The Toys

Start thawing the ice. This can take some time. Put the towels down the bottom of the freezer to catch any drips so you dont get water going everywhere. You can either leave the freezer turned off and leave it to defrost while you go and tackle a few other London domestic cleaning jobs while the ice melts, or you can speed things up by putting a bowl or two of boiling water inside and closing the door. You will still need to wait for thing to do their work you will probably have enough time to vacuum the floor or clean the bathroom while you wait.Once you have waited long enough, open the door and remove the bowls of now-cool water, if you used the boiling water method. Pull on the ski gloves and pick up the spatula. Use this spatula to prise the ice off the side of the freezer. Be careful not to scratch the inside of the freezer. Pick up the chunks of ice and put them in the empty bucket. When the bucket is full, take it outside and dump it in an odd corner, where it will melt happily.
