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.

Uh. That was mean to say
I can't afford new bedding ATM so will have to sleep with the pillow upside down.

Have your tried washing it?

Waaaaaaa! She still hasn't said what TSS means!

TheEponymousGrub · 23/01/2023 15:52

AND she has not figured out how to uplpad pictures.

BliainNua · 23/01/2023 15:54

Could you not, you know, turn the pillow case the other way around? Rather than sleeping on an "upside down pillow" (whatever that is?!!)

I did explain but never mind. They do say not to air your dirty washing in public. Of is it dirty linen?
Either way I guess it is a bit odd expecting rando strangers to care about my dirty bed and charity events. 🤣

No you didn't.

BertaHoon · 23/01/2023 15:56

Picked or scratched a spot in your sleep. Def not wax, you can tell that's wax.

If you had actually explained what TSS is, do you think everyone would still be asking?

BertaHoon · 23/01/2023 15:59

Should have rtft

You've been putting toxic shock syndrome on your neck and it's very outing.

Okay. Mystery solved 🤷

This is one instance where rtft would actually have left you more confused than before!

God dammit. That is a cat. It is not a pillow. I give up.

Anyway mystery solved On what was on my pillow.

Er what now? Have I landed on Mars? There seems to be a lot going on here and I don't understand any of it.

I wish there was a "translate" button for the OP's posts!

I am so glad I kept scrolling!

Early contender for most confusing thread of the year?!

I don't know what is confusing. 🤷
I had marks on my pillow. I worked out what they were. I accidently posted a picture of my cat.

The cat is unrelated to the pillow.

But you haven't bothered to tell anyone what it was. TSS. What is it. Nobody else knows.

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.

I have absolutely no idea what this post means 😯

SummerHouse · 23/01/2023 16:42

TSS is a hair dye that comes in two stages and isn't related to a cat or a nectarine - come on people...

I put the TSS on my neck. Itshouldn't have gone on my neck and I didn't use all the stages so I'm pretty sure that went on my pillow.

I don' know why that was linked with school boys perving on desks.

You jumped the shark.

Sparkletastic · 23/01/2023 16:47

Is this what the OP is talking about but seems unable to explain?
