I never keep squash in the fridge!
It'd be warm if kept outside - and, it has to go somewhere - and the fridge is the only place I've room for it.
I keep the squash in the fridge AND the beakers I drink it from - and the jug I make it up in; I typically make 1 litre up at a time, kept in a jug in the fridge - and the empty/clean jug is kept in the fridge... so everything's cold when I make it
Nowt worse than a beaker of warm squash. 0 -
We keep a jug of water in the fridge.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0

Posh alert- we now have a fridge with a water dispenser so we don't even have to open the door to get a jug out. I keep forgetting though so normally just use the tap. Keep forgetting to fill the dispenser up too.
I've just started keeping the squash bottles in the fridge to remind me they exist. I'm also pretty much teetotal which is just as well as I'm married to an alcoholic. We'd be bankrupt if we both drank. Not very MSE.Spend less now, work less later.0 -

It'd worry me around issues like how long the water'd been in there - and was I cleaning it thoroughly ... or would nasties build up over time that are killers.0 -

I have to say that would worry me too. Partly why we decided against a water dispenser when we bought the big fridge/freezer for home. Plus they take up space that we need for other stuff.
The fridge in the kitchen is built in under work surface and isn't very large, and no freezer space at all. So the big fridge is in the utility room, used for stuff we don't use every day and to store extra milk, butter etc.0 -
Gate, that was warped/leaning, has been realigned - and the retaining post re-secured.... bolt fitted.
Now the painting starts... obviously/clearly not me as I'm here typing about it and not joining in.
I might join in, but I'd want to be a help, not a hindrance, so we'll see how that goes as it progresses.
Might need him for a 3rd morning, but until it's 1pm and we can see where we're at I won't know .... and then I'll have to negotiate which day he'd be able to come back...
Just awaiting vacuum pack bags on click/collect to move things to the next stage .... and then I'm close to being on the home run!0 -

I don't drink much Shloer at home, but it's my usual thing to take when bottles are required.We keep a jug of water in the fridge.

I need to arrange that for my gate. Must get on to Helpful Builder (who lives down the road and also does odd jobs for me).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.

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 -

Has he changed the bulb holders so you can use standard light bulbs?No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -

No, he's not an electrician. He did undo my bathroom ceiling lamp holder and remove the dead bulb (30 seconds) .... which is handy as he didn't even need a ladder and I'd have faffed up a ladder to do that. Now it's exposed/undone I can buy a new bulb, clean up that holder and refit it myself. I just didn't want the danger of faffing up a ladder to work out how to undo the darned thing He had to have 4-5 goes at faffing to solve the mystery of how you undo that type.
Need a 3rd half day, he's coming again Monday. That'll be it though. Anything left after that I'll have to do myself....
Oh b4lls. He painted the front door bits - not the whole thing, but now it's nearly dry it looks like the whole door will need doing - and would you credit it, it's just started raining on that s0ddin' door. Hopefully at an angle that makes the painted bit protected by the canopy0
