Bit last minute this, but the Mini Moose is a bit worried that her grub 'n' stuff is going to get nicked from the communal fridge, so had this sudden and very last minute idea....but are they any good though? Never had or used one meself like.
The Argos have got one...... http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/2719629/c_1/1%7Ccategory_root%7CKitchen+and+laundry%7C14418476/c_2/2%7C14418476%7CFridges%7C28135119/c_3/3%7Ccat_28135119%7CMini+fridges%7C28135577.htm#pdpProductReviews (http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/2719629/c_1/1%7Ccategory_root%7CKitchen+and+laundry%7C14418476/c_2/2%7C14418476%7CFridges%7C28135119/c_3/3%7Ccat_28135119%7CMini+fridges%7C28135577.htm#pdpProductReviews)
...but it sez 'cooler', so d'ya reckon that's gunna be sufficient? rubschin:
-
Absolutely pointless to be honest ...they hold a couple of tinnies and are not great for keeping food chilled adequately noooo:
-
Daft idea. Give her a slap

While most portable mini-fridges claim to have a temperature of 5.56 to 7.22 degrees Celsius, this temperature is still five to six degrees higher than a regular fridge, making them not as cold as they should be. Depending on the brand, a portable mini-fridge is designed to stay cold for six to eight hours. During that time the fridge will begin to warm up. The temperature change could lead to spoiled food and beverages. Mini-fridges are not good for long-term storage.
-
Well ok then you ex uni types, how d'ya stop yer goodies (choccy) getting nicked then, and don't say by putting labels with your name on said items? rubschin:
Been told that students don't class it as nicking, just 'borrowing' in times of urgent need due to lack of planning and dosh. whistle:
Communal fridge is going to be shared by 5 others apparently.
-
We had a communal fridge in halls . We had 2 fridges between 12 of us on our floor. There is a certain acceptance that things like milk , sugar , choccy etc will be consumed at times of need. Generally rolling in the early hours and having the munchies !!!
Lets be honest we still have the "who has used my milk" discussions at work even though the bottles are all initialed noooo:
At uni we had a 'communal' biscuit tin where we took in turns to buy. This prevented some midnight feast raids .
Generally you will not be able to bulk buy food as there simply will not be enough storage space . Main meals won't be touched , so it's just about reducing the risk really. Lets face it - anyone who buys chocolate and intends not to eat it for days is seriously asking for trouble lol:

Must admit that when I go to some of me cussies garages rest rooms, there'll quite often be a box of biccies or tin of choccies lying around, and I ALWAYS 'elp meself like. whistle:
It's not nicking is it? It's called uncontollable grub lust. :thumbsup:

She may as well have a proper one in her room for that money noooo:
-
If she is in halls then her grub will get "borrowed"
Most unis do not allow mini fridges etc in rooms as they are not PAT tested and they also like to control the leccy use. Pooter and printer + Hairdryer was all the THW was permitted ~ AND THEY CHECK WEEKLY! Any unauthorised equipment they find is removed immediately.
Oh and keep in mind that all your shouting will do no good ~ She is an adult now and the Uni will simply refuse to talk to you about it. They will only talk to her and they will have provided her with a list of things that are and are not permitted in Halls ~ Fridges being just about top of the list of MUST NOT if I remember the list the THW got from Lancaster.
And that is the first sensible answer you've had.
Frankly she'll just have to get used to it ~ She is not at home now ~ this is communal living!

PS to my previous.
Eldest daughter has delivered her daughter to uni in the past week. She too took a mini fridge and was told in no uncertain terms to take it home again. Daughter #1 is a stroppy cow at the best of times and was told if she didn't stop mouthing off she would be escorted from uni by security. "We deal with your daughter not you" was what she was told.

My eldest daughter is 42 ~ Resultant child of my first marriage ~ She is mother of my granddaughter and therefore half sister to the THW and the boys.
I also have a son aged 44 from that first marriage + 3 more grandchildren.
Oh and THW is at Royal Holloway, University of London. Granddaughter is at Newcastle University.
Meanwhile eldest daughter is livid but hopefully next time she will listen to her father (ME!)
Granddaughter did not help matters by laughing when the Premises Manager threatened security escort to remove her mother. lol:

She's missed Freshers' Week at Newcastle rubschin:

BTW ~ THW and her BF got back from their week in Scotland (Geology Field Trip) just in time for Freshers at Holloway and posed as "Newbies". According to the overnight email they managed to scoff a load of freebies before they were spotted!

THW had a food thief in her Halls. She put food colouring into her milk and turned it blue. She said it stopped the thief and that her cocoa pops didn't taste any different.
It happens in all student halls. They are allocated a shelf in the fridge in their communal kitchen but someone is always borrowing stuff. Holloway also gave them a kitchen cupboard each but wouldn't allow them to fit locks "For security reasons" (Roughly I translate that as meaning "we want to check for drugs")
Usually the first term is spent sorting such thieving b@st@rds out and it settles down after a while.
Much the same as they will spend the first year making all sorts of new friends and the next two years trying to get rid of them.
The time passes very quickly and she'll be home for Christmas before you know it.
Why do the wimmin make such a fuss? ~ I guess it's because they realise how old they are getting but I'd not mention that to Mrs Growler if I were you. noooo:
-
Drop off and scarper asap are the rulze I've made.
We'll wait and see on that one ey? ::)
-
6 stewdunts sharing the same kitchen, 2 normal sized fridges, and 2 same sized freezers. noooo:
Freezers totally empty, fridges already rammed to the rafters with 2 more stewdents still to arrive. ::)

Nice work Growler :thumbsup:
