Fridge problem


I am trying to save on my power bill at home, my problem is this: every time I open the fridge door the light is on, how do I turn the light off once the door is closed?

Now some smart bugga is going to say remove the bulb, but that is stupid, if I do that I will not be able to see in the fridge when I open the door.

Also I can't get in the fridge to turn the light off when the door is closed because the food is in the way, also I don't like being cold, and it is cold in my fridge.

I am sure somebody here will be able to help me to fix this and help me save power.

You could relocate yourself the the funny farm Womby.............

They give you room and board there and you won't have any electricity bills, come to think of it you won't have a fridge either..............

thats a good idea, will go and google 'window in fridge door' and see what results I get, I knew I would get a sensible answer from somebody on this site.

Hmmm on second thoughts, that seems like a silly idea, just googled windows in fridge door and all it comes up with is bar fridges with all glass doors like the ones in the pub.

How did you cut a hole in your fridge door? does it let much cold out?

I have a very small eskimo living in the fridge and his job is to turn off the light when the door is closed.
Sometimes I think he is a bit slack cause our power bill is still high.

 Where can I get a very small eskimo? and does he/she eat much of the food in the fridge?

Now c'mon Wombat, I know for a fact that Wombats don't have lights in their burrows and they don't have any problems.

Just take the globe out and after awhile you'll be able to pick the food by it's smell...  winkbiggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrin

 You could always put an ad in help wanted for a grey nomad eskimo to do some fridge sitting, you'd have to stock up on blubber though...wink

Wombat,

             I'd go for taking the bulb out then you can do it by feel.

The cold glass ones are very important and the furry ones are to be left alone.

The sloppy ones are finger lickin. and finally the hard ones are for SWMBO.

Wine at room temperature is ok until you live in the tropics. I like my wine just off the boil.
So I did the sacreligious thing and chilled the wine and added ice.
I'm from the Barossa, so that makes me an expert.
An "ex" is a has-been, and a "spert" is a drip under pressure.

I seem to remember the little men who used to live in the pokermachines and make the wheels stop after you pulled the handles.

They are mostly out of work now, with the new electronic machines and all.

Maybe one of them is looking for work, and would take on your fridge, Wombat.

If you handle the interview well, you might get him to do a bit of cleaning as well.

(BTW- they are all male, as no woman would take on the job)

 Your welcome Ma......I don't include myself in this group of bloody terrorists.....they botched the job anyway (dobbed in).......don't take any notice of Wombat though, he's just jealous he wasn't there.....wink (in the torture and execution squad).

Grumpy, it was big thing when I was a kid in Oz, who could build the best bonfire, make the best stuffed Guy Fawkes etc, couldn't wait for "Cracker Night" as some called it.  We were allowed fireworks then too...biggrin

Lordy, lordy, Vic..... I remember those cracker nights !!!

Every kid in the street scrounging money to buy crackers at the local shop, scrounging old clothes and a hat for our Guy Fawkes, and scrounging rubbish from every neighbour for the bonfire !

Sky rockets launched from a coke bottle, catherine wheels launched from a nail on the fence, and tuppeny bungers to scare the little kids.

My mum used to give us potatoes to throw in the bottom of the fire for a roast potato feast afterwards.

We used to build out bonfire in the paddock across the road, but I remember the year we built it too close to the road and up went the fence and a telepole!
