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:
-
Needle. Hooge one. And a good old poking!
Not on my list, will add
-
Any alternatives rubschin:
-
Nope. BIG NEEDLE. Also please log in symptoms thread. Ah yes, I must amend it
-
Soak afflicted digit in HOT water. It might raise the splinter enough to have another grab at it with the tweezers.
-
I love tweezering splinters cloud9:
Maybe I should pop round. Like Androcles and the Lion rubschin:
-
My Dad used to swear by a sugar and soap poltice for himself however, for us it was always the needle. scared2:
-
It will go septic prolly... noooo:
I'll ammend the numbers on the poll for the party shall I...? sad24:
-
Needle.
Then TCP like. Or vodka (externally)
-
It's all red and swollen now eyes:
I am going to try the soaking it technique first ...sounds much less painful whistle:
Oh and I like the vodka idea to lol:

Wno are you seeing there? And isn't that practically at Nick's house?
-
Nowhere near Nick's ~ opposite end of the country but it is close to Grumpmeister ~ he could arrange to meet him whilst he is down there.
-
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.
Can I just say ...ouch evil:

Actually if Miss D is in Somerset, BM & LL are in Devon. Wenchy could go with Mr Wench to Cardiff, Grumpmeister is in Cornwall and Bristol is a lot nearer to me that Epsom ~ Why The F*ck are we not meeting this weekend in Bristol or somewhere sensible like that?
At least it would have spared me the M25 on a Friday evil:
-
Where is GM - he is also awfully quiet rubschin:
I might have to bring my mother if we were meeting in Bristol - believe me - no one wants that noooo:
-
I think he posted mainly from werk and is now on redundancy leave. I know he is heavy into gaming so presumably has a PC at home but perhaps he is taking the chance of seeing old friends, having a holiday, visiting his homelands. Shrugs:
-
False alarm!
We are going to Cornwall... whistle:
-

You are not here for your health you know. Rally the troops and all that. Get to it man!
-
I shall be busy eating and drinky prolly... Mostly drinking like...
However, we will be staying at Calstock...? Shrugs:
-
Seek him out ~he's the one with a Geordie Accent and no shirt on. There can't be many nurses like that in Cornwall ~ look for the holes in his chest where he used to pin his watch. ;)

And the Star Trek costume whistle:

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.
