Yep we had just bought all the groceries and filled up the freezer, actually it was too full and overloaded, it is the kind with baskets,and it is easy for it to be left slightly ajar and not be noticed, (which i hate,) when i got up this morning, everything was de-frosted and ruined, luckily the meat we had bought steak and prime mince was not frozen when we got it , so they will be ok and my father had given us some lamb chops and roasts which were ok, but everything else i had to throw away, just what one does not need extra food money to go out near xmas time.

Can anyone tell me if you can re-freeze oven chips, they were completely de-frosted, can you re-freeze them and use them or are they throw away as well.

Of course no-one here is to blame, it is that dam gremlin that lives in my house and does all these type of things. LOL oh well i guess one just has to look on the bright side, at least some of it was salvaged.

I must also mention that my kitties and the neighbours kitties will do well out of this, i had some lovely little chicken loins in there which i cannot use tonight as i have the other chicken to use up in a stirfry, so guess who is eating luxury tonight, all of them, they will love that for a treat, Ash is used to it, but the others are not, bet they will enjoy it, an early xmas present for them eh? see something good came out of something not so good.
