Bum. Free standing fridge freezer been playing up for a while. Freezer's fine, but the temp control on fridge appears to have gone, so setting bears no relationship to temp.
The appliance must be 10 years plus old - so either £90+parts to get it fixed - plus hassle of emptying the b****y thing for the engineer and covid risk (assuming it's the thermo gone - as it does cool) - or £500+ for a new unit with a warranty. Pah, your mother smells of elderberries....

I feel your pain. Our "American Style" fridge/freezer packed up 4 weeks ago and it'll be a week next Tuesday before they come to fix it
Been trying to find how old the appliance is - I have it on British Gas cover in 2011 - so assume it was over 2 years old then. So I've bitten the bullet and gone for a replacement that is allegedly turning up tomorrow....Good luck with your repair!
What's stupid is that we used to be a family of four and had the fridge/freezer and a separate built in fridge and a built in freezer as well. Now there's only two of us - and my son is likely to b***** orf in a year or so after his PhD (or else I'll change the locks anyway!) - so even though all the 'cold' space is now used - when it's just me, it's total overkill.
And now my bank has decided that to do an online transaction, they will send a code to your mobile. But I don't want my bank having my mobile number - so haven't given it to them (typically only my family know it, as I only use it for emergencies) - luckily, the online software sent the code to my landline (which can receive texts)...Obviously the bank software is written by people who 'assume' that the world is now driven by mobile phones...
I recall that the banks announced that cheques would be phased out by 2012 as well....
Is it the 13th?
First world problems though eh? I have food in two fridges and freezers and I'm moaning..something wrong there eh?
We have a separate dining room now. We have our Xmas dinner in there and have used it a few times when we've had enough guests but otherwise we eat in the kitchen or outside.  The dining table gets extended for cutting out fabric more than for dining.
@wild edges I "teach" the online dictionary the proper English spelling whenever I can but the "add" option is not always available.  Handy function to have tho especially when I'm typing in French. Just to confuse you, there's a village called Wierde just south of Namur.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
We have a spare fridge freezer, which has lived in the garage since we moved here, and it's now in the breakfast room
