Sounds good, Gus. My method really showed the blighter who’s boss, however. Ooh - and almost made Mr Bee keel over in a faint. {Sniggle}

This time, I got a bleeding blister for wearing last year’s deck-shoes for the first time this year. Bah.

It bled.
I begged a sicking-plaster from a brewery for it. The plaster makes no pretence at being skin-coloured: it is bright, startling blue. But since it is inside my shoe, it doesn’t look as peculiar as it might.

Then you organised a patch-up in a brewery, dere: congrats!

All places involving food or drink have to use blue plasters, Fishy, so that they show up if they come adrift.
Hydrocolloid Blister Plasters have a cushion of gel/fluid which makes things more comfortable.
Were you sans socks? I have had both chilblains & blisters this winter, despite the wretched compression stockings

Sockless and bootless for the first time this year. I really should have known better!

Try silk socks, Fishy, or those for wearing with trainers, wot don’t come up as high, but still protect the feet

I am going mad here with the end of a stitch in my gum that is poking into my tongue

Oh, sorry about that, Twellsy. Hope the stitch softens soon. Something similar happened to me and it took about a day to settle down. Fingers crossed!

Oh I know that one too well!
If you have a pair of embroidery scissors that are very sharp indeed, and if Yon Bull feels able to, it is possible to snip off the end of a stitch which hurts, or at least, I once managed to. That might be worth a try.
Pour boiling water over the blades first to sterilise them.

I wouldn’t go anywhere near your mouth until the bleeding has stopped, TBH, Twellsy. Itizz the weekend, & you know how quickly you can go orff…
Nothing has settled, yet.
Lukewarm saltwater rinses, or whatever your dentist had recommended.

I don’t really need sympathy - a G&t would suffice - but I may have mentioned my poorly, fallen-upon knees and, now, my left hip has decided to provide extra stimulation of the painful variety. Ugh. So…

Pore wee Bee. Bucket of gin for the inner Bee, to be taken by mouth, and another of liniment, for topical application.
