Well I been on my own now for nearly 2 months and would appreciate some help with the wonders of the world to me :)
Problem List:
1) I bought some mince 800g,I used 400g to make cottage pie and planned to make spag bol with other, however it went out of date(2 days) and went to fridge and nearly made me sick with smell.....how do I get rid of this smell?
2) No matter how neatly my wheelie bin is stacked, when the binmen have been it's always at someone elses house, even tho number 22 is cleary painted on it...........how did it get back before?
3) When I've showered and thrown my clothes and wet towel on the floor they are still there the next day....this is weird cos they used to hang themselves up and smell of washing powder....I'm baffled.
4) How often do you change deep fat fryer oil? Before it used to purify itself after 2-3 weeks and look clean again....and where do I throw it,down the drain in the bin etc?
5) All my ashtrays are always full, this scares me the most as before they used to empty themselves, wash themselves and return to there domain.
6) The ghost in my house....he does'nt scare me cos he ain't harmful, but I don't like his bad habits of leaving empty cans of beer near the bath or bedside table, taking his ashtray into the main bedroom which has always been forbidden, his worse trait is leaving crockery on top on the dishwasher and not actully putting them in.....can I get a exorsism?
7) Does anyone know how to work the central heating flick round thing, my dumpy fingers gonna snap em off soon and still can't get it right...I wanna go to sleep warm but not wake up thinking about caribean and why I'm sweating my balls off.
And the 8th wonder of my life at the mo is:Why has my bank account made a mistake and I'm now 800 in credit and not 300 quid in the red after only 2 months lol :)



By the way First question was serious lol :)
Disclaimer: Anyone replying get a new fridge(it's built in) or get a new ladaah will be hounded by me for the rest of your FH life ;)

Clean interior of fridge with antibacterial stuff.

You can buy fridge deodorisers from supermarkets.

Apparently wiping it over with tomato juice is supposed to work !

If the odor is in the refrigerator insulation, there is nothing you can do to absorb it. The insulation may have to be replaced.

Try this:

1. Remove all items from the refrigerator. Take out any removable parts of the refrigerator and clean them separately.

2. Mix together 2 tbsp. baking soda with a quart of warm water. Wipe down the inside surfaces of the refrigerator with this solution.

3. Try a solution of 1 c. vinegar and 1 gallon of water, if the odor remains. Make sure to rinse and dry all surfaces before trying this solution.

4. Mix 1/2 c. chlorine bleach with 1 gallon of water and apply to all surfaces, if the odor persists. Once again, rinse and dry all surfaces before applying this solution.

5. Leave the door open and allow the refrigerator to air out.

I've been living on my own for a few more years and can pass on some experience.

1: best way to get rid of a smell, is to spray an entire can of Lynx around the pad.

2:retain your bin by attaching it to the outer tap with a length of string

3: to avoid wet towels ont he floor, dont use them ! Just splatter yourself with tesco's value talc, it soaks up the water just as well and makes a really cool cloud of perfumed smoke.

4:never change deep fat fryer oil, infact sell it on ebay - the local Chippy is your friend.

5:for the benefit of the house, never smoke inside - just sit on the doorstep then when done flick your fag butt into that large convinient ashtray called the "Garden"

6:stacking crockery is something you cant avoid, it just happens in your subconsious state, how long can you go before washing up, can you eat that slice of toast without having to wash up a plate? The only way around this ive found is to invite the parents over for a cup of tea, they normaly feel guilty about drinking from a plastic party cup.

7: leave your central heating OFF ! get a small fan heater and keep it in your bedroom, after all thats where the PC is, the TV and where you eat :)

1/2 an onion works as well to get rid of odours - use it when painting tbh..

Or you could just tip the fridge on its back, fill it up with petrol, chuck a lit match in...and that should pretty much burn any odours out !

If it looks a bit dodgy, it probably is. Molest it with some anti-bacterial spray.

Fear my household skills.

Cheers all I got rid of smell by cleaning it and putting the lemon in water thingie...and after they can double up as use in my Gin and Tonic :)
Tears class lol....I tried the parent pity thing, however they arrrived with a bottle of Jack Daniels and bottle of bombay Sapphire gin to try and cheer me up ( I wanted em to tidy up not cheer me up) anyway they did'nt really help but preceded to make matters worse and make more mess, then to add insult to injury they thought it was a game to make my house a tip and drunkenly laugh about it and recall how messy my bedroom was as a teenager....I kicked em out shortly after that :)
