Well, it seemed a perfectly normal post to me. As do their previous posts on here, so I also don't understand your comment"some people never learn." But maybe I'm just naive.

I THINK (but stand to be corrected) that food moths, clothes moths and carpet moths are all different. Steamer sounds like it did the trick, but I don't fancy steaming the whole of my house and anything made of wool silk or cotton :(

It's a forum, Dulwich Fox. I respond to many people's posts. You can click on my name and see that for yourself. ETA: And you will also see that I don't "remark" "whenever" you post. ETA: You can't pick and choose who replies to your posts and what they say, Dulwich Fox. The forum isn't run just for you.

I was totally worrying unnecessarily. It's all gone really smoothly and everything is still there. Thanks so much to those who replied by PM etc.. Much appreciated!

No. I've had to resort to a piece of paper magnetted to my fridge. One side for blue bin dates, one side for green. Working so far. I turn the piece of paper over after the collection :)

Don't go with BT. Their customer service is abysmal, in my experience.

I shall be there. On the march, not in the emergency session :))

ALL councils, whoever runs them, are having to find ways of cutting costs and raising money because of government cuts in their funding. Last time I looked we had a Tory government. Maybe it's them you should be having a go at.

I have a smaller green bin than the standard size, as I don't have much landfill. Just contact the council.

At least green and brown are colours which occur in nature.

I'm going to say double sided tape it, to add a bit of controversy :)

The conservatory (?) room at the back of Tart on Lordship Lane is lovely, and will be even more so when the trees outside have come into leaf! It's light, with lots of plants about. Their food is yummy too, plus they have a deal on two glasses of Prosecco :) And it's usually pretty quiet on a Saturday lunchtime. ETA: Also very reasonably priced. ETA: Otherwise, we find the front bar part of Franklins relaxing on Saturday lunchtimes, but you may not, depending on how many people are in there. You can have a choice from the main menu (more expensive), the brunch menu (less expensive and reasonably priced) or the bar menu (some overlap with the brunch menu). Very yummy Welsh Rarebit. Eggy bread with maple syrup and very very nice bacon. Other yummy things. And a great pint of Guinness. ETA: And the music is quietish in both places and certainly doesn't interfere with conversation.

Oh yeh, I've still got a list somewhere :))

exdulwicher, no, same old phone, I've only just finished paying for it (interest-free credit, obv :)) ) New sim/new contract I can't copy texts and phone records to a sim card, can I? I will deffo try looking for an app. Not worried about the photos, they are saved on the phone/on the cloud somewhere. I don't really care about people seeing my messages, there's nothing incriminating :)) I once had a mobile that when I got a new one, I just had to hold the new one over the old one and it copied everything from it. Amazing. When I were young we didn't even have a phone :))

wolis, yes! The electrical tennis racquet is brilliant! Very satisfying, I agree. I got one last year from the pound shop to see if it worked. It did. Sadly when I went back to get one for each room, they were all sold out. However, it only works if the (male) moth is actually flying around so you can zap it. And not much use for the female moths because you can't actually get at them with the racquet (unless you have some special technique?!) KidKruger, I thought my moths had gone. I got rid of all my carpets too, as you know. Sadly I have a pile of rugs and hangings because of the work being done on the house, so need to make sure they have lots of moth paper things in between them :(

Most people know this. However in order to prevent the damage caused by the larvae, it is obviously necessary to control the adults - the females who lay the eggs which become the larvae, and the males who fertilise the females. ETA: The females do not "jump around", in my experience. They crawl very quickly on a surface, and can also hide in crevices and under furniture extremely quickly.

Thanks. I bought that a year or so ago, but the instructions make it impossible to use. I can't remember why now but it's something like you have to go back into the room to do something after you have sprayed it? I meant to phone them, but never got round to it. I don't have a huge problem now as long as I keep on top of replacing the papers and traps on time. I used to use spray canisters but I stopped when a parrot was staying with me for a year and now I don't feel I want to add to my current health problems by breathing in chemicals :( Thanks re inbox, I keep deleting stuff but it keeps filling up :(

I'm changing from BT (crap customer service) to iD (better deal, unless Carphone Warehouse goes bust) and my number is porting over on Wednesday. I vaguely remember going through all this before, many times, but I can't remember what I did. It's an Android phone. 1. I presume my contacts are saved via gmail or whatever, but how do I get them onto the new Sim card, or don't I need to? 2. Is there any way I can save texts, or do I have to go through all the threads and make a note of anything I may need to know the date/contents of in the future? 3. Is there any way I can save my record of phone calls? (this may be important as I'm presently in the throes of a formal complaint to my insurance company). Or should I just take a load of screenshots of the call record? Would I be better taking my mobile into a Carphone Warehouse shop and letting them do it? I have very bad memories of somebody in "customer services" once talking me through it over the phone, and suddenly first my mobile was filled up with every contact who had ever sent me an email, except it wasn't because it wouldn't hold them all, and then he lost all the contacts (finally finding them again, to both our relief). I am quite ill and very stressed out at the moment (pause for sympathy) and would like as far as possible a stress-free network changeover :) I would be extremely grateful for any help, preferably in tech-free words of one syllable :)
