We went and bought a fridge today. Hooray for the January sales. The chap in Curry's was extremely nice and I think we have got something of a bargain. We have gone for one of those American-style affairs, with a freezer on the left and a fridge on the right. An awful lot of these side-by-side appliances have a built in water feature/ ice dispenser which takes up a lot of room in the freezer part. They need plumbed in when there is an ice dispenser, and frankly, living in the Northern Hemisphere there is little call for ice cold water 50 weeks of the year.
So we settled for a Samsung, faux stainless steel front, with a £230 reduction . It may actually be stainless steel, but either way, that's what it looks like. Happily, it is flat fronted too. A lot of them have these big massive bowed fronts to them, for reasons I am not sure of. Also, there is no stupid egg-rack, nor any flimsy shallow cake, or cheese drawers, or whatever they are. Just lots of straight forward shelves on which to put food and drink.
The obliging Curry's man is also happy enough to deliver it in a few weeks when we have a kitchen to put it in, which saves us hiding it in the garage for the next 2 months. So all in all, Hooray for Curry's, hooray for sensible Samsung.
About Me
- EMM
- After falling overboard a cross-channel ferry as a tiny baby I was rescued by some friendly seals and was rediscovered aged 7 years, a feral child roaming the Border countryside. My opus magnum is completed, though I have not had my cheque book ammended to include MD after my name. Yet. I have run away to Paris, and after 4.5 months of tears have finally cracked it, and am starting to really love life here.
