    What on earth are yankee candles?

    It was a fab night, got loads of tips for Venice (and Barcelona), and had a good natter.

    They are just really nice candles Ames, from America :D

    I got some christmas votives last year for a present so put them away for this year;) Currently burning Christmas Cookies fragrance.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Yay! All eBay that finished today has been paid for (shocking I know!) and it's all ready to be posted in the morning, and my PayPal balance looks nice too!

    Had a nice chat with Pint, he's missing me, I'm missing him, I stole his t-shirt and am wearing it, and I'm cuddling Mr. Moose tonight, etc etc etc.

    Hey rugbymum, how's it having big son home (take it he's at uni?)

    Buffy, round here they have Yankee Candle shops. One in the local shopping centre and one in Soton.

    Do we reckon I can get my Amazon voucher from Dooyoo before Valentine's Day? Oh ,and does it count if I answered all the questions in my dad's work quiz and he gives me part of the prize? And if anyone knows anyone who works at Tesco's and is having problems, I'll help them too - with the quiz.

    Shows how bored I am this does doesn't it lol.

    Shine a bloody light.................farrking boiler has gone off again:mad::mad::mad::mad:

    I rang the installers today and they said that people are ringing all the time with the same problem, maybe that suggests that they havent installed it right you bumholes.

    His long term solution suggestion..................pour boiling water over the pipe when it freezes up and get some lagging.
