Great big effing boil on my neck! Help!

I've NEVER had a boil, ever, and now, 4 days after I go from long hair to a short bob, I've got something that looks like another nipple. It HURTS! I've put metanium on it and it's coming up to a point but there's no head on it. I don't feel too well either but that might be unrelated.

What should I do?! Help!

It was the poster asking about mincmeat attachments that sent me over the edge Grin

MigratingCoconuts · 17/08/2011 14:33

Gawd I love this thread. And the other one. Am impressed that Sauron has got himself a hobby already - p'raps he'll join the WI soon?

PSML at the "Anyone got the mince meat attachment?" innocent comment.

HazeltheMcWitch · 17/08/2011 14:43

PS - Holly, are you a writer? You should be.

excellent work.

I'm just marking my place so I can check that the OP stays alive :)

faverolles · 17/08/2011 15:26

So pleased this has made it to classics! Best thread ever

Update at 1600

After much ribbing from the parents, I let them look under my compress. My mum gasped "Mother of God, it's got 9 heads!"

If I put my head back, they come up for air! My dad wants me to rub butter in and "feed it."

Then they bent me over the breakfast bar and took more photos. I'm 40 and I let them get away with this! Husband said "Don't show me, I'll vomit."

It's leaking, but not gone. The anticipation is killing me!

Good news is the extended pink bit is disappearing so the ABs seem to be doing something!

This is rotten. Even Jodieharsh will wince.

Given its appearance in kitchenaids (loving it joining the WI) perhaps it should be named Kath Kidston? I think she would be proud.

Hazelthewitch, I've dabbled, but for now I'm a spotty housewife.

"they bent me over the breakfast bar"
Sounds like a bad porn movie.

Portofino · 17/08/2011 16:40

I am desperate to stick pins in it!

"they bent me over the breakfast bar"

Oh the fun I could have had if I hadn´t gone to the DrsGrin

When I'm using my Kitchenaid from now on, I shall be thinking of your boil.

GlaikitFizzog · 17/08/2011 17:42

I've been out all day so just catching up! I luaghed to hard a little bit of wee came out at the kitchenaid hijack!

So is it a split personality cyst now it has multiple heads.

Head 1 - CystFabregas
Head 2 - Sauron, evil twin of CystFabregas, hell bent on taking over the world Holly's neck
Head 3 - Kath Kitson, younger sister of Sauron and Cyst, who is a baking fiend, with a secret ingredient in her custard tarts.
We jusy need names for head 4 5 6 7 8 and 9. Suggestions on a post card a'la naming Blue Peter dogs! :o

MigratingCoconuts · 17/08/2011 17:47

Joyce...Glad to hear it Grin does it have a mince meat attachment? (its important)

AtYourCervix · 17/08/2011 17:53

I just don't know what to say.

JoyceBarnaby · 17/08/2011 18:04

Sadly not, MigratingCocomuts. I've never had a boil, either. I feel a bit cheated by life today.

MonkeyJungleConga · 17/08/2011 18:09

OMG this thread was already a corker but the whole KitchenAid thing has just completely sent it soaring to the No.1 top thread of all time IMO. I have never laughed so much at a thread before - tears streaming down my face.

Hope it gets better soon tho.

MigratingCoconuts · 17/08/2011 18:13

Joyce...on the whole, I'd rather have the mince meat attachment! Tough call, I know...

shmoz · 17/08/2011 18:29

OP, have you ever seen the film 'How to get a head in advertising'? Just wondered.... Smile

LetUsPrey · 17/08/2011 19:05

I can see it now ... A Greggs sausage roll in one hand, a Fruit Shoot in the other with a Daily Mail tucked under your arm, screaming "It was the voice! It made me do it! THE VOICE OF SAURON!!!!!"

catinboots · 17/08/2011 19:06

shmoz - I've already asked this Grin

I suggest you buy it and watch it OP
