I had a corn removed on my little toe (in January!!) and the callous area around it is still very tender, to the extent that I can't wear a shoe (not funny in this weather). Has anyone heard of using...

Have you ever smelt fox poo?

My dog rolled in something which was absolutely vile - not anything dead, I think, but it had a really strong, pungent throat-gagging ammonia pong. I've never smelt anything like it before, thank...

Dents in carpet
