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.

Stains. They look like poo.

Anyway, I'm being accussed of making this up it seems (what "this" is, I don't actually know) so I will leave it there. Unless anyone knows some nice (very, very cheap!) bedding sources.
Have a good evening everyone!

Still waiting to find out what TSS is 🤦‍♀️

GizaBiza · 23/01/2023 17:14

So it’s hair dye on your pillow, right?

Thank you OP.

Now I want to see the picture of your cat.

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

Thank you @Sparkletastic 😊
Not so sure why it was so hard for OP to say TSS is hair dye 🙄

TheShellBeach · 23/01/2023 17:22

WTF is this thread about and why isn't there a picture of OP's cat?
I feel shortchanged.

There was briefly a picture of a cat (which was actually meant to be a picture of a stained pillow). As for what else is happening, after about two days, and thanks to a poster on this thread rather than the OP we have managed to establish that the TSS in question is some kind of hair dye which needs to be applied in stages, for some reason OP only applied one stage, but to her neck(one of the many inexplicable aspects of this thread), and it has come off on her pillow. The application of this hair dye is in some way related to a charity event which she couldn't tell us about because it would be outing. At least I think that's where we're up to now.

SummerHouse · 23/01/2023 18:16

Excellent summary above - I would only add that the application to the "neck" was initially autocorrected to "nectarine" adding to the general confusion.

BadNomad · 23/01/2023 16:47

You jumped the shark.

If you're referring to the horny for desks schoolboy that was actually a poster who should have started their own thread. Totally separate to the TSS nectarine.

BrownCowHowNow · 23/01/2023 19:40

I don't know what TSS is either but I suspect inhalation causes mental incapacity.

ShaunaTheSheep · 23/01/2023 19:45

Ouch Wink

PelvicFloorClenchReminder · 23/01/2023 19:47

The cat was clearly scared off by the squirrels.

Notaflippinclue · 23/01/2023 20:20

Bed bug poo?

evtheria · 23/01/2023 22:45

I thought I'd come back to this after a few days - all would have been cleared up, I'd find out what TSS stood for, but no...

BruceAndNosh · 23/01/2023 22:53

Is this thread available with subtitles for the hard of understanding?

GimmeBiscuits · 23/01/2023 23:09

From what I understand:

OP used some hairdye called TSS something but put a bit on her neck (patch test rather than strand test).
She was going to be colouring her hair because she was going to be going to a hush hush outing charity event.
She forgot she'd put the hair dye on her neck and woke up to funny marks on her pillow.
For some reason she cannot clean the pillow (not clear whether the dye is on the pillow itself or on the pillow case)

Whether any T-rexing in ASDA is scheduled, or wasps, I don't know.

Milany · 23/01/2023 16:35

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.

Great summary thank you 😂😂😂

You and all the rest of us!

007DoubleOSeven · 23/01/2023 23:50

Why so grouchy, op?

You've kept us entertainingly mystified for several days!

rainbowstardrops · 24/01/2023 05:46

I wanted to see the cat! 😫

TheEponymousGrub · 24/01/2023 09:57

Do you think she deliberately refused to say what TSS was, just to annoy? It annoyed me. Thank heaven for Sparkletastic.

TheShellBeach · 24/01/2023 13:07

Jesus.
Are we still none the wiser?
OP has done a number on us and no mistake.

Jenasaurus · 28/01/2023 05:53

@Sparkletastic I thought the same as you but it cant be black hair dye though as in the op she says "It's not hair dye as my hair is pink."
