It's Tetris while you're trying to fit it all in. It's Jenga when you're trying to get bits out without it all falling out 😂

Vapeyvapevape · 23/12/2021 14:20

Yep , fridge Jenga here . I just shove everything in with no thought and then berate myself because the stuff I need now is at the back 🤦‍♀️

'Jengtris' might cover both situations which are currently the state of our fridge and cupboards.

I would love to have this fight at the moment...instead I have to travel for hours tomorrow with a dog who extremely dislikes the car......JOY TO ALL AND ALL THAT.....I would prefer to just sit in my loungewear watching rubbish tv and a microwave meal in a nice quiet clean house without worrying about picking up this bloody virus.....fed up of having to just go along with things just to keep everyone else happy.....doing the complete opposite next year that's for sure

Sainsburys delivery between 4 and 5 so this will be me later.

bilbodog · 23/12/2021 14:40

@bilbodog

Wow you have a lot of cream. Are you making trifle ?

I want to know what is the flavour of the (looks like) home-made jam or chutney on the top shelf ? I'm a preserves nerd and I make many different jams and also buy home made jams when I find them for sale.

We call it Fridge Tetris! Xmas Grin

Yep, desperately eating anything that will clean some space, had soup with left over mashed potatoes and chocolate mousse for lunch. That was... interesting 😂

KittenKong · 23/12/2021 15:34

Ours is always like that anyway.

StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes · 23/12/2021 15:44

We call it fridge origami which actually makes no sense at all. Just had the big shop delivered and everyone slunk away to let me get on with the packing it away. Top shelf out of bounds until ‘ the day’ 😁 DS came down to admire the goods and congratulated me on how i had got it all in! Then he looked outside and saw the bags of beer, wine, fruit and veg and fruit juices 😁 that no way would fit in.

amicissimma · 23/12/2021 15:48

We have our milk delivered. Because there is no delivery at Christmas we had double the usual quantity this morning. All in one pint glass bottles whose lids don't stay on if they're not upright. They take up a huge amount of space, but tend to fall over -and leak - if things are slid in on top of them.

Every year I promise myself I will cancel the order and buy big plastic containers with proper lids. Every year I forget.

BlackeyedSusan · 23/12/2021 15:55

Yep. The car fridge has been started too.the more robust veg are stored in the boot of the car.

ShirleyPhallus · 23/12/2021 15:56

I used to have this problem so bought an American style fridge freezer for our kitchen and moved the single one to the garage. Absolute bliss, no need to fridge jenga and plenty of space for ice / frozen puddings etc too

AuntieStella · 23/12/2021 15:58

Jenga here.

And I'm really wondering how I'm going to fit any more in.

The supermarket delivery is tomorrow.....

superram · 23/12/2021 16:03

Be careful of that double cream, I’ve already had one pot fall out and splatter all over the floor….

FrenchBoule · 23/12/2021 16:22

I forgot to buy cream 😳 ah well, will make trifle after Christmas

bilbodog · 23/12/2021 16:39
