My freezer is coming monday

I'm so happy. Especially, since monday is also payday and I can fill the silly thing up. I wonder, does it need to stand empty for 24 hours? I hope not. My next chance to go shopping would be wednesday. Anyway, I also made 50 Euros yesterday, on the side, by reading and correcting an english article :). Hubby was helping. I think I take half of it and put it into snowflaking/saving and the other half I use for groceries. Hopefully my recliner will get here soon as well.

And since next week is already February, hubby's debts are going down by $500 and on the European side they'll go down about € 200 ... I like that.

I also wrote the bank again, to explain to me just one more time, why it is such a big deal to make small extra payments, i.e. 20 or 50 Euros worth, when their website clearly states, that I can make a payment anytime I want to. Beats me.

Anyway, all in all... things are looking good, and we are plugging along.

I don't see why you'd have to let it sit for 24 hours. Read the manual that comes with it, of course, but for efficiency's sake, you'd be better off filling it with frozen foods ASAP. Food holds the cold better than air does, so an empty freezer is more expensive to keep cold, and takes longer to *get* cold, than a freezer full of already frozen foods. One thing you don't want to do, however, is quickly and suddenly fill it with unfrozen foods, in hope of they're becoming frozen. It would take far too long for an empty freezer to freeze a full load of unfrozen foods, and they might go bad in the meantime. A few unfrozen things mixed in with frozen should be fine, though.
