Oh God! Have just had bleeding massacre on the scale of 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' or similar. Was shaving legs after seeing how yeti-like they were (Sports Day and looking like Yeti, not good) when razor slipped and nicked myself on Achilles heel. Stung like a bitch but didn't think anything of it. After wandering around room (naked, obviously) realised, with horror, that there was trail of blood around room and looked down to see little cut was gushing blood as if had amputated arm. Bastard! No wonder it is called an Achilles heel, obviously whole blood supply comes from there, such copious amounts of blood I was weeping.

Managed to clear it up thanks to a bit o' elbow work and detergent but still, stings like a bitch and cannot walk properly as cannot bend heel. ARG! Cannot believe after running...ok jogging...ok walking 100m got worst injury in quest to look good rather than do sport. Now that is twisted.
