Sainsburys sell them in packs of 6. They look reasonably flickery.

[Mountain Goat]

Thank you, I already ordered some from lights4 fun ( classy name), not wasting any time here.

[Kenickie]

They are lovely.

My mum got me some larger fake candles for a housewarming present and they are nice and cosy. Tim has gone completely mad for them as they have a remote control to change colours.

[Mountain Goat]

I got a remote control too. Not to change colour but just to turn them on and off, and only to tip my total into free delivery zone, but I will probably be like Tim.

[Livilla]

Oh, I had no idea they could be remote-controlled! Genius

[Kenickie]

I hope you sit there for an hour clicking it on and off every couple of seconds. ;)

[Mountain Goat]

I will for the first hour until I lose it.

[Princess Morripov]

I have both of those (big candles and little tea lights) and they are great, no worries of anyone igniting themselves and the boys definitely love the disco candle function

Disco disco

My bugs are up!

[Pippedydeadeye]

That spot was made for them!

[Wiggle]

Oh they do look good in their new home

[baargain]

It's a pointless pillar, but is excellent for a row of three pictures

[Morganna]

They look excellent.

[Squirrel]

They look great Baa, and perfect for that space.

[baargain]

Thanks, guys!

I want to put googly eyes on the bread bin next it hinges up like a big ol mouth.

[Estrella]

They look so good there, Baa!

[rosy]

Your bugs look so good on that pillar, Baa!

I needed a new frame for a 20*30 drawing. Yesterday I took P to IKEA for stuff for his new place - he wanted to look at everything in the showrooms even though I tried to suggest the shortcuts - and despite saying 20*30 in my head I simply panicked and picked up a 40*50 frame along with £££ of other nonsense.

However, where I want to put this drawing - above a big mahogany sideboard - really demands a big frame.

I’ve got a mount which might work so I’ve laid it on top of the frame - does this look silly with the cream and then white space or do you think it will be ok?

[baargain]

Mmm I think it needs a frame that fits it properly. I think it'll niggle at you.

[Morganna]

I agree. A framer will be able to cut you a bigger mount to fit the frame, and that would probably look a lot better and cost less than a new frame, if you can't easily return that one for exchange.

I’d just order a new mat online for the frame. I really love how a large mat looks.
