    Actually thats quite nice. I hate e bay though. I bet it sells for £400.00 in 3 weeks time. I am a typical woman you know.. I want it YESTERDAY. Still want a hanging one.

    that's a nice lamp, Nut: i have bought one exactly the same shape and size but in silver (I actually would have preferred copper) a few years ago in homebase. I still have to learn how to refill it, but it will come...

    Hi Mira
    Mine has a little screw off top on the base and you simply fill from there. I got a weeny funnel with mine. You do have to be careful not to fill past the level that they recommend.
    I love mine, it gives such a warm glow. I am thinking of putting them all round the garden :) Anyway wheres the pic of yours :) plz :)

    here it is, Nut. This was a good chance to give it a clean and find the oil to fill it (bottle next to it).
    Now I just need the wick and then I can actually use it !!!
