Lots of good ideas, sadly I dont have a shed or garage but am thinking I could use an old (unplugged in) fridge outside with ice packs as an ice box. Im obv not the only one whos had this problem!
Many thanks again.

No you are not, I have two coolboxes, that are ancient, busted handles, scratched to glory be... kept just for christmas! I freeze old plastic milk cartons full of water (leave a little bit of room at the top for expansion). They will stay frozen for longer than coolpacks or ice cubes.

If I need even extra chillin' room I use a plastic storage crate add the frozen milk bottles, add the food, put the lid on and wrap the whole thing in a bin bag and then all the spare duvets, blankets and whatever I can find to insulate the outside with.

I chill bottle of drinks in a bucket filled with cold water and loads of chopped ice. Need I say we don't do posh in our house??LOL.

My mother puts a lot stuff outside (she has a balcony). Everything is shut and sealed properly. I would just put some food outside in the garden.
