Wowsers re the candle! Not good. I think I would be complaining to whoever you bought it from - that sounds like recall territory to me. Hope it hasn’t left you too shaken up and the rest of the clean up today is easy.KKAs at 15.04.24:

Candle sounds scary. I’m guessing that’s why they say don’t leave unattended 😳
Tasks will still be there tomorrow so a wise call to leave it until later. If only I’d have listened to my own advice. I’ve been through the house today as it wasn’t too bad. I’m so stiff now. I thought I’d have finished early afternoon but I’ve only just sat down. Now I remember why I do a bit at a time 🙄January spends - £587.584 -
Wow, I didn't know candles could do that.If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

I have been doing to much but am keen to push on while I have the urge. I am going through a lot of old paperwork, disgarding & shredding. My final aim is to pull together a folder of important paperwork for DS whenever he should need it.I am a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Mortgage Free Wannabe & Local Money Saving Scotland & Disability Money Matters.
