You certainly want to pay it off as fast as poss. Interest rates are
bound to go up soonish. You often see free freezers on these
"freecycle" sites.
However you should examine your freezer contents carefully. They can
soon get filled with trash. The main reason for big freezer capacity
is if you grow your own veg/fruit/etc. You need to use freezer stuff
in rotation, difficult if it's a chest type.


harry, you are exactly right in what you say.
Things have happened in the last 3 years to us which we never could have
foreseen. We took this house and thought we were safe in the fact that both
of us had a good income, in fact we were able to put more money away than
we expended so paid sometimes double the monthly mortgage, a couple of
times we almost emptied our savings account to spur things along.

The freezer issue annoys me because we have 2(an upright and a chest) and
OH and me freeze everything from the garden we can which is surpluss, put a
date on it, everything a person would need to know. What happens? After a
get-together with the family the chest freezer looks like an explosion at a
Hannibal Lecter reunion. Difficult? *******g impossible.
The upright is different though, because it's easier to make the same mess
but you can stand up while you do it.
I know it's not done on purpose but why oh why not take the oldest out? and
if they are not so good *******g ask.

Moaning over and i'm glad I got it off my chest.(no pun)
