    confession time :o

    I wore a ted baker jacket out last night original cost about £350
    of course I did not pay that. I got it for about £75 in our outlet.
    anyway I had a few drinks last night, thought I was sober when I got home early.
    we have a candle burning outside for the Christmas period. I took the candle out of the lantern to blow it out. seen my favourite jacket of all time the next day covered in red candle wax.
    solution 1 which did not work too well was to freeze jacket for 6hrs and scrape wax off. it was too messy.
    solution 2 was to get kitchen paper (plenty) and use an iron at the warmest the fabric could take, with the paper in-between.
    I ironed slowly and could see the wax getting absorbed by the paper. I could not believe how good this worked as you would never know I had anything on jacket.
    I got the idea from youtube. where a man cleaned candle wax from a carpet. :D
    I know fc & ts like my confessions. ;)

    Now why did you not come and ask for advice this morning zippy you could have saved all that freezer space and got some beef in. ;)

    I see me and FC managed to come home without any mishaps from our nights out. :D

    I know men just cannot be trusted under the influence. ;)

    I didn't even have a hangover this morning. :T Think might have been something to do with the amount of food consumed, everything was so delicious I didn't even need any breakfast or lunch today. :cool:
