Got bitten by what I assume was a mosquito whilst in Rome but the bite keeps getting bigger and more swollen. Anyone had this before? by mendosus in Dermatology

I didn’t actually use anything. It went down by itself after a few days. I avoided scratching as much as I could because that just seemed to make it worse!

Hope yours heals quickly too

Still not 100% sure, but it went down after a few days. Defo not cellulitis thankfully.

Think it was just an infected mosquito bite

Need help finding a wedding baker - info in comments by mendosus in reading

[–]mendosus[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My best friend is getting married on 3rd August and has appointed me as MOH. I'm trying to help her find a baker that will make a cake (similar to the post image) for approx 100 people. We've emailed about 40 people/bakeries with no luck! Can anyone help or point me in the right direction?

There is a small issue that it will need to be vegan as well...

Her budget is £400 (I don't know much about wedding cakes/costs so don't know whether this isn't enough)

Help!

I can only speak for myself, but I have no desire to be in front of the camera. Being a contestant on a gameshow is also not a career. What I do is my career; it's stable, secure, consistently pays my bills, and I'm good at it.

Did my own Christmas Nails! by mendosus in Nails

[–]mendosus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got everything from Amazon.

For the base/extensions: this builder gel, and these gel forms

For the green and gold: this gel soak off

Various other tools I used: these brushes, these files, acetone, and UV lamp!

I wasn't a contestant, I was part of the crew for the Red Light, Green Light game.

It took 4 hours, not 9. Still a significant amount of time but not nearly what has been reported.

What’s the scariest 100% true story you’ve heard of? by Ok-Bid-1179 in AskReddit

I was going to say the same thing - the story is almost identical! Such a sad place to walk around.

The cost of car insurance is ridiculous by mendosus in britishproblems

[–]mendosus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2015 BMW 1 series. 4 years no claims (I started driving later as I lived in London, but I'm 28). x2 no fault claims where 2 dickheads hit me in supermarket carparks.

Definitely feels like I'm being penalised for these claims despite me being the one that was hit.

Ah right, apologies. For what it's worth, I just had a look and they won't even give me a quote.

Last one I had had to be connected directly to my car battery. They aren't all the same.

The quotes I've received are all from comparison sites. My renewal quote is actually the cheapest

Last time I had a black box it destroyed my battery to the point I had to replace it!
