That.... Sounds.... Amazing! I hope your freezer knows how spoilt it is.janineh1982 wrote: »I have to admit to being AR for years about my freezer
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
But why, I ask, WHY is my printer broken at such a time? What fun we could be having!
