Defrosting

The fridge was so badly iced up it took nearly 24 hours to defrost. My excuse for having neglected it so long is that there's never a good time to have souring bottles of milk and softening packets of butter standing around on the kitchen tops.

The fridge has a small freezer compartment we don't use. We keep it full of blocks of polystyrene to stop the engine labouring round the clock to solidify all that empty air.

You don't freeze anything?
There is so much you can freeze when it's on special at the grocery!

Ah no, we have a separate freezer for our frozen stuff- and it's full.

Well, that makes sense then!
