  • I have to admit to being AR for years about my freezer :p
    I have a label maker with everything programmed so it's easy to whip up a few labels for new freezer friends + a printed list of everything I have in it, stuck to it, with quantities and colour sections (meat, fish, dessert, frozen meals etc) .... I wish I was slightly more embarrassed about the silly lengths I go to - but I love it :j
    That.... Sounds.... Amazing! I hope your freezer knows how spoilt it is. ;) But why, I ask, WHY is my printer broken at such a time? What fun we could be having! :( One day.... one day! ;)

MFW approx 78% to go | FIRE 3 years worth (30% savings rate: now aiming for 40%!) | Normality is a paved road; it's comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it | Whatever you're meant to do, do it now.

  • I've found a potential new property! :j

    Click, click, click here to see. Thinking long term, I think we'll get quite far with it and it should definitely take us places. I just need to raise a few extra pennies. What can I say, I love it to the moon and back! :smileyhea :smileyhea
