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.

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

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: :)
 
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.;)

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.
 
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
 
If your drawers are sticky a rub with a candle on their bottoms or runners can help there too.

I've just ordered some partylite candles from a candle party held by a friend. They are scrumptious. I was thinking of maybe having a candle party of my own and inviting anyone who'd like to come for a nosey at them, no compulsion to buy. There are some very nice niffs.
