    Think we've got a few things in the freezer, to use up as well. Things seem to go into our freezer and not come back out again.

    I had a freezer that was a black hole too, until I got the idea of one draw/basket of the things I wanted to use quickly. When it started to get low, I 'd explore the depths and have another expedition to find what I could to top it up with. Before this I used to grab the handy things on top, and bits just got forgotten :o Admittedly with both working it's still not easy to remember to get things out to defrost the night before, and some things don't like being zapped in the microwave.

    I had a similar system with packet goods too, I had a shelf where I put the packets nearing their sellby date, I do like trying new things, but sometimes I used to put off trying them too long until I did this :o

    Hope you find some nice goodies in the freezer!
