To ask what is all over my pillow?

I can't figure out how to upload photos. 😕

My pillow was unmarked when I went to bed. This morning I woke up and they have brown marks but I don't know what they are. It was still under my head. It's happened a few times.

They look a bit like when you spill hot chocolate on your top, don't realise for a while and smear it around when you're trying to wipe it. That happens to me a lot!

They don't smell.
It's not food or drink as I don't eat in bed.
It's not hair dye as my hair is pink.
It's not make up. It's the wrong colour and I washed my face before bed.
It's not fake tan because I don't use it.
I didn't have a nose bleed or anything like that.
It's not dribble 😆 because it's definitely brown.

It's definately ON the pillowcase as opposed to something coming from the pillow iyswim.

I don't wake up with anything on my hair or face.

I am perplexed and a bit concerned.

mh nectarine = my neck

That's as far as I've got.

WaffleIron · 20/01/2023 17:57

Sure it's TSS and not your brain oozing out? It's hard to tell based on the update.

legalseagull · 20/01/2023 17:59

Toxic shock syndrome. What were you doing with that nectarine woman?!

BliainNua · 20/01/2023 18:00

I was nodding along to the ear wax suggestions then got to OP's most recent post and my head 🤯 No idea what's going on now! 🍊🍊? Just here for the update!

BadNomad · 20/01/2023 18:00

I wonder if the charity thing involves T-rexing in ASDA.

eatdrinkandbemerry · 20/01/2023 18:00

I bet your nectarine is looking very nice though 😉

Milany · 20/01/2023 18:10

Apologies, nectarine is neck.

The TSS is for a charity thing (darling) but I'm not sure I'm allowed to mention the charity by name. It's not outing as such but my job means I'm not meant to give any details out about myself so just to be careful. I'm not very interesting and very average so the lijelyhood of being identified or anyone caring is zilch really. But the walls have ears and all that.

They are trying to get press interested which was why I wanted to try it first.

But what is TSS ?

BliainNua · 20/01/2023 18:17

TSS is for a charity thing (darling) but I'm not sure I'm allowed to mention the charity

I still have no idea what TSS is. Could you please enlighten us darling @Milany 😊

unfortunateevents · 20/01/2023 18:17

Well that's cleared everything up - not.

NoSquirrels · 20/01/2023 18:18

What is TSS?

subtoprem · 20/01/2023 18:19

Is it some kind of tanning system?

ShirleyPhallus · 20/01/2023 18:19

This short thread has a lot going on

WhoNeedsSleepNotISaidMyBody · 20/01/2023 18:21

I have to do a late pick up for teen or I'd have a few drinks to see if that helps.

shame there's no nectarines, I do love a nice nectarine.

MeowMeowBeenz · 20/01/2023 18:23

Hahaha what

BadNomad · 20/01/2023 18:25

TSS - Top Secret Something 🤔

HouseOfRunners · 20/01/2023 18:25

Tension Suppression System??

evtheria · 20/01/2023 18:27

Tanning...Skin Serum? But that doesn't explain the nectarine...

Oh, that was a classic. He knows he is not allowed to T-Rex while shopping😄😄

BliainNua · 20/01/2023 18:35

Come on mumsnet! You can identify 40 Yr old books with less clues then this (I think there was a blue blanket and a ghost in a castle...🤪)

TSS Clues so far.... it happens at night time... there two steps involved... if you don't do step 2 you'll leak (?) brown liquid onto your pillow.... it may or not require a charity.... no nectarines but definitely a neck .... possibly related to AbFab??? (Or is that stretch too far darling? 🤔 😜)

God. I'm so stupid. I've figured out what it is and I'm stupid for doing it in the first place and stupid for forgetting I'd done it at all.

I'm doing a charity thing next week and as part of it I have to use TSS. So I thought I'd see what ig was like so I put it on mh nectarine. I got distracted and didn't use stage 2 and went to ge bed with it on. Bizarrely I have no stains on me today. So moral if the story - use both stages of TSS or it doesn't work and don't sleep on a white pillow! It smells nice though.

Please decide this properly for us OP

pocketvenuss · 20/01/2023 18:39

Witchcraftandhokum · 20/01/2023 18:40

Do you by chance use The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension?

rainbowstardrops · 20/01/2023 18:43

@Milany the deleted post was most bizarre and went on about children in her child's class, basically wanking against their desks! 🤣🙈🤣
Most odd!!!

Your post however, has somewhat moved on from then!

LadyEloise1 · 20/01/2023 18:44

@Milany
Your explanation was as clear as mud. Please come back and translate for the many of us whose minds have been totally boggled.
What do you think were the brown marks ?
