    When I want to defrost my 300 litre freezer I put the frozen food in bags in a pile under a duvet. I defrost the freezer with a mini steam cleaner so it is done quickly, stuff is normally out of the freezer for no more than 2 hours.

    Ah thanks what a good idea. It has only just got to the stage it needs defrosting as Mr TS left something in the top of a basket and the lid wasn't shut properly for couple of days until I went out there again, meant there was a rim of ice around the top which I did scrape away with the tool you get but it's also up the insides a bit too.

I hopefully will find some bargains in 2018 to share

    Very very impressed:)

    We are planning a new kitchen in the new year and I’ve come up with a brilliant idea. I’m thinking that we could replace our built in kitchen freezer with a larger freezer in the garage which will allow me to fully take advantage of whoopsies:D

    I’ve been reading up and it looks like there’s only the Beko brand that will offer a guarantee for garage use. Has anyone else any experience of freezers in their garages?

    PS where did you stash your biscuits? with last year haul!? :)

    Empty quality st wrappers are not as traumatic as empty after eight ones. :p

    Last years haul was all gone, the chocolate and biscuit side of the sideboard was empty for once this year in the absence of any 1p/4p hauls from Ts. I had to actually buy biscuits in December so what I did have lasted well the last box of waities shortbread eaten in November was dated August but fine. :cool:

    That trolley load I posted the other day wasn't all for me btw, it was to be divided between me, 2 of my DD's and a MSE friend. ;)

    Pretty sure it's this one,

    https://www.argos.co.uk/product/4127563


    It has 36 hours power failure storage too. I know that was something else I looked at, think the chest freezers come out better than the upright on power failure storage.

    Thats huge:eek::eek:

    Thanks...I will check it out tomorrow:D

    And mine is full to the brim after my whoopsie shop yesterday. :rotfl:

    Everything was rolling around in it to start with but it's not long before you start having to play games of tetris.

    On the wall in the garage I have a map on a white board where I try to keep an inventory. :D

    Get them put onto one card, much easier that way ;)

    How, please?

    I have spent over £40 on 5 x £3 cards in the past few weeks :).

    No need to extend those :D.

    2 year guarantee. I am sure mine came with a 3 year guarantee, perhaps they have changed it.
    More than happy with my freezer and can highly recommend it.
