FREE candles. That seems very generous. Are you making them? I'd like a free candle but you should tell us more about your business as well, it's only fair if we're getting a free candle!

metired · 06/08/2003 10:03

sorry, there is no catch, I don't make them myself, i do partyplan, I am trying to make way for new stock as we are just about to launch the new autumn and xmas product, so I thought that a good way of letting people know how gorgeous they are would be to give away free samples, we have over 50 different smells, let me know what sort of smell you like, fruity, flowery, lavender, my favs are honeydew - crisp melony smell brilliant for getting rid of nappy smells and solitude a cool smell for locking yourself away in the bathroom and chilling, or I could send 1/2 dozen t-lites of different smells,

I'd love some free candles but don't have anything to swap .

Would you take some children ?

ThomCat · 06/08/2003 11:20

Lou I'll provide her with enough DVDs from the both of us!
PS - any more crap DVDs you fancy Lou??

doormat · 06/08/2003 11:56

I would be interested metired if you dont mind.

I love candles especially the magnolia and vanilla from glade, that is sooo gorgeous.

doormat · 06/08/2003 11:57

ps I have a fat, sweaty dh to swap if you like

codswallop · 06/08/2003 11:58

codswallop · 06/08/2003 11:58

I am Taurean - can you tell?

SoupDragon · 06/08/2003 12:08

I'll wait to hear if she accepts small children as a swap...

Carriel · 06/08/2003 12:29

Hiya

Will gloss over the fact that this is a business ad as everyone seems happy with their freebies, but if you're contacting metired could you possibly use the email she's given on this page rather than contacting her via mumsnet - every email has to be manually forwarded and we're a bit short staffed due to summer hols.

Thanks

eidsvold · 06/08/2003 12:30

I too would love a sample but don't have anything to swap either and no way would you get my dd or dh..

solitude sounds fab - seem to get so little of that these days ...

anais · 06/08/2003 12:50

HAs anyone heards off the LETTS trading scheme? It's a scheme whereby members swap goods/services rather than using money. Would be fab if we could have some kind of scheme on Mumsnet...

lou33 · 06/08/2003 13:05

Ooh thanks TC! Would quite like her to take my middle two kids tho .

I wouldn't mind the horror videos if you have any knocking around, would keep dh quiet. That now means I don't have naything to swap with 2 people. Luckily I have enough kids.

lou33 · 06/08/2003 13:27

Metired I just had your email returned saying address not recognised, is the email address right or have you put a typo in?

codswallop · 06/08/2003 13:28

ThomCat · 06/08/2003 13:44

Lou consider it done, have to leave now but will look up yr address again, or remind me of it if ypou don't mind and I'll send them to you when I'm back next week.
Big love - TC xx

sorry enough kids of my own and 1 sweaty husband is more than enough for anyone, couldn't cope with anymore, I shall be sending freebies later on in the week, will e-mail you personally, thanks for all the interest I may be able to turn the dining room back into a dining room instead of a candle store.

metired your email is not recognised, sorry but is it the right one

metired · 06/08/2003 14:24

I am receiving the e-mails but for some reason everyone is getting them returned as well, I will e-mail replies to everyone, please can someone confirm on mumsnet that they have received a reply as I don't want anyone to think that I'm not going to live up to my promise
