however it is with a heavy heart and churning in my stomach that I write this.
on arriving home I was greeted by my OH, he looked quite anxious. I can understand why once the full horror of what happened unfolded.
Freezer door open two shelves of food defrosted and now currently in my bin.
To say I am gutted is an understatement. I just hope I can sleep ok tonight.
Poor you. Think of the positives. Get to that whoopsie counter and fill it up for pennies! An excuse to go a few times. You could claim on your household insurance but personally I don't think it's worth it unless you had mega amounts of meat in there.0 -

I withdrew £18 odd last week and £13 today just from clicksnap CB, so it's not as an incentive to temp people back who might not have used it for a while..........
Its definitely not that as I've not really used clicksnap in months and I haven't got the £10 offer
I've not even got the 50p one!!Historic Debt August 2009 = £63,600 10th March 2017 = £0 100% paid all gone!

Morning all :wave:
Just been for a nice walk with Tessa (my dog) along the thames before it gets too hot.
A huge thank you to each and everyone that voted for Holly. She won :j:j There was a lot of disputing and verifying going on because at first they said she was 2nd. Today has been confirmed she won though
