A reminder as well to clean behind the fridge every few months - vacuum the coils and wipe everything down. The fridge will be more economical to run, and more efficient, if the coils aren't covered in dust (and dog hair, which seems to get everywhere in my house!)<BR/><BR/>On another note: the postman has just delivered my tote from Aubrey in the USA, and it's FABULOUS, I'm thrilled to bits.

I get a shopping delivery one a week and usually the day before I clean out the fridge ready for the new food to come in, but I have been so busy working lately I had forgotten and it has been a good few months since it was cleaned :-O<BR/>I will set that as my challenge for today, thanks for the reminder.<BR/>Also Hi to my fantastic swap buddy Anita, can't wait to see the bag you've made.

Since giving away on those oh so magical spray it on and effortlessly wipe it off chemical concoctions, the poor thing gets steadily grubbier. Obviously the new strategy is to clean it on a very regular basis to prevent that kind of build up. If you had any green sugestions I'd be very glad of it.
