Patridge bantam chicken poorly foot?

[Mrs Frugal]

I'll definitely post a photo if I can rescue the candle . Should be fun. If it's not a busy weekend, I shall make it my Sunday project.

Kate melt it again in a pan and re-model the canle

 

If you melt the wax you can pour it into a tea light holder using the new wick as well - just ditch the boring old tea light wax!!

 

I do this with my L'Occitane Lavendar Amber candles when the wicks gone

[Mrs Frugal]

That's a good idea! The wicks come out of tealights really easily! Excellent plan, thanks .

I too am addicted tio Lock and Lock (I have binned all my other plastic boxes apart from take-away ones as they are sooooo usefull)

 

and Yankee candles they also do votives so you can try a small one for the smell then its not so painful spending £15 plus on a candle but they do last ages!

 

I love cherry - a bit sweet for some but lovely and the dark blue one called something to do with the night?

[chelsea]

I like Yankee candles aswell. In fact I love ANY candles.

 

My mum is a QVC addict and spends loads on Butler and Wilson jewellery and accessories (she gave me a load for my birthday). Trouble is she is home all day whilst her partner is out at work and she sits and spends!!

[Rona]

I don't have any Yankee Candles cos I can't bring myself to spend the money on them but I do like them.

Have you seen the Penguin Party christmas accessories? They look really happy and make me smile

Thanks for the link Rona!

 

I fancied splashing out on a candle for mum for Mothers day next year, I will have a look on there first I think

[Rona]

These are good as well, especially the bluebell forest one

I am a yankee candle adict tooo

 

I have a yankee gel air freshener in my car, it smells lovely.

 

my mum (who got me started on this yankee candle addiction) has a yankee tart (oooooh, that sounds roood ) she puts it in a little glass bowl and puts it on the radiator, it works really well.

 

for those of you who think im just putting dodgy stuff on the forum, a tart is a small disk of wax, they are designed to put into tea-light oil burners and they last for ages. they are a really inexpensive way of having yankee candles at home.

[Krysia]

Oh chelsea sounds like your mum and My mum would get along great! Does she do GEMS TV too!

 

 

My Dad goes spare everytime the postman comes.

[Egluntyne]

My thing is lock and lock boxes.

 

Me too...can't resist. You can never have enough can you.

 

erm what are they?

 

...Look here...

 

Sad innit.

[superjules]

Ah yes. OH knows never to let me free range in a lakeland shop for more than 20 mins or else I'll spend the mortgage money on baking tins and other kitchen gadgets!!!

[Egluntyne]

I absolutely love browsing in Lakeland.

There is a shop in Tissington, Derbyshire called 'On a Wick and a Prayer'

that sells these (plus candles) - they are fantastic - the most highly scented candles I have ever had, although I haven't got a Yankee candle to compare with, maybe I will have to put one on my Christmas list to see.

My name is Christian and I too am an addict.

 

It started many years ago, when I first saw the cute box. Opaque plastic, with a blue rim. I bought one. Took it to work and used it everyday. Watching QVC one night, the evil presenters showed me a box full of them. 12 in total. My addiction had begun. I now have over 50 Lock & locks.

 

I then needed something else to fuel my addiction. I was on the search. A small box of innocent looking tea lights were given to me as a present. Thats what they do, start you off small.............The yankee candle craze had grabbed me. Clean cotton tea lights filled my house. Then Pumpkin pie scented......then cranberry chutney. When will it end??????

 

I do this with my L'Occitane Lavendar Amber candles when the wicks gone

 

Then it was a trip to France and discovering the joys and heartache of L'Occitane Lavender Amber candles. Not Lavender, Lavender AMBER. The heady aroma. The welcoming scent. The smell of home...........

 

Don't start me on Molton Brown, or Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish!!

[Mrs Frugal]

Don't start me on Molton Brown, or Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish!!

 

......or jam jars .

[Christian]

 

Forgotten about those!

[Mrs Frugal]

[Karen & co.]

Don't start me on Molton Brown,

 

I found some Molton Brown hair 'curlers' a bit like red padded loops to twist into your hair I bought them from Harrods about a million years ago as a student, I bought 10 because the snotty sales assistant said they were 99p each, not 99p for a bundle of 10

 

I've barely used them due to the fiddle factor, but I didn't like the way she looked me up and down first

I now have over 50 Lock & locks.

That is impressive.

 

I've only got about 20.

 

Must look into these Yankee Candle whatists. Where do you get them from?

 

If I am going to be addict.....I may as well do it full time.

QVC sell them but my local - ish garden centre does too.

 

A box of 12 tea lights is about £4, sounds expensive but they burn for hours and fill the house with a lovely smell.

 

Clean cotton is my favourite.

[Rona]

Eglutine, now you have heard about them you will realise they are everywhere. Be careful, it is really very easy to become addicted to them

[Helen&Lee]

Had to bring this thread back - Chrismas scented Yankee candles on QVC tonight (Weds) 10pm.

 

They sounded fantastic - very Christmassy - and I thought they said only £18.00 for quite a decent set - but I can't see that one on the QVC website this morning
