    I'm on the lookout for a new fridge freezer. The catch is that I need to store it in my integrated garage, so low temperatures in Winter. I can see on some sites (ao.com helpfully shows the info) that the cheapest models need to be in rooms at least 16 degrees, spending an extra £50 gives me some that can cope at 10 degrees.

    In the depths of winter, I'm sure my garage will drop below that, but at least it won't be as cold as a shed. Do you think it is safe?

    Marks sparks - new offers day - check your offers with care some have the full 2weeks expiry and some only one week or even less

    OH has spend £25 on t-shirts and polos save £5

    I've got spend £65 on coats and save £10

    Also on the other card spend £30 on knitwear and save £6

    get £1 off the new collection Italian meals whatever they are - with only 5 days usage

    Spend £5 on meat save £1

    It looks like Marks are killing off the £10 meal deal - this weeks its £10 again instead of £12 but no wine, very poor selection of mains and puds and you can choose 2 sides - an extra side is not the equivalent of a bottle of wine :(

    When I researched this Beko came top for outdoor use. As low as -15 degrees :cool:

    I ended up with just their huge chest freezer though and it was happy all through the last bitter winter :)

    Good morning all, another lovely day here.

    Off down Ts this morning, I believe a few offers ended at midnight …………….

    I have been set a challenge by DD, her fianc! wants some BOSE QUIETCOMFORT 35 SERIES II headphones for his birthday, cheapest I can find is £287 outside of Ebay, anyone know where she can find them cheaper please?

    And no, he won't be swayed, and these do have very good reviews.

    Have you tried the outlet? They are excellent headphones, especially when flying.

    Not sure if it's the same for ff but Beko freezers work well (and covered under insurance policies) for use in garages or outbuildings.

    The big stores will still stock them.

    Thanks but think I may have been too late as the big Ts extra near me had none reduced when I popped in there few days ago.

    Maybe they were very popular this year :)

    One on its way from As George, was another sweaty Betty night for me :o

    I have had a Beko upright freezer in my garage for a few years ( including the year we had a week of -15C) with no problems
