Update - some friends came to stay

My poor guests, on arrival at my house last Thursday pointed out what should have been obvious to me - that my freezer (it's a fridge/freezer) could not be closed and the drawers could not be opened. Ooops.

I therefore spent yesterday and today defrosting the freezer so that it will work again. I could, I suppose, have done it while I had guests, but didn't feel that appropriate, though I'm sure that Corylus, Rhakir and Peter wouldn't have minded. At least, not much.

So I now have a lovely, clean, working freezer - but no food to put in it, and two large bags of defrosted food, which couldn't be rescued and put in a cooler as the drawers didn't open.

It only goes to show that as housewives go, I'm a waste of space.
