You perhaps know already I'm not a happy shopper. Some people love the whole looking at things, maybe imagining using them, owning them. I'm not one of those people. I find the trying to choose too stressy, what if I make a bad choice, should I put hours of research in? Choosing my uni I spent ages reading prospectuses. Choosing holidays I pore for hours over options trying to weigh up costs and amenities.
Choosing a fridge freezer could take months. So to help circumnavigate, I will as with all my electrical appliance buying, walk to my nearest shop and hopefully get one of the maybe 3 there. It restricts my choice and I like it that way. The kids would like an all-singing/dancing one with a big door and a light that comes on when you open the door so you can see inside. I explained I can do the latter. I imagine all fridge freezers have lights, ours just hasn't worked in their lifetime!!
I'm hoping to find one locally tonight, if not I'm much less anxious now I have a plan in place, an offer of being accompanied.
There's a long list of purchases I could make. For some time my girly has been sleeping on a mattress on the floor - she decided she didn't like the height of her previous bed and dismantled it. Only there's no longer a bed shop within walking distance so how do we begin to choose? And let's not get started on boilers yet...
But in better news, the frenzied trying to eat the contents of the freezer means I made veggie bacon butties for breakfast B-)

One of the things about shopping local is that local places sometimes have half day closing days :( :( :(
