It all started yesterday when I went shopping, I saw those mandolin slicers you know the ones that can slice the top of your fingers off. Well I bought one, so excited with my new purchase came home showed Greg and set out to cook dinner, well I thought to myself we will have a salad so I can use my new toy. MY new toy more like a slicer from *** :fear I only got to slice a few things and my fingers were hanging over a bit well that was too much because next thing I know the top of one finger is sitting in my salad, lucky it was my plate and not Greg's YUK , and I sliced the next finger also. OUCH I screamed out to Greg HELP I have chopped my fingers :fear OFF he came running in, well he was jumping up and down :bliss: trying to work out how to stop the bleeding and I was trying to be so brave but all that blood I almost fainted , but I felt like a dill buying this rotten thing :thumbs_down: and using it the very first time and slicing the tops of my fingers off. Anyway after several bandages and tape all is well going to the doctors later for a tetanus needle ouch. Have to say it really hurts too plus I am right handed and it's my right hand and I will miss out on a days pay tomorrow. Well I have learnt a good lesson. Link to comment

This holder is round and not very high and the spikes aren't very long so it jumps off what you are cutting, (think I am trying to convince myself it wasn't my fault) What does your old one look like MB Link to comment

I'll bring it along and if you decide you want it you are welcome to it. I used it for chopping the birds vegies as well much quicker :thumbs_down: Link to comment

But it was fun until my fingers became dinner too :thumbs_down: The only thing that is annoying now besides the pain is I only get 1 day a week work and i do house cleaning at a resort in Numurkah and I have only being there for 4 weeks and I won't be able to do it tomorrow and it is a really hard shop. Mostly using my right hand and heaps of chemicals. So I will miss out on a days pay. I am having enough trouble today trying to type and house clean here can't even make the bed it hurts too much and tomorrow I have to make at least 2 queen size beds and 4 single beds plus everything else. Stupid slicer. Edited January 7, 2009 by splat Link to comment

LOL I can be real bloodthirsty sometimes! :thumbs_down: Just think of your babies when you get the needle to try keep your mind off it. Thanks for the link. I've got one of those. It was called a V-Slicer when I got it - it is the same thing though. Edited January 7, 2009 by Boris' Slave Link to comment

It depends how big the bit is whether they'll bother to put it back on. Link to comment

You can even get a liquid type band-aid from the supermarket. My mum cut the top side of her finger off while cutting an apple, it was her pointer on her right hand and hurt like *** because she always bumped it when doing things. It healed up and barely left a scar. Fingers are very good at healing. i have slicked my fingers too and you cant even see a distortion to my fingerprint! :sad: Edited January 8, 2009 by **Liv** hehe "i said "hell" and didnt get *** haha Admin can SWARE hahaha Link to comment
