If you got all that crap in there mate it probably means you're getting water mixing with the oil... which means your head gaskey is going to be very shagged very soon.
Any white smoke (steam) pluming out the back of yer car yet?

if the gasket is on its way out all the oil changes in the world wont help.
be better of getting it sorted properly.
I left it on my merit a couple of weeks ago and it ended up sucking it dry and it was overheating like mad as i came down the motorway from work... had to fill water up at a garage and leave it an hour to cool down before driving home carefully.

Well the baileys in the oil is either someone pouring a lovely spirit drink in their or the head gasket on its way out.
Dunno how much it'd cost ya to fix coz last time mine went a mate did me a service and head gasket for ?40...
The gasket set and bolts should cost about 30 quid i think.
But if you dont know what you're doing i wouldn't try it.
Phone a couple of garages and ask how much it'll cost ya, thats your best bet, unless you know someone on here who lives local who could do it ya for the price of the parts plus a couple of pints.

Oil mixed with water eventually emulsifies to form what you have found. Wisewood is right. Water is likley seeping thru a damaged bit sumwhere in the gasket and into 1 of the oil galleries.
If you don't know this or what it means, go to a garage soon and find out 4 sure. Emulsified oil won't protect your bearings etc properly
