I will take the blame! But how to get rid of dead body smell?

Tweet

While my wife was away there was a smell in the house I could not identify. Well not initially I hunted high and low for this smell it was pungent in fact it was totally repugnant. One morning I woke up and as soon as I came out of the bathroom I could smell it. It was getting stronger so I thought today I am going to hunt down that smell until I find it. It was coming from the kitchen initially I thought it might be coming from under the sink i cleared out the cupboard and found nothing it did not smell remotely of it. I was puzzled. I thought perhaps something had crawled behind something and either died or rotted. It was very unpleasant. I stood in the middle of the kitchen scratching my head and thinking where next. All of a sudden I noticed the freezer light was not working. I looked at the socket and yes the plug was hanging out of the socket. I Plugged it back in and opened the freezer. OH my word above it smelt like someone had died. Everything had melted I decided to keep the freezer turned on to refreeze it all and then empty it and take it up to the tip. I had just missed the rubbish collection which we only have every other week. One week household rubbish the next week only recycling collection. I thought I would empty it the day before collection. Although refreezing it got rid of the smell what I had not anticipated was that it would all freeze into one solid block. I had to break it all up. I managed to fill two sacks of stuff for he bin men to take but the rest was so frozen I had to wait for it to defrost. Well yesterday was the day. I managed to clear the whole lot out. There was six sacks of foul smelling rotten food. I bagged it all up and had to drive it to another town because our rubbish collection site had burnt down and is being repaired. I lined the boot of my car with plastic bin liners and have dumped it all. My daughter told me to claim it on our insurance to replace all the food. I told her no as the excess we have to pay would probably replace it all.... So that has been my morning today getting rid of dead body smells! Have you ever had to do this?
