What was your last purchase?

A new freezer, just now. Mine has died and it's a total disaster.

Oh Pegg, I  know just how you feel, my fridge/freezer died just a few days before xmas.  Thankfully, after 24 hours of panic and rather a lot of ice-cream, a local business came up trumps and delivered one on Dec 23rd.  Phew!

Oh, I've had the panic and the ice cream! I rely on my freezer so much - aargh! 

Fortunately it will not, apparently, take so long to acquire a new one as I had dreaded it would - in my mind it was going to be a week st least and cause untold woe - but in reality, it should arrive on Saturday.

I don't know how much I need to throw away, some, I expect- my research project for this evening! 

That sounds complicated, because I don't know much about freezers.

As I am now getting a new one, perhaps I'll learn more. 

Aren't freezers meant to be frosty? 

Our frost free freezer stopped working a while back but eventually it turned out that "frost free" actually takes the frost and compresses it into rock hard ice inside areas you cannot get to, but when the thing was allowed to defrost (O.K. helped along by me using hot air etc because I'm impatient) and the copious flooding that produced dealt with, our "frost free" fridge came back to life!
