Candles
 

Re: Candles
 

I love them especially on a dark winters night with the curtains shut the flames on the fire dancing and the candles flickering away with the lights dimmed. Its so relaxing and cosy.

I also love sented candles but don't have a favourite as there are so many lovely frangrances to choose from.

Re: Candles
 

Love them. Don't care if they are scented or not. I like lots of votive candles in small glass containers. Talk about glow! Outdoors and indoors.

Is that when you slide down the other end of the bath to the taps, with your arms wrapped round your legs and your head tucked in?

It does sound appealing but last time I did that I got a right telling off from mthead he said the water was coming in through the kitchen ceiling :(

Re: Candles
 

If you live in Hyndburn homes property tell him its the massive holes in the ceilings-not your fault:eek:

Re: Candles
 

Oh i love candles , scented or not esp when in bath with mp3 and a glass of wine ....Pure bliss

Re: Candles
 

:D I shall pretend you've never been to Lush.

Re: Candles
 

Havent had a bath for 3 years!

The council took the bath out 5 years ago because mum couldnt get in it and replaced it with a shower.

By the way im sat here with the lights out, a cinnamon candle going on one end of the fire place and on the other last years xmas candle going with the smell of berries supposedly. I've still got the cold and cant smell them.

Re: Candles
 

;) Supresses the urge to call you a mucky pup because I like to have a shower in the mornings but I do love a nice relaxing bath sometimes too.

Re: Candles
 

OMG jen i once lived with shower only for about 5 yrs if i wanted a bath i had to go to my mums ..so when i moved and the house had a bath i was never out of it .....It was like pure luxury .

Re: Candles
 

Sorry, but not candles biggest fan(just as well, they'd all be blown out!!!!).The missus is forever buying them,but never lights them!Decorative purposes only.Whats the point?More clutter to dust round.Candles should be kept in churches,and under the stairs in case of emergencies.Having said all that,i might have to re-think my no more candles policy if these bloody power bills go up anymore!!!!!:)

Re: Candles
 

For me candles have just two uses. Emergency lighting and greasing a wood screw that is very hard to screw in although soap is just as good. There is one other use that I don’t put them to these days and that is to grease a slide.

Burning loads of candles in a closed room, scented or otherwise, is as a good a way as any to use up the oxygen that you need to breathe.

So could the relaxed feeling be down to slow CO2 poisoning?

Re: Candles
 

Depends on how good the draft proofing is and the number of candles being used. If it was the relaxed feeling was down to carbon dioxide poisoning then they would also start to turn blue and thinking the water is not warm enough fill up the tub again. I blame celebs for this craze! Wonder how many house fires are started in the bathroom because the person in the tub fell asleep???

Re: Candles
 

Rub a candle on a wood saw to stop it sticking and make it easier to saw with.

when i went on holiday this year i bought my mum some candles from boscastle (the town that floated away) and they were roasted marshmallow.very nice:Banane52: :)

Re: Candles
 

In the range in Blackburn they have all sorts of candles its worth a look.

Re: Candles
 

As someone who very often doesn't sleep, because of Parkinson's and the drugs I'm on, lavender candles help me to relax wonderfully.

The best ones I've found are Yankee candles which they sell at Ossy Mills. Sadly they are the most expensive too.

Two other good uses for candles are to rub the back of new shoes, which are rubbing, to soften the leather, and to make sure your sledge goes extra fast on the snow by waxing the runners.;)

Re: Candles
 

Will remember that next time out sledging :D Actually, Garinda, we used to use the wrapping off sliced bread ... that had a waxy finish to it .. good for slides too.

Re: Candles
 

We used to use binbags - they were better than sledges for going over the snow and if they tore just ripped another off the roll and carried on. Mum shouted at me though because me & my mates went through a full roll of them and she didnt have any to put the rubbish in - they were all in bits on the shales! lol

Re: Candles
