    I have nothing to report at the moment, but my dh had a wonderful womble last night. He had a work event, where partners were also invited. I did not go, because we did not want to hire a babysitter; my dds had already missed me 2 nights, I did not want to miss putting them to bed 3 nights in a row.


    Anyway, it turns out that from about 70 colleagues, only 15 turned up, a few with partners. They had a speech and a snack in some pub, and then were taken to a clothes store, where they were allocated a personal shopper, and were allowed to pick a whole new outfit! Dh got a pair of trousers, a neat jacket, 2 button-down shirts, and a woollen sweater. What a great idea for a work event! It probably saved the company money, too, because people did not drink, they were having way too much fun trying on clothes.

    Today I wombled well :D

    My mother LOVES candles, she has thousands, for some reason she had put a draw full of candles on the patio, this was over a year ago. They had been put through the elements of snow, rain and heat.

    Every time I go in the garden I see them. Today I popped out for a cigarette as I am round helping them have a spring clean and thought "ohhh I'll move them and put them in the skip" I then had a closer look and saw that apart from them being wet, they were all in a very good condition!

    I have taken them in, sorted through them and am now the owner of 80+ wombled candles, some are your normal unscented tea light candles but some are very nice smelling Christmas candles :D

    As some of you may know within 2 weeks I MAY just be the owner of my own canal boat, I will need to do some work on her and do some research on solar power, so candles will be one of my methods of light in the evening :D it's weird how things work out :)

    Imagine what gets thrown away in the dump which we could all reuse or sell :( literally breaks my heart!

    I shall upload pictures later of all the candles :D
