Allotments 4 All

OH left the freezer door open again >:( :'(
It's not the first time he's done it >:( :'( He's done it loads of times. I keep telling him!
I have just had to dump a freezer load of soggy food along with my allotment frozen produce!
I keep telling him not to slam the freezer door to close it! >:(
I AM OFF TO THE ALLOTMENT :(

Duke :'(
I think I am ok now :-X

Grrrrrr

Can you cook any of it and re-freeze it?

Get him to pay for replacements!

p.s. I know how gutted you feel, as I once did it myself... :(  :'(

time you got a new one.

eat what you canr. Share it round the neighbours. everyone appreciates free food, dont waste it.

Our freezer broke down earlier this year, managed to salvage some. kept us in food for quite a few days and shared the rest

Watch that your freezer hasnt suffered from being left open. That I think is part of the reason mine died

Get your OH to pay for a audible freezer temperature alarm. Some of the expensive makes of freezer have audible alarms.

Can't you claim from your house insurance? you may get away with it the first time.

Last time I claimed for a small amount of damage to my property and my insurance premiums went up consideraby. :(

I take it you have an upright freezer. Try adjusting the front screw feet, so the freezer leans back slightly. The door should swing back shut on its own. Bit of a pain about the lost food though.

Bugloss: New what?!

either one or the other. i suppose it's down to which one is in better working order or has the greatest sentimental value

 :o ;D

Yes I would defiantly trade in for a new model.     ;)

I have decided to keep him. :P He is useful around the allotment and around the house too.
I was so angry this morning that I nearly sawed his golf clubs in half. :-X

See if you can get locks

http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/80108935 we have these to stop littleone getting into things but we have it on the freezer door as well so you cant leave it open as you have to close and lock it. Might be an answer for you. You can get simuar type ones made by a company called babydan on amazon or kiddiecare.

Very pleased you decided to keep other half :) Now is however the time to get him to do the jobs hes been putting off while tail is between legs :) take care.

OH done that  >:(

He specialises in leaving hobs on or turning the wrong one on. It can be very messy... not to say I haven't done this too  :(

Cooks well though  :)

My fridge freezer is clever it has an alarm on it.  Leave the door not quite shut or take too long getting something out or in and it bleeps.

Yep ours is the same but you will find the door can still be open a little and the alarm will not go off as i found out 2 hours later :(

Poor you, you must have been so upset, but I love this post!!

Duke has an allotment just along from me and her OH has built some wonderful things for her, he is very clever :)

Clever or not put him in the stocks   ;D
