duffman Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 I heard a strange fact today, people of Rotherham 81% of you have candles but don't burn them What do you the people of Sheffield do with your candles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Maiden Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 this is perhaps a forgone conclusion for anyone who knows me, but I burn mine. In different ways and for different things. Sometimes I put essential oils on them, then burn them - which is far more effective as a room deodoriser than these flippin scented candles. You also have a wider range of scents to choose from and can choose an essential oil that will help you as well as smell nice. Moon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazB Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Admittedly, I like candles. They look good but when in use they create a romantic, relaxing atmosphere. At the weekend when I stayed in a hotel with the bird, I closed the curtains, put on some really chilled music (plenty of oldies like Meatloaf, Otis Redding etc) and lit a couple of scented candles, plus around 10 tea-light candles. The gentle flicker of candle-light is much better than dull daylight (was raining) and easily beats the normal electric lights.. even with a dimmer! But that's just me.

Mosherchik Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 You see the little cotton bit that sticks out at one end?....Its called a wick and you light it with a flame from a match, a taper, or if youre feeling a little devil may care a blowtorch *Im being facetious * I used to use candles a lot as I was very big in the whole essential oils and incense chilling like a hippy kinda thing. Then my dad complained I was making the house smell like a tarts boudour and Ive not done it since Also my mum and sis are scared of flames...and I am a rampant pyromaniac at times so yet another reason why I have been banned from candle use! It sounds weird but I liked fiddling with the molten wax and making little dudes.... Im gonna stop there before people think Im a psycho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosherchik Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Playdough was great! I used to love squeezing through all the things and making little worms!!!!!!!! *ahem* not mad! I even went through a phase of crafting actual playdough people in an attempt to be the next Nick Park!.... ....That dream soon died when I realised I lack the patience to keep putting its legs back on when they fell off!!!!!!!
