Well The Pier has gone into administration which means a credit crunching 50% off everything on their site. Silver linings and all that!

I'm going for candles rather than anything else. It's going on a credit card so if delivery doesn't occur we are covered. We are putting in an order at work to save on the delivery.

Don't waste your breath ~ he doesn't understand.

We buy loads of candles. Some for decoration, some get lit, some don't. Some are just there in case of power cuts others we use to create a relaxing atmosphere. Such things do not seem to enter Nick World ~ prolly 'cos Mrs Nick has more sense that to trust him with a lit candle.

We have drawers full of candles all over the house, god knows how many shapes, sizes, and scents. When I got home last night, there was no electric due to a major fault in the area. Southern Electric said try ringing again after 2000hr's. Mrs JOM comes home and says, "no electric, there's no lights, we'll have to go out"   Banghead Banghead Banghead

I already told you ~ stop fishing for a mucky answer as there isn't one. We do really use the bloody things to shed light and to look nice. Scented ones also keep the house from smelling musty when all the windows are shut during the winter.
