And it was this one. Lots and lots of room for fresh produce which we love to eat, a slimmer side for freezer stuff that we need handy in the kitchen to supplement the big chest freezer which will be living outside in the workshop soon and a brilliant energy efficiency rating ... it's also ice free which is a godsend and wasn't as expensive as we thought it was going to be.<br /><br />My dream fridge/freezer. :-)Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-68101127204544603692015-01-13T12:55:36.816+00:002015-01-13T12:55:36.816+00:00'genius Sue' ....

I freeze stilton and then grate it from the block, much easier than when it is fresh. I am only buying fruit and veg at the moment, and a few eggs now and again, the freezer is stuffed and needs working through.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406981075860636289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-83593243335413325792015-01-13T11:37:30.630+00:002015-01-13T11:37:30.630+00:00Definitely agree with everything you wrote.
