Smelly shoes
Hi I've done a search on here but, apart from herbal tea bags, no ideas!

Would you do OS if you didn't have to?!
vfairbrass's thread about it not being worth it reminded me of the above query which I keep meaning to post. I find OS living quite a confusing issue sometimes - lots of it (the bits I use anyway!) seems to be about thrifty living, and this I follow because I have to.

How to fix a bra?
Sorry if this has been addressed previously - I did a search, but bra is only 3 letters long and I think it falls underneath the search threshold. I have an ongoing problem with the underwire in my bras - after a month or so, it pops right through the fabric either underneath my armpit or through the middle bit. None of my…
