  • No telling off, if you see a thing you were going to get anyway for cheaper and you can afford it that sounds good! Well done on not touching the car pot. You did measure the space though right 😁

    Yes Pennys we did, but a good shout 😅 it fits the hole perfectly and is very similar in outside size to the current one, but has a bit more space inside (excellent newer technology). It doesn’t have door handles either so will look a bit more streamlined. It should fit in lots of chocolate salad 😬

  • I’m glad I’m not the only one who uses the salad drawers for chocolate 😂 a bigger fridge means more chocolate so definitely not telling you off!!

    My current one has 3 big drawers…salad, meat, chocolate (not necessarily in that order), but unfortunately all the new ones I looked at only had 2 drawers 🤔 Oh well, I’m sure the salad will fit somewhere 🤣

    I don't keep chocolate in the fridge!  There'd never be enough space :D

    Sacrifice something non essential like vegetables 🤭 I just love cold chocolate. Chocolate biscuits are a step too far though as the biscuit goes soft 😖

    Well we are over the hump, so it’s not all bad. I have booked Friday off and only then realised it is a bank holiday on Monday, so I have a lovely 4 day weekend to look forward to.
    It isn’t raining here yet, but it’s overcast and it was easier to get some steps in on the walking pad after lunch, than to sneak out without the hound spotting me (or have the issue of trying to get her to stand up in time to get back to my desk).
    it’s one week to fridge day and I’m oddly excited 😅
    I hope you are all having a happy Wednesday ☀️

    I think you'd set your heart on a new fridge hadn't you 🙂 Good that you managed to find a less expensive one in the end. 

    How lovely to have a nice 4 day weekend to look forward to.

    I’ve got mega fridge envy. Enjoy all the cool chocolate disguised as chocolate 👍 You’ve worked out how you’ll pay for it and it’s no good waiting for your old one to give in and wasting lots of food should it fail unexpected. Better to spend cash on something like that than late night frittering on t’internet.
    Well done getting steps in. You’ll have to buddy up with the lady you met and find some new walks…presuming the dogs all get on ( or do you leave yours at home)
