Terrified - got HUGE, HUGE moth in the kitchen
Help!!!!!!!!! How can I get rid of a HUGE moth that's in my kitchen. It's absolutely huge. It would cover the top of my computer mouse if it landed on it. I don't mind moths normally, just the little ones but this thing is !!!!!! huge. Don't think the Dyson would cope with it, probably get jammed in the hose, yuk.

Greek Yogurt in Soup???
Hi All, I have some veg soup in the SC. I also have some nearly dodgy greek yogurt in the fridge, I am not going to be able to eat it all before it goes off.

Make your own toiletries
Do you know how to make your own toiletries? & where do you buy the ingredience from? I have found that bannana, olive oil, porrage, avocado mixed make a good facemask. Salt or sugar make a good exfoliant. How about shampoo, bubblebath & soap. Sorry can you move this post to OldStyle for me.

I recently bought a book from Ebay and although it is in good condition it stinks of smoke! I usually make sure they say "from smoke free home" in the listing but didn't on this occasion. Is there any way of getting rid of this smell? Its horrible.
