Love Bites...

[nat_84]

Ok.....i personally hate the bloody things...and think they look vile!!!

Problem is.... i have one on my chin. Yes u heard me correctly... my chin.....

Me and my boyfriend were messing about yesterday... trying to suck each others bottom lip... i ended up grabbing his face and then sucking on his lip and he reacted by grabbing my face and sucking on my chin!!!!

I now look like ive got blackcurrent on my chin....i put ice on it but i think it enhanced the purple brusing...

Any ideas on how to make it bloody go?!?!

[stylinsam]

pmsl sorry babes i dont no the answer to ur question but youve made me smile lol x

[nat_84]

Glad i made u smile.... to know ur smiling makes me smile!!

And my smile looks that much better with the light glimmering on my purple chin!!!! :0)

[redcrx]

pmsl.

sorry, i cant help but made me laugh too x

[stylinsam]

haha! im sorry hun for laughing at you i cant help it but i no what u mena with the sucking lip thing Yeah i do that all the time! *ahem* love ya xx

[teag1rl]

lol, I stuck a sucker thing on the middle of my forehead once out of sheer boredom which left a huge love bite type thing, looked like a total plank for days and what was worse was explaining how i did it. Your reason sounds much more fun. I've no idea how to fix it. Would it be worth giving arnica a go?

[nat_84]

Im glad u find it funny girls - i had to go out last night looking like i had split snakebite on my chin and forgot to wipe it off!!!

[nat_84]

Arnica... who's she?

[loopyc]

can't you just tell people you had an accident with your hoover? ps, thank you for making me smile nat xxx

[teag1rl]

or toothpaste? sure that was the rumoured remedy when i was a (much younger!) girl

[nat_84]

i swear i took arnica for my knee cartlidge...

[jiggy-gb]

LOL! How very unfortunate! You could always try Witch Hazel, that helps with bruises. Failing that decide what looks worse, the hickey or a small plaster ;o)

[nat_84]

I am young - i'm only 21 - still have alot to learn :0(

....dont think i got a lovebite till i was about 17....

anyway, yeah the good ol' toothpaste remedy... does that actually work?! any idea why?

Sounds like a joke someone made up that people actually took to - it's like saying "oh ive got a really bad bruise on my face" - and someone just saying "oh ok, just rub mustard on it and it'll clear up".....bet whoever made it up is having a right old laugh!!!

[chazza]

A friend of mine was able to "stretch" one out of the neck of a work colleague - she pulled the skin sideways on either side of the mark, then pulled above and below it as well, kept repeating this until the mark disappeared!

I was amazed! Also apparently toothpaste helps!

[RATTER15]

Just plaster on loads of makeup, you'll be alright!!!

roflmao!!

[nat_84]

so u reckon i should just go for the nelly "gangsta" plaster style-ee.....?!

I'll look like a right n0b! People probably think i tried to shave myself.....

[mccfluff]

oh god Nat i'm wetting myself here, everyone thinks i've gone mad, balaclava that should sort it

[nat_84]

mccfluff... bala bloody cava!!!!

Dont want to be arrested on suspicion of being a terrorist!!!!

[gleaveyweave]

Cheered me up no end, this thread!!! My kids are saying "whats so funny mummy?" Poor you nat, wish I could help but only ever heard of toothpaste myself (don't think it actually works though!). The arnica gel is a great suggestion though, give that a try.
Ha ha, still lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nat_84]

ok so arnica gel....quality - will certainly invest.

OMG people....

I just went to the toilet and saw my chin in the mirror - its a disgrace! I put foundation on it this morning - but its all gone and i didnt bring any with me!!

Thankfully, only one other person in the office - just hope he doesnt try and talk to me for too long to notice.

Was thinking what the best excuse would be if he did ask - and all i could come up with was falling over on the stairs and hitting my chin....

[nat_84]

(i just took a picture of my chin on my camera... i might post it later when i get home... so u can see the agony im going through....)
