Not a posh alert, quite the opposite, but we have three freezers, needed for all the produce we grow and bulk cooking and all that.
Same here. I have a medium size chest freezer, a larger chest freezer and the bottom half of a 5' fridge freezer - for much the same reasons.
I do, however, still have to actually produce enough crops to fill them - hopefully the work I did on the veggie beds last autumn will come good and the crop yield/quality improve. Time will tell.0 -
No, you can't put that in one of my freezers :rotfl:0

We've very recently unstalled a Nest Outside camera on a project. In two weeks we've caught:
our site manager spending 40 minutes trying to get into his flat, drunk, and falling over. The neighbours had to come and let him in as he couldn't work his key.
Someone breaking the wing mirror off our van and driving off.
5am this morning, someone helping themselves to the contents of a Volvo parked outside.
9.40 this morning, the policeman arriving after we called them.
Probably out of your budget but it's easy to install and alerts you when it sees someone.

Wow! :eek:Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)
Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -
Thanks Viva, I do enjoy a little flutter very occasionally. Might a risk fiver each way, it'll make it more interesting if I end up watching it!“I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled.” - P.G. Wodehouse0

Fed up. Power was off last night due to a power cut. Has been off again since 4pm due to another power cut. Was due to go back on between 6.30;and 7.30, but have hit a water pipe, so now the power company needs the water company to come to site to make the pipe safe, before they can make the electricity safe and put the power back on. Could be any length of time.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

I don't have any such box, but I do have a couple of those cheap/plastic LED battery lights that I keep on the floor under the fusebox ... because that's where I'd want to use them if I ever needed to look to see if a switch had tripped.0
