DH didn't shut the freezer drawers properly last night, so hence the freezer door was not fully shut on its seal. Grrr. Don't think stuff defrosted, but there is ice and bloomin frost over the whole thing which I now need to sort (well, not now now, but I will have to sort!)

Also, DH is absolutely rubbish at telling me things have finished/run out. He is classic for putting an empty box/pot back in the fridge/cupboard and not saying anything... double Grrrrrr.
