Frozen Pipes.Need a temporary fix?

I just got home and found I had no water. After checking the basement, I found the large copper pipe coming from the water meter had a large bulge in it about 6 feet from the meter. I heated it with a hair dryer and it started gushing water. I immediately shut the main valve off. I called two plumbing companies, but none can get here until Monday. I‘m pretty handy and tried duct tape, but it still leaks a lot. The local hardware store is also closed. Any idea‘s until the plumbers get here? I would really like to use the toilet and take a shower. Thank You. The pipe is about the same diameter as a quarter.
