No tips other than those mentioned CLP, but ouch, it looks mighty painful!!!

Happy Hump Day!

Hold the finger under running cold tap for as long as you can bear to, and use washing up liquid to massage it off the finger.

WARNING - make sure the plug is in or it could go down the plughole!!

Good luck, it does look painful, I've done the same thing myself!

JG x

What more of an excuse do you need than to visit a fire station. In fact I might go to bed with my rings on tonight...LOL xx

No tip from me I'm afraid, apart from the butter one already mentioned.

AliB

Hi Chris and the gang,

I read the blog everyday so though id better get writting!!

Tell your friend to try washing up liquid, i find that usually does the trick.

Looking forward to the show tonight.

Jenni

suck the finger and pull the ring off - works for me everytime!

PS - she can suck her finger herself or ask someone to help?

Sorry CLP, Mrs Tango did that last year....it's an A & E trip I'm afraid, to cut it off....the ring that is, not the finger..!!!!

TBx

Afternoon everyone, from a dull, overcast and dreary day.

As already mentioned, cold water and washing-up liquid, works for me!

Bingo - good luck on your quest to be a train driver, you seem very passionate. Hope you succeed!

Pen xx

Jenni - welcome to the blog!

Pen xx

Try all of the above and if all else fails then the trip to A&E is the way forward... though I prefer the idea that the Fire Station is an alternative :)))

-x-x-x-

Ooooooo Dale is playing 'our tune'.................swoon!!!

Pen xx

AliB and Lyndyloo.....girls girls girls.....norty thoughts re fireman and hoses then???
LOL

TBx

No problem - reduce swollen finger by applying ice making sure hand is above head height. Finger should go down enough to use any of the above as long as greasy, butter best, then you can do what Baggy does - suck the finger until the ring comes off.

Repeat as necessary until you have eaten too much butter!

If it works - can I have the ring? - looks nice.

Beezer xx

Or of course there is always the Firemen!!!

Beez xxx

Is it me or does the ring look a little small anyway?! I sleep in mine no probs. Sorry not very helpful but once she gets it off maybe she should get it made a little bigger?

Me I would call the firemen but then thats me! LOL!

BUT I am going with cooling it as much as finger owner can bear to contract finger.

There is also a trick with cotton thread where you wrap it round and the ring comes off - will see if I can find it on tinternet for you

Straight to the fire station of course!!

Pen - whats your 'tune'??

Darce xx

I see the mention of dental floss so guessing the same principle.

Smarties - I'm glad you said that, I never take mine off either. Would have lost them for sure if I had!!

Darce xx

Hi Darce, Dr Hook - A Little Bit More


When your body's had enough of me

And I'm laying flat out on the floor

When you think I've loved you all I can

I'm gonna love you a little bit more

Goose bumps now! Silly old sod aren't I??

Bazza, what did you say that was norty this morning?

Pen xx

Hello lovelies!!

How about combining AliB's and Bagpuss's suggestions and getting a fireman to suck the ring off???

(Tinsel goes off into a little daydream ...)

Anyway, sorry I've been AWOL recently. Had a bad week last week, had to get my lovely dog put to sleep, she had acute kidney failure. It was really sudden and a horrible shock, but at least she didn't suffer. I've been feeling very blue since but reading the blog keeps me going through the day so thanks folks.

Much love to all

Bazza - #145, this morning!!

Pen xx

Pee ess Tinsel, so sorry to hear about your dog {{xx}}

CLP..... ave just read the blog..... soz about Marion's finger situation..... ave goot the answer...... if a come ter R2 with some cotton wool and a rope...... and some WD40.... basically can a borrow yer F430 CLP??????
Ave goot racing driver sensitivity in me right foot!!!!!!!

Basically.... yer need ter tie Marion ter the drainpipe outside R2..... with the rope.... then feed the cotton wool or INDEED cotton would do.... in fact i'd say cotton iz better!!!
Feed it inside each side of the offending ring and tie the other end/ ends of the ring ter the tow 'ook/ eye on yer F430!!!!!
Then with 'racing driver' sensitivity.... and am noot one ter boast but a feel am the only person with the feel for this job.... VERY, VERY, VERY gently ease forward until the ring....... releases!!!!!!!!!!

And in the true form of Top Gear's.... the Stig.... a also will require..... Englebert 'umperdink ter be playing on yer 430 radio'Please Release Me!!!' whilst.... executing.... the monurveure in question!!!!!!
And don't worry if yuv noot gotta 'umperdink CD.... yer could play it on yer show via the R2 BIG 'it computer and a could ave yer 430 radio tuned ter R2!!!!!!!!!
Sometimes being a dj.... yer can abuse yer position without even the boss knowing.... know what am sayin'!!!!!!

Ave a spelt monourvenure correeectly????????

Do yer want me ter come down ter the Western 'ouse CLP/ Marion???@@@??

A won't even charge or try ter claim me tube fare!!!!!!!

Am noot like that!!!!!!!

Chow!

Penny Forem - BIG THANKS for the good luck with the train driver thingy!!!!!!
A am VERY passionate.... the blogger who's nam eam noot allowed ter mention would tell yer!!!!!!!

Ave always bee passionate about the railways.... but noot i a nerdy train spotter sense!!!!!

Plus i'd be 100% safe.... safety iz the top priority az a train driver.... it's one big thing that appeals ter me... the proffessionalism.... unlike being a trucker sharing the road with all the nutters!!!!!!!!!

Sad thing iz... ave been trying ter become a train driver for years... but it seems like fate won't let me!!!!!!

Even passed two appitude tests.... consisiting of.... mechanical knowledge, memory, concetration.... and safe personality!!!!!

Although the last.... yer might find 'ard ter believe after reading me blogs!!!!!

Bingo - #25, in a word, priceless!!!!!!

Pen xx

pee ess, would that name be our Suzie, by any chance?!!!

Penny....cant remember, think it may have been lyrics to Club Tropicana...??? Shirley not tho'...

Deevs, can you remember what my post was at 145...you followed with NO COMMENT, but not sure who that was aimed at, me or a n other?

TBx

Marion could always try visiting North Yorkshire...!



JG x

Penny - 'ope the ring ain't priceless!!!!!!!!!

Wasn't it Ali that got moderated with her Wham lyrics - Baz got away with his!! Mind you Pen you might get moderated with yours now!

Darce xx

Darce....that's what I thought...hence my comment to aliB re norty step destination...hey ho...x

Hi all

Best advice i have for getting a ring off is using hemerroid (sp?) cream. Put it on and leave it a while so it shrinks the finger a bit then you might still need butter or washing up liquid just to ease it off.

I with the opinions of looks a bit small anyway.

Seza x

Def agree with the Fireman reply...

Or, I'd have said do wot Bees Mum suggests...v cold, ice or similar, wrap hand in frozen ps etc, above head height, for as long as you can bare, then butter or vaseline...is best to avoid any panic as this will just make Marion more hot and bothered, and much less likely to be able to remove it at all.

Might I also suggest that she wears it on a different finger to avoid further complications of this matter???

Me, still itchy and in quite a bit of pain too. Doc is being very tight with the pain killers. Feels like I’m lying on stones all the time, and sometimes it feels like the sort of noise an angle grinder makes…if you know what I mean…also not allowed in the sun as the pills have made my skin quite photo sensitive…although the Badger says that I don’t glow in the dark. Which is nice…

Anyhoo, only just back to work properly today…so not busy at all…NOT!! The locum didn’t clear the million emails that were rubbish, so I had to plough through those Mondee, then off again yesterdee (long story don’t arst), and typing up minutes from a meeting held three weeks ago…and I can’t read half my writing, least of all merember wot they all said!

Anyhoo, gotta shoot…my colleegew has promised these minutes to everyone in England by Friday pm, and it’s nearly home time today already EEEEK etc…

I've missed you all SOOOOOOOOOO
love

Peas a taddy bit of quite good news...the Badger is working at the Limpic Village. Hoorah. Hopefully that is going to be more or less regular up to 2012 (or 2013 heh heh!)

Firstly ice to bring the swelling down (if it gets desperate try ibuprofen) then try washing up liquid - if you put neat washing up liquid on your finger and then add water you might be able to get it to wiggle a bit nad if the swelling has gone down you might be able to get it off.

Also, if you can tear yourself away from the fire men, a jewller will probably be able to cut the ring for ou, they did for my mum

Seza x

Darce,- watch my face, am I bovvered!!!!lol

Darce xx

Haze...great to hear from you again......still not 100% and back at work booooooooo. Nice poem.

Tinsel....so sad about your dog....trust me, I know the pain you're going though.....is a replacement on the cards???

Seza...what a good idea to use the 'H' cream...that should work wonders.

±«Óãtv time now...have a good eve all.

TB x

TBx

Apologies for my tardiness ... bin bizzy!

Baz - if you read this later, my "No Comment" on previous blog was in response to Baggy's #144. So soz, can't remember why you got moddied.

Deevs

Back from the gym, hope everyone had a good day and will have a good evening. Getting ready for the England v Holland game although I'll be watching the Scotland and Mexico games respectively.....

I've managed to escape the mad house, only to return to one as equally mad...never mind!

Tins, sorry about your dog, my last one had pancreatitis which came on really quickly, I was absolutely gutted and so unprepared for it {{Hugs}}

Baz, I can't remember what you wrote either!

We have the Scotland match on too, with the England one to follow...I can't really get too enthusiatic for England friendlies, too many subs!

Weekend plans are still a bit up in the air, although Finlay is going to the groomers Sat am for his pre-holiday hair-do and manicure! Mr JG working until 9pm on Fri and Sat nights, so I would guess "not a lot"!!

JG x

oooooo tins, sorry about your dog (your friend). I had to put my golden down a year and a half ago. He was 16 and just couldn't stand any more, poor thing. That was one of the saddest days of my life. But know I have the daphster and what a ball of fire she is. I forgot how much energy a puppy has over an older dog. Oh well.

Tins, v sorry about your dog. They become such a part of your family.

This weekend I have nothing on the calendar - nothing, nada, zip, zilch zero!!

Such a rare event, I'm planning a bit of me time, but i'm sure they'll be washing & cleaning & stuff creep in to fill the time.

Seza x

Ew. Oh dear. You know what. That's what yous get when you go stickin' yer finger where it won't fit.

So. Nurse Gladys to the rerr-rerr-rescue, Granville.

Hand in a bag of peas,frozen, natch, (chiz) plenty castor oil, plenty vodka, one a them tent strap thingys to lash victim to gatepost, one large carrot and the milkman's horse. And don't look.

Never fails. Many's the time I've employed this method the morning after the night before when am chained to the Spire on O'Connell Street, or when me Spanx long-leg knickers have ricocheted right round me mazzard when I've tried to get 'em off over me head.

Oh yes. Plenty Germolene. And more vodka.

Anything else I can help you with before I get started on the GD and the rhino enclosure at Chester zoo?

Clodagh.xx

And by the way.

If they end up choppin' the finger off, make sure they use a small
hacksaw. Looks like a nice ring, that.

Clodagh.xx

Oh Clodagh, remind me not to call on you in an emergency!! I'd probably end up laughing so much the house'd burn down or summat!

Good luck with the Rhinos, although they probably don't stand a chance!! LOL

JG x

Hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I am here on wiffy at last! Still darn essex

Tinsel - so sorry to hear about your dear dog - anyone on here who has gone through that will be feeling your pain including me. I was devastated about losing a dog (my first) within his first year.

Is with B but not Basildon, is Braintree, about 8 miles up road from you.

Looks like wiffy is working ok? How's the room service this week?

Seza x

Debs - well done - thats the perfect three for three!

Tins - sorry to hear about your dog - hugs to you

Was just talking to family about Norwich Blog meet when 10yr old boy1 said "is that allowed?"

We asked him what he meant & he said he didn't think it was a good idea to meet people you had talked to on the internet cos they might not be who they say they are. It might not be safe!

Well, that's one lesson that's stuck but now I'm wondering..................has he got a point? lol

Seza x

hello lovely laydees and bondy - JG - out of faulty towers, now in a much nicer licckle hotel - just had rack of lamb to die for and no washing up! RESULT!!

Seza - yoos me and deevs should have a mini midweek meet one week! Room service fabbaroony - worried going to be an elephant by xmas!!!!! (me not the food!)

Baggy - we got there in the end - you, bondy and me - deff because of support and vibes from blog - and our super human skills too! that right Bond?

Oh sooo happy happy debski

Seza - I took Mr bp with me the first few times - in fact the only time I went on my own was when I met Rips - and then I had to text him indoors to say I'm okay!

Safety first

Super bp x
PS - I really am a saggy old cloth cat!

Seza - re #61 - we have all felt that to some degree and good on the boy for knowing it!

However I have dived pretty much head on into this - first post after lots of lurking for 2 years was in March - first meet May - loved it - it feels like you are meeting people you have known in some respects for ages but also exciting to find out more about them in person.

I cannont say on this site how welcomed and supported I have been from people on here - but boy - have this 'team' got me through the most challenging 2 months of my life!

Dive in girl!!!!!

Love ya all and you know who you are

I'm sure I would be in no danger meeting you lot, that is what we drum into the kids. They play so many games where they "meet" freinds & when I ask him who they are, he hasn't got a clue.

It was just the way he said it.

I'm thinking about coming but need to check the piggy bank & see if I have a weekend pass to see if I can come

Seza x

I'm being made to suffer two footie matches in a row! grrr

And I have a sulky dog, cos he's been made to come inside as he has his barking head on tonight!

At least the sky's clearing so I might get to see some meteors tonght.

"meet" Friends even

Evening each

Chris, that ring thing looks sore! I don't wear rings any more precisely because of that. I panic when I can't get them off so now go for stretchy ones.

Tins, so sorry about your lovely dog.

Bingo, you've stopped taking the pills again, haven't you??

Just off to thrash everyone on Wordscraper, back later.

xxxx

Evening each.

Just had a quick zip through. Tinsel sweetie - big hugs - better still get your man to give you big hugs. That will be so much better.

Bingo - priceless as usual. Do you really want to sit at the front of a tilty train with hand on dead mans lever for mile after mile of straight (ish) track? Not quite the same as the old steam train stuff is it?

The ice/butter/arm over your head? Managed to get engagement ring off so I know it works - but jeweller cut wedding ring off YAY !!! noose free for weeks I was!- What an eejit though - why didn't I think of firemen! Duh.

Debs - when you said good news - just Knew - foot in the door as I said last night!!! Just needed to show em what you were made of!! Result!!!

Seza - that's really cute - your message to young un has obviously got across!!! We are of course all latent axe murderers just waiting to happen! Tee hee !!Your biggest danger in meets is being hugged to death!!!! Check my pics on fb !!!

Go with the rhinos Clodagh!

Nite Seza, have left mutt in the garden for a minute...hopefully he'll be quiet!

Anyway, I'm off to bed too

Night all!

Nite JG - dog flat out so may be sky watching much much later. Twas clearing earlier so fingers crossed.

Went to bolt hole for the eclipse - how long ago was that!!! Really really spooky - so cold - no birds - almost dark. Totally off any subject but just sprang to my mind! Wonder where everyone else was?

Beez xxx

Hazel honey - do you really have to go to work? You shouldn't be there you know! And pain killers - scream for more if you need them but don't take when not needed. Big - gentle hugs xx

evening anyone still awake!
Yes, I know I'm not normally on here at this time of night but I just had to drop in to say that Walking with Dinosaurs is the most fantastic thing I have ever seen. You believe the dinos are real, honestly it was amazing.

If you get the chance to go and see it, do. It will blow your mind.

Pics on FB tomorrow, if Adam has time.

Nos da, Crumpy xx

Not me really!

Hi all

I know it's a late and infrequent blog from me but I just needed to touch base and feel someone is there. As some of you know I live in France and am away from my two I know "young men" but I still love them and miss them terribly and I get very lonely sometimes and need support. I lurk alot but don't contribute much, but that doesn't mean i don't enjoy all of the banter and high spirits. I'm usually a very up beat and humurous person but at the moment that's not happening.

I'm sorry for putting a dampener on the blog but I just needed to explain myself.

Much love

MaW X
