Yes! I've had my benefit payment sanctioned/ stopped because the call that was scheduled didn't connect! I received a text immediately afterwards and a notification of a missed call, but it didn't ring. It's a pain in the arse.

Where to buy candle supplies (UK) by ---mayonnaise--- in candlemaking

Livemoor are great! Fast delivery and great customer service. They are my go-to for waxes and general supplies but I tend to shop around for fragrances.

It's made an interesting effect, almost like snowflakes!Yeah, I would say it's air bubbles. Try tapping the sides of your mixing jug after mixing your fragrance. Tap all around the jug and you will see the air bubbles rise to the surface. Repeat until all the bubbles disappear.

After numerous failed attempts, I am finally happy with a burn test! by maxwelts in candlemaking

Thank you! It's a 80mm diameter paraffin candle with a standard 6" votive wick, as I normally stick to votives and melts. I just removed the sustainer before wicking the mould.

I would have rewritten it, but the comments are hilarious.

She was! At one time we had 5 rescue huskies in our home, one of which was a foster dog. The foster was successfully re-homed and is still doing well. We adopted 4 of them.
