    Hi there everyone, Happy Friday

    I have something to admit..............

    Freezer tetris has me beat!!

    Thought it would be a good idea to do a freezer audit as I knew I had just jammed in meat over the last month without really knowing what was going where.

    We have two freezers and here lies the problem - one is in the kitchen and it is well behaved. The other is in the utility, alone and I am now convinced that in the dark, all the contents move around and hide (I did tell you about my drugs, didn't I?)

    I have just emptied both and have enough meat for the next two months - great!! But when I have split the packs, I haven't labelled them well (again, it's the utility freezer with 8 labels on shelves and not on packs)

    Am I the only person to be beaten by a freezer?

    And, yes, it's diversionary activity as I haven't got my biopsy results yet

    P

    No, I have 3 and am usually fighting and failing miserably with mine daily :o
    I rather cleverly threw all the meat in the meat freezer in unlabelled bags and now we play 'guess the meat' every Sunday :rotfl:

    Well done on the whoopsies Locarr. If your store is anything like mine, you either have very sharp elbows or very long arms :)

    I've given up myself, though do have a look when nobody else is around. I find it all very sad on many accounts, I really hope those people aren't as desperate for food as they behave they are :(

    There was just one other Guy with his daughter when the reduction lady came out, so all very civilised!:D

    they had load of those new grazeboxes of fresh meals but left them as would just go to waste, same with the strawbs, there was literally crates of them and I could have had dozens but only took 3 as again would go to waste...much rather someone who could use them have them...like you do!:cool:

    Hmmmm something very strange has just happened in t...

    I did my shop, was expecting a £4 ish pp...none popped out...

    I asked the s/a..she said a message had just gone on her screen to tell the customer "it was the same"....

    But still no little pieces of paper to say this...strange

    Just logged receipt in online and it says my results aren't ready yet!!!

    Has this happened to anyone else?

    RootedNomad, I found the fabs with 12 in thankyou:T

    At the moment I'm not sure. You can hire tins that are *ahem* straight or curved and I'm getting these candles to put... well I think you can guess where! Morning all :)

    Hi,

    I just found an old (November) pack of sausages in freezer. They are defrosting for a casserole tonight...but I'm a bit scared of them. Any advice?

    Once defrosted, cook them thoroughly. I've eaten older than that. obviously if they actually smell off after cooking, don't touch them.
