Anyone know of any nice smelling candles that don't cost the earth ?

I've never met anyone before who was scared of them too :T

I never thought opening bottles of fizz regularly could ever be classed as therapy, but I really think thats what we need to do :beer:

I dont like balloons Spud, its the unexpected poppyness of them:o

I also have that "other fear" which I dont think I have any desire to get over anyway. It isnt exactly life limiting to be scared of people dressed in gorilla costumes:rotfl:

I havent found any up to now Ellie and would actually love to find a nice cheap candle that smells nice for more than 5 mins. Yankee and Partylite are the best I have had but cost megabucks.

I Had to laugh! A while ago my daughter managed to get a Molton Brown candle for herself as a feebie (sells for £45)! I was having friends round and asked her if I could borrow it for the living room! she said not until I had read the candle care instructions! I said 'you light them - then blow them out when your done!' She wouldn't lend me it! Apparently Molten Brown candles need special care! I'm 40 and I have never learned how to care for a candle properly! lol

Hi Lou

Can I join the weight loss campaign please?

Reading all of the posts tonight have been really inspirational. It is funny how alike we all are really, with the 'saving for special' and the fears we have.

I have so many small fears (as well as the usual big ones, like dying before my daughter or losing my dad) that I think I am a pathetic person and how will anyone like me when I don't like myself most of the time.

I am scared of opening fizz too. And balloons. And anything that makes a sudden loud noise.


Ikea do a vanilla candle that smells lovely - dead cheap, I'm sure they're about £1, and I wash out the glasses they come in and use them as tumblers too. :cool:
