Title: Splinters
Post by: Miss Demeanour on May 21, 2009, 02:11:16 PM
Ouch....

I have just been dismantling an old picture frame - for that read smashing it to bits  - but the bastard thing has taken it's own revenge and pierced me in the thumb.

I have taken the tweezers to it but have only managed to dislodge the bit that was sticking out the surface ....without picking the skin around it is there and easier way to get it out or will I die  sad24:

Soak afflicted digit in HOT water. It might raise the splinter enough to have another grab at it with the tweezers.

Ok I have soaked my thumb .....until it is prune like and have attacked with tweezers and needle. I am now not sure if I have got the remaining offending material out of my thumb as it is so red and sore form the massacre that all sensation is lost.

Actually some parts of Bristol are really good but it is mostly shite I agree. Not what it was when I first knew it. Anyway don't worry 'bout your geography ~ it seems BM doesn't know his Devon from his Cornwall.
