    Ellidee I have yankee candle tarts. They sound/look expensive but they arnt really. I brought a oil burner for £1.99 at a charity shop and then the tarts are 99p each. Obviously you need tea light too but they are quite cheap. I can make every tart last about 13 hours before having to replace. Sometimes though I will burn one fragrance for 4 hours and pop the remaining tart out (once solid) and change fragrance.

    I now have four different burners and use one solely for oils, although I find this expensive as I use body shop oils. I always ask for tarts for christmas/birthday or I buy them on ebay in lots. Better than any other fragrance candle I have brought or any air freshners :T

    OOh thanks pap. There is an Antique and Craft centre not far from me where Bob Carolgees ( remember him - Spit the Dog?) has a shop and sells yankee candles so may have to treat myself !

    Peacock's of all places! It was supposed to be a fiver, but I got that, a big thick jumper, and a little purse, all for £9.50. I only went in because I had to park outside it when I went to tesco. It's nothing fancy, just a long t-shirt dress.

    Could you wear it over jeans/trousers :confused:

    Len, no, I wasn't in Weybiza, I don't think we've met.

    Shoegal, I could wear it over trousers, but I'm not taking any - too heavy and I don't have any that fit properly. I didn't get it just to take away though, mainly cos I liked it (and the price).

    Looks like Jessica in Casualty is about to die, has anyone ever left it without dying?!
