New Fridge

Pebbles82 · 06-14-2016, 03:46 PM

This has absolutely nothing to do with hamsters but I went mad today and ordered a new fridge. It sounds a bit sad but I am so excited! Last night was the last straw for the old fridge. I had a large Tesco order arrived only to find the fridge door wouldn't shut. The icebox gets very frozen up about every 4 weeks and it takes ages to defrost and the fridge won't switch on again until it is fully defrosted (clever idea by the manufacturer, but annoying).

So I had to put all the food in a cold bag with ice packs over night. The cold bag was useless and I ended up wasting about £10 worth of food.

On top of that every time I open the fridge door the bottles fall out along with the bottle holder. This morning, as a four pint bottle of milk fell on my foot I thought - enough is enough! I need a new fridge. Ordered one and it's arriving in the morning.

It's a larder fridge and has no ice box to defrost yay. Suddenly I didn't mind the bottles falling out 10 times a day as I knew it was only for one more day and when little boy came home from school I said "Have you seen my new game? Open the door, bottles fall out, close the door, open the door, bottles fall out - but I don't care because we have a new fridge coming tomorrow". It was just to make him laugh really. Other half was saying - well maybe we could have fixed the bottle holder. Nope - you've had months to fix the bottle holder and said it wouldn't work so we're getting a new fridge. He then said it could take weeks to arrive. Nope it's coming in the morning at 9am.

Yay! I get much more excited buying homeware than anything else

I bought a new kettle yesterday and was thrilled

I wish I could buy a new fridge!

Well it hurts paying out the money but yes I am quite excited ha ha. I'll have a whole extra shelf and a proper bottle holder

The thrill wears off the first time they need cleaning lol. Now I just want a decent cooker, a new kitchen and a new house ha ha.

I hate our fridge, it's built into a cupboard under the worktop. I am irrationally jealous of your extra shelf!

Pebbles82 · 06-14-2016, 03:57 PM

Lol! This one is just a freestanding one that goes under the worktop - nothing flash - but the extra shelf is where the icebox would be normally. I hope it works when it arrives eek!

I'm actually really excited for you! I love getting deliveries

when our washing machine was delivered I was ridiculous!

I remember getting my first ever washing machine ha ha. I sat and watched a full cycle for over an hour and got nervous every time it stopped for a bit. Mind you that was a long time ago

AlfredHam · 06-14-2016, 04:19 PM

I did the same

I was terrified I hadn't hooked it up well enough and I was going to have a leak all over the kitchen lol

Yay! I remember years ago I bought a new fridge. Was sooooooooo nice! Had to get someone to explain all the technical stuff to me, but once it arrived I LOVED it! Also covered the door with stickers

as I have a sticker obssession! I wonder if we can get a new fridge here ...!

Ohhh, I love big deliveries. They come in big boxes, great to cut up... yeah. A fridge is great too.

Haha lots of space for hamster bedding and food and treats...
