What wonderful timing---not

[lissie]

Just had a note put in the letter box from the National Power Network
to say our power will be off from 8am till 2pm on the 9th December
What wonderful timing with people filling up their freezers for Christmas
and no heating for those that need it
Our boiler is being serviced that day so I will have to cancel that as well.

I wonder which comedian decided to do this work just before Christmas

Bad timing, that!

Your freezer contents should be OK if you avoid opening the freezer door.

Get your house well warmed beforehand, and sort out some warm woollies.

A flask of hot water might be useful, too.

Very bad timing. Silly really but I suppose they have to do the work sometime.

I agree with Aggers - your freezer contents should be fine for that short a time.

Have you got a gas hob - if so at least you can boil up water for cups of tea. If not then a thermos is a necessity - or a day out!

[tonicha]

Have a day out Lissie - much more fun.

And agree that your freezer and fridge stuff will be okay.

I'd be having a day out and a night at a hotel.

But then any excuse as far as I'm concerned.

[Diflower]

I don't suppose any time would be convenient really
Probably better done when the weather's cold, rather than in the summer when fridge stuff might spoil.
Full freezers are more efficient, I'm sure frozen things will be fine - but no internet
I agree, just decide to go out for a while and for lunch

[Kaz]

Your freezer will definitely be fine, but I agree it is a pain xxxxx

We are seriously threatened with an electricity strike - strike notice expires on the 16th December That should make Christmas great fun NOT Hopefully they will sort it out by then, but the main union official is a right so-and-so, if I was talking to him I think I would have to punch him

[saundra]

at least you got told it was going to happen
and not just a elec cut
if possible go out for the day
if you feel like it
might kill a few hours
