What's on top of your Fridge?

soul_art — Wed, 23 Oct 2013 08:14:38 GMT

I was looking through a real estate site and in one house the fridge was chock a block with "stuff" covering the whole top.

It made me look at mine hahaa......I've got an old style phone for when we get a power failure and can't use the new type, a small basket with electrical tape, toothpicks, one of those "magical" dusters that supposedly attract dust from the keyboard, some curtain hooks and a ball of string.

Why ? I have no idea and I'm sure I'd never look there if I needed most of that "stuff".

So what's on yours?

Nothing!

When we moved to the farm, I had some egg cartons up there, went to get them down one day and disturbed a family of cockroaches!!

I was hysterical, having never seen them before.............

My neighbour was there to collect them..............(cartons)....... and she laughed! and told me everyone there has them, nothing to get hysterical about. I think I used about 10 cans of surface spray...........

Since then, nothing goes up there......ever.

Nothing except dust!

It is a tall fridge/freezer combo. There is a cupboard above the fridge, so there is only about 3-4cm of space between that and the top of the fridge.

freaki do you alwasy keep them there? I reckon when you first move into a new house, wherever you put something seems to be where you always put it.

I put big old teatowels on top of the fridge and freezer now am3, easier to wash than the top..the dust seems to get greasy from cooking I suppose.

We have a really tall fridge. OH is 6'2 and it is just a bit taller than he is.
So apart from an ornamental bowl it has his stuff on it.
There's footy fixtures, a tape measure and his 'basket' which has tablets, scripts and any amount of random shiz.
And a heap of dust!

I seem to gather dust bunnies everywhere freddie lol

and I bet lollies/choc get hidden from kids/grandchildren and partners...unless they're tall and then you have to hide them in the vege crisper !

nothing. I like to keep it free so I can run the dishcloth over it quickly when it gets dusty.

That is a good idea. Because there isn't much of a gap on top of my fridge it is hard to get to the back to clean it without pulling out the fridge.
