Just a thought on freezers....do you still need to keep them unplugged after travelling with them or doesn’t that apply anymore. I remember when we moved here - we used all the contents and had to keep it unplugged for about 24 hours. But I’m going back a lonnnnnng time here.January spends - £587.581

I don’t know milann I hear that as well mine is a frost free one don’t know if that makes any difference I know when I moved into this house I emptied it but plugged it straight back in when we got here don’t know if that was right or wrong and it was also 32 years ago0

I don’t think I’ll be back in the office until September at the earliest. They’re prioritising people who can’t comfortably work from home and people with mental health issues, rightly so though. I’m looking forward to seeing my colleagues again. It’s been really hot here today, too hot for my dog, but I love it.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)1

Thanks Sarah I have decided I will run the freezer down now just to be on the safe side and anything I do have left in it can go in my cool bag should be alright for a couple of hours0
