Countdown to Christmas 2021: the one where autumn starts (and Strictly - whoop!). Thread 5

[NoWordForFluffy]

119 (for ease tomorrow!)

Here we go. Couldn't think of a witty thread title. Soz!

Did you Hoover the heat exchange plate on the back (outside) to get rid of dust build up?

It's only four months old!

See, I knew I'd missed important news while awol, sorry wreck 🤭

What's the make and model?

Hotpoint H3T811IOX1 SSL

The manual says this:

None of those

Hopefully you get some joy tomorrow then.

Morning!

I still have a slight hangover...probably because I didn't drink enough to rehydrate properly yesterday. 🙈 I'll be OK by Monday, ha ha. 🤣

I always have a dioralyte before going to bed when I've been drinking I swear it makes a difference. Although I can't drink anymore as I'm always sick

Dh is working all weekend again and both dc have homework. Dd has to do five hours a week but it always takes her much longer.

I was a bit, ummmm, refluxy(!) at the gig if I bounced too hard, but wasn't actually sick. I think if I'd had even another mouthful of booze I would've been though!

I think we have dioralyte in the house if my wee still won't go back to a normal colour. 🤣😂

I might walk into town to get some exercise. Maybe.

Well Fluffy you've already had your FullFat Irn Bru so you'll be fine

My Sainsbury delivery arrived and no Bakery Shortcrust Mince Pies were available .

The place in going to Hell-in-a-Handcart I tell ya.

Oh my god, 70, I would be raging, raging I tell you!

FF Irn Bru was non-negotiable! I've just had another dose of squats sausage too, as my friend sent me off with a load of it! ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Square. Jesus, autocorrect is stoopid!

70 I went to Sains this morning...there are definitely bigger gaps today than last time - and being a Saturday I am confident they will be out of milk by 11, and some of the veg looked decidedly sorry for itself.

Wreck did you get your fridge working?

Though it was likely - thinking about it - the time your order was picked. They wouldn't have made any at that time of day.

No they've told me to switch it off and defrost it then turn it back on again if bag doesn't work they can't get anyone out until Monday.

Wreck are you setting the temperature low enough?
Mine has a digital display on the front and its a 'mare to re set if it's been off .

Some things (like ice cream) make the freezer work much harder to keep the temp low .

We haven't changed the temperature the whole time. Even the loaf of bread I put in yesterday isn't frozen and the butter spreads as if it's been left out overnight.

I think frost free fridge freezers can have a problem where if the sensor is frozen, it doesn't "kick in" - usually if the door has not been closed properly or if you've been loading it with shopping.
That would make sense with the "turn of, defrost, turn back on"

I hope it works. I don't tend to overload it but it's always a possibility that the door hasn't been closed properly previously. I'm so stressed trying to sort it all plus dh working every single day of the month, trying to negotiate homework with the dc and now dd wants to go to a friends. I've also got a really bad headache which paracetamol hasn't touched. Feeling a bit sorry for myself

They can't get anyone out until the 23rd. Wtf. The man was so rude to me and just refused to answer when I asked what I'm supposed to do with all my food and insulin.

Aww Wreck I hope you manage to sort something out before 23rd, that's a long time to wait.

@ConstantlyCooking are these the sort of thing you're after for your DD?

Wreck go public (Facebook, Twitter etc) because of the insulin.

@pussycatlickinglollyices

Wreck go public (Facebook, Twitter etc) because of the insulin.

I totally agree with this.
