Great big effing boil on my neck! Help!

BagofHolly · 13/08/2011 12:48

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!

Grin "fingers like cows tits" Holly stop, you are making nearly pee myself. I will miss your posts when Resident Evil has gone. Can you do a blog please? Grin

Sidge · 18/08/2011 21:16

Where do you live? I'll do it for you!

I'm qualified and everyfing.

Catsmamma · 18/08/2011 21:22

what a bugger it's not winter, no one would have looked askance at your polo necked wedding outfit

i hope you get to go! and the bride doesn't kill you for stealing her thunder.

JetLi · 18/08/2011 21:23

Getting smacked off your tits on pain killers before the visit sounds like the way to go Holly.
Pashmina, artfully draped on Saturday?

mummylin2495 · 18/08/2011 21:24

My niece is getting married on saturday in Bournemouth ,i will be scanning everyones bare shoulders now !!

BagofHolly · 18/08/2011 21:31

Sidge we're in Essex, a non TOWIE bit.

Mummylin, if it's the same wedding, just listen carefully in the quiet bits, and you'll hear him muttering gently about the Rubbing In method!

Aah a bit far for me I'm afraid.

Hope you're better soon and enjoy the wedding.

Remember, codeine based medication and alcohol will leave you off your head and flying high, so best not to drive but bloody marvellous for pain relief. Grin

mummylin2495 · 18/08/2011 21:52

what is the brides initial the bride in the wedding i am going to starts with D

Tigerbomb · 18/08/2011 21:56

you poor thing

It reminds me of an old film - The Manitou Grin

BagofHolly · 18/08/2011 22:06

Mummylin, it's just outside Bournemouth and she's not a D. Shame! It'd be nice to have someone meet him in RealLife.

Hang on, the wedding is in Bmth and you're coming from Essex?

I'm on your way! Pop in and I'll sort you out

BagofHolly · 18/08/2011 22:14

Sidge how fab would that be? Potters Bar Services here we come!

G'wan I am the Queen of Erupting Pustules.

I have a Tissue Viability sistificate and everyfing.

Potters Bar is a bit far north, I'll meet you in West Quay, Ikea's cafe. We can sterilise the cutlery as required for incising it and pack it with some of their fabric - what goes best with your outfit?

WipsGlitter · 18/08/2011 22:28

Oh. My. God.

Respect.

mummylin2495 · 18/08/2011 22:35

Oh i dont think i could stomach it ,but i would be suitably sympathetic to you with your alien body growth Grin

honeyandsalt · 18/08/2011 22:35

Haha! As for the A5 dressing - pashmina? Jacket? Get the twins to draw a cheery design on it (before it goes on, obv)? You'll certainly entertain those sitting behind you while they await the start of the ceremony that way.

HouseOfBamboo · 18/08/2011 22:44

Holly - I think the wedding outfit situation can be saved, how about something like this to keep Cyd under wraps:

Foxy

Or <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=hat+with+a+tail&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&biw=1328&bih=639&tbm=isch&tbnid=9G69JuB5IASINM:&imgrefurl=www.arctic-store.com/servlet/the-117/davy-crockett-fur-hat/Detail&docid=G8cKPA4ESqtUVM&w=450&h=444&ei=XIZNTu60KYq58gOxwZDDBw&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=316&vpy=254&dur=834&hovh=223&hovw=226&tx=100&ty=147&page=1&tbnh=168&tbnw=166&start=0&ndsp=19&ved=1t:429,r:7,s:0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this as a more drastic measure if he hasn't receded very far by Saturday?

banana87 · 18/08/2011 22:46

Bloody hell. Curiousity got the better of me and I just read this ENTIRE thread including pictures. Holly, you are amazing to have gotten through that without pulling your hair out or throwing yourself in out of a window. Ouch!

GlaikitFizzog · 18/08/2011 22:50

HouseofBamboo those are A-MAZ-ING!

I was thinking of something more like this, seeing as we are mourning the passing of beloved CystFabregas.

Thebonkers · 18/08/2011 22:53

House of Bamboo, having read this thread avidly over the past days and chuckled away I have genuinely wet myself a bit amd ;aughed like a nutter at that first picture.....jesus how do I explain to my dh why i'm so busy these days keeping up with the boilblog

BagofHolly · 18/08/2011 23:09

Houseofbamboo, if only it wasn't August!

Given the situation I've had to have a rethink, so I'm drawn to this look from Givenchy. I think accessorised properly, with a strong lip colour, I could get away with it.

HouseOfBamboo · 18/08/2011 23:20

Holly - very fabulous indeed, maybe with fuschia lips? But then again, it's a white outfit, and you don't want him to be upstaging the bride now.

Re Foxy - I know, it's not your traditional summer wedding outfit, but August is the new November so I think you might just get away with it.

GlaikitFizzog · 18/08/2011 23:21

ROFL!

Clarence15 · 19/08/2011 07:45

Ah ha! The boil thread takes an interesting new fashion turn. Now that Givenchy fashion leather mask looks useful but isn't that Rhydian from Xfactor modelling it?

Do you think he knew of it's uses for Vesuvius-covering wedding attire when he signed up for that shoot?

chocolateyclur · 19/08/2011 08:47

Am imagining boil singing loudly and enthusiastically at the wedding. There's something monty python-esque about the picture in my mind.
