ive not tried kringle candles yet but im wanting to after my last yankee candle i bought. it left over 2 inches in the jar when the wick was gone!!!!

i emailed them and when they replied, 10 days later they tried fobbing me off saying it was a new safety precaution, apperantly the candle now stops burning about 2 inches to the bottom to stop the glass cracking(without the customer losing any burning tine or scent?!?!)! funny since i bought 2 together and the 1st one didnt do it and neither have any of my others!

i have heard that the quality has gone down though since they sold the company, so i think i might have to give kringle a go

Thanks I'm sure it will it's more get leg op she is worried about as she doesn't want to loose her leg but that's very likely but that's not for a few months yet!!

On another note I was looking through my pressie rash before and have a bit more than I realised which is always good && I've just ordered my little brother a lightening McQueen remote control car from eBay for 10.00 including p&p and it's 25 in Disney shop last time I looked! So he's done along with my mum and oh cus and grandad and my step mum! I have a few bits for my sister stocking too nearer the time I'm going to make my gran, aunt and mum some little photo books from vista print! I need to wait till closer the time as the one for my gran is going to be of her gran kids as a baby and now and the one for my aunt is of her 3 little boys from their bdays etc up till now as they got older! Just need to keep my eyes open for deals on other bits for everyone else!
Does anybody know where you can get American sweets quite cheap as I want to do my oh a little American sweet hamper

Asda has Reeces peanut butter cups and lots of different Hersheys chocolate. Also have marshmallow fluff.

I haven't finished any of the Yankee jars I have yet, but previously with other candles if I have any wax left after the wick has burnt away or candles have tunnelled I chip it out then melt it like you would a wax tart in my burner!

The kringle ones sound fab, especially the Home For Christmas one.

Does anyone know if any shops stock them? like HOF/BHS etc?

Really wanted to watch Fred Claus last night but the disc was not in the case grrr, went to Cash converters today and they had 10 dvds for £10 so got 10 including 5 christmas ones one of which was Fred Claus! Worth a look in Cash converters as they always have 20 dvds for £20 or 10 for £10 in my local one and it includes all dvds even sealed ones if they have any! Good for movie baskets etc.

Have had a constructive Christmas afternoon - shame about the washing up and ironing and that I have forgot to take the meat out to defrost for dinner..............oops!

I have sorted out the 'present' cupboard wrote down all dd1 presents and put them all in a bag for life. She will be 6 at xmas and really struggling what to get her. And it's her birthday on 8th November and have no clue for that either! Big things I've got are pantomime tickets, a pushchair and she wants a pink swing which I have found in Argos fingers crossed it might be reduced at the end of summer though it is only £24.99 now! Ooh just remembered I bought the candy grabber from hawkins today for £4 which I'm sure she will love!

I also sorted out dd2 to be presents (Im due 21st Nov) so that dd1 doesn't think Santa would have left her sister out. Just a couple of bits things that attach onto the pram etc thanks to the Argos bargains on the grabbit board!

I have found some bits for the xmas elf and have wrote out some elfcapades think I have 13 at the moment!

Made a start on the shoebox appeal not got too much so far but have got a teddy, stationery set, stickers & some bracelets.

Found a few bits for xmas eve hamper such as a packet of reindeer food and our Santa key.

so a great afternoon :rotfl:

Aw. Luckily can order online, and looks like delivery to UK is only £2.50. Pretty good.
