until you get your airlock, you can make one. Assuming you have a rubber stopper with a hole, buy a length of tubing longer than the height of your carboy and wide enough to fit inside the stopper. Make sure it is a snug fit! Put the tubing in the stopper and put the other end in a bucket or bowl of water next to the carboy. The CO2 will bubble out into the water and the wild beasties won't be able to get into the precious mead!

Naturally, getting an airlock would be easier!
 
The only place I've ordered from is Northern Brewer. The prices seem reasonable and the goods arrived in a timely fashion.
