather than paying off £7,664.46, this is what I still owe! If I had a brain, I would be dangerous!! :rotfl::rotfl:

    Good news for the OH spag :T

    My team has more work than we have people to do it just now, and we're looking for someone to come in. I'm thinking I should hold off applying for any jobs until we get someone sorted, because if go it'll leave them up the creek without even a spoon to paddle with!

    Might send Mr Spag to you then if the interview doesn't go well!! :p

    Emergency Fund £0/£500
    £365 in 365 Days #18 £520/£520

    It's not bad if it's room temp, as long as it's not been room temp for more than around half a day. It should be used within 24 hours of being taken out the freezer. But if it's been semi-defrosted before, it's better to be safe than sorry!

    Spag definitely - then we could get visits from baby spag! When is his second interview?
