Hi ladies…..well as my friend Stephanie said, it’s gone a bit quiet….so here’s a mad question from crazy Grace.
The kitchen is regarded by many as the heart of the house, the focal point…..so if I walked into yours now, what would I find on top of your refrigerator/fridge???…..
Mine has a tray with tea/ coffee/ sugar and hot chocolate. A fox shaped mug full of loose change, a tub of vitamins, a red lipstick….and I have found behind the tray, a phone charger for a phone I no longer have….with a bit of….dust!!!….and I have two pictures of Grumpy cat” on the door
So girls, what exactly do you keep on top of your fridge……?????
Grace, daft as a brush but never dull!!…..❤️
There’s just over an angry inch of space on top of my fridge as it resides is a custom built cabinet, but my house is utterly clutterly so true to form on top of my fridge reside several cutting boards. One of these days were going to start giving things away and take the first steps towards minimalism.
HI Grace we have only two items on top of our fridge and I am surprised my wife has allowed them there.
we have two nice wooden back scratchers up there.
a valuable tool for someone in this dry cold weather that needs back scratches quit often.LOL
we have a cabinet over most of our fridge fortunately so that keeps it from becoming the catch all it used to at the old house. LOL

The only thing on top of our fridge is a jar of dog treats!
Great planning….when sparky gets a beer…reach up for a snack too!!!!
Hi Grace,
I only have one thing on top of my fridge and that is my seven medications. Oh yeah I forgot, sorry, I also have a pile of “DUST”.

Kathleen…in England we usually keep our pils inside the fridge…
but only if it’s Holsten 😂
Well my Holstein’s in the fridge is a four liter jug of wine.
Well our fridge slots in neatly underneath one of our kitchen surfaces, so there isn’t space for anything ontop apart from a couple of flat trays. If it counts, the surface we use above is where we keep the kettle and an arrangement of teas and coffees and beverage related goods. Since we both take milk in our hot drinks, it’s convenient that the fridge is directly underneath.
Good question Grace, I really had to think for while, and I can honestly say, hand on heart. NOTHING. Unless I count the door handles, which is refrigerator, two handles. Now the rules are a bit thin so stretching it I technically I have two items on my appliance. But if the above is disqualified then I have , Nothing. Now if you asked me two day ago I could have put DUST, but sadly I washed the top off before you question.
from one of the funniest girls here….that’s very…. ordinary!!!
Is that bad Grace, “ordinary”. And what about the handles do they count.
I did have a pig fridge magnet ( Pink Floyd) but a little person stole it and put on her mummy ‘s fridge at home. Apparently walked over and wanted to live with her.
What can I say.!!!!!
🎶”all in all…
another pig off the wall”🎶…
Love pink🐷 floyd
Yes brilliant Grace, top band, expensive pig too.
Once things get put on top of the fridge they stay there for years. They are dusted around, cleaned occasionally… but never removed… or used….. with the exception of a flash light.
My grand daughter’s jar of ingredients for cookies complete instructions for baking the cookies was put there when she was about 9…. she is now 16. She was starting her own “bake shop & deli” at the time.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hi Grace, kitchen fridge is under the worktop ,so the Bread bin above and on the bread bin is the tea coffee and sugar an electric tin opener come knife sharpener sits at the side of B bin. The only thing on that fridge door is a large beer bottle opener The main workhorse is the fridge freezer in the back lobby, on top is spare rolls of cling and foil there is a plastic tray next with all our keys for everything from the front gates to motors , chastity belts, handcuffs ,workshop you name it and we probably have a key that might fit and lastly the clothes peg tray full of multicoloured plastic pegs and a few fridge magnets for decoration. Well!!! you did ask.Pyxx
Py…..firstly, happy new year to you and your darling wife XXX
….but on to the nitty gritty….handcuffs???.. chastity belt???….I’m betting your wife waits with baited breath when she hears you mutter..” jest nippin oot to the freezer hen”….and if she is really unlucky, you could come back with….. something for tea!!!!
Smiles as ever, grace xxx
Good morning Grace, we keep our very pretty light coral coloured with lace trim placemats on top of the fridge. We use the placemats to protect our golden oak kitchen table from hot plates and tea mugs. On the front door of the fridge we have photos of our grandchildren and a drawing my oldest granddaughter did of me walking my dog Paige. She even got my long hair correct. We bought a new fridge a couple of weeks ago to replace our very old cream coloured fridge BUT the new fridge won’t be delivered for at least four months from now (a special order because my wife likes black appliances).
For a week it has been minus 20 every morning for dog walking but this morning we are having a heat wave and it is up to one degree. Paige is yapping at me as she is demanding that we go for a walk NOW. Take care, Hugs, Krista.
A metal owl shaped ice bucket that was my mom’s and still keeps my Sangria bottles nice and chilled when I’m out in the yard enjoying the day, part of my collection of very old (40’s) A & W root beer mugs of all sizes, various item’s that needed setting down somewhere out of the way for a bit then were forgotten about.

On mine there is tools, I haven’t used in ages. A box of pads my ex left here when she moved out, a bunch of old paper work, from my daughters autism diagnosis, 3 Old cell phones, 2 broken iPod touches, and a gigantic bucket of slime I had to take away from the kiddo. I am seriously beginning to wonder if I might be a bit of a hoarder.
Gracie, thank you, I was getting disoriented as i got sucked into the american chaos on CNN. But you did ask for it !
I keep my fridge in the interconnected garage. I gave up itemising quickly – it’s lockdown, I can exist for an eternity on the boxes on my fridge but the price is total chaos. The top of my freezer along side is easier:
1 clean empty yoghurt pot
1 pack of 6 multi coloured pens, missing a black one
2 rolls self adhesive white labels
1 pack easy seal ice cube bags
1 ltr long life milk
(opened) 3 litre white wine box – for cooking only
1 box brandy snaps
1 box cornish clotted cream fudge
1 box labelled “thank you for looking after the dog”
2 packets dry cured bacon, which should be in the freezer – THANKS!!
1 bowl of chilly garlic olives – now half eaten after this post
1 small blue plastic container, holding
– A precariously placed box of 12 eggs
– 1 pack narcissus bulbs
– 1 pack muscali americana bulbs
– 1 pack allium sphaeraep …. bulbs ( I just gave up on the spelling)
phew
the sheer variety is astonishing!!
– it was a good job I’d done a clear out !
I have just bought a new reed diffuser, which reminded me of an incident when I used to keep one on the fridge….one day, just before going to work, I reached up to put my coffee tin back and as I withdrew my arm…I snagged a reed and pulled the diffuser toward me….I caught it, but was covered in lily of the valley liquid….I can’t recall if there were any remarks at work…haha
Smiles, grace xx
….. twelve days of Christmas???

Celeste…I love it!!!!
And a freezer full of pheasant too.
Hi Sammy….
