      Well that is a right old state of affairs ennit :noidea: Have you put the heating up to hasten the defrost? Can you cadge freezer space from the neighbours?
      Whatever is biting you at the moment seems to be operating in this neck of the woods too - it`s driving me up the wall. I`m thinking my problem is from ants. Only have to walk outside for a few minutes and there`s another ugly sod sitting on my shoulder giving me the old one two.
      What is going on... even the ''skin so soft'' doesn`t seem to help :itchy:

        We've put what we can into the chest freezer and the rest into the fridge. Some stuff has had to be left out. I now need to defrost things quickly (book says it takes up to 48 hours to defrost all the coil thingies. I'm put pans of hot water into the freezer and using the hair dryer lightly on the works at the back. :fingers crossed:

            Aloha everyone,

            Freezer is up and running again and I'm, sort of, catching up on paperwork. Just going to try a bit of gardening.

            Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

            Aloha!

                  Aloha everyone,

                  @wiseowl you're getting on well with the change in the garden :blue thumb:. Do you have to lug the bags of chippings up those steps :phew: or is there an easier way to get them to your garden? I'd never manage it! :sad:

                  Last night Mrs Shiney asked me to do something this morning but I can't think what it is :doh:. I'll have to wait until I wake her later on.

                  I'm working on writing a list of things to ask the car salesman about my new car when I get it tomorrow. It will have a lot of these new (not really wanted) mod cons. I've been reading the list of things that come as standard and only understand about 50% of them. Do I really want to be able to talk to the car and tell it what to do? :dunno: Do I have to have a smart phone plugged in to be able to talk to it - because I have no intention of getting one. So all the Blue Tooth facilities(whatever that is - think it may need a dentist) won't be available. I don't reaslly want it to go and slam on my brakes if it sees someone stepping into the road 150ft ahead - as happened with a friends car. I'm quite capable of judging whether I need to slow down or not. What I really wanted on the car, and the salesman said I can't have, is a machine gun that pops out of the boot and aims directly at tailgaters!

                  Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

                  Aloha!
