WTG Sassy! Such a good girl barking!

Advice for the naughty Mum:
It'll be OK to burn candles again... just don't leave them unattended. Always clear the area around them first... make sure there is nothing that can topple over onto them. No matter how long it says you can burn them for get into the habit of only burning them for half an hour. Set a timer if you have to. If you have to walk away make sure to check on them at least every five minutes. IF you think you'll being doing something that will distract you too much from remembering the candle, then wait until you do have time.

Following that advice i have never burned anything that i didn't mean to burn (besides my hand when i was younger and still learning the rules of life.)
