I've also had blood matted in my hair after a head injury. Honestly? I left it there till the pain had subsided enough for me to be able to brush it which got some out and I washed it very gently and then properly after a couple of weeks. Just wore it tied back so didn't care if it was greasy (also had shoulder injury too as was from car accident so was hard to lift one arm). Sending big gentle hugs xxEmergency Fund goal - £1000/2000
Mortgage OP goal 2026 - £1200/£4500

You have lots of good advice there Beanie. I have nothing to add there, but I haven't been on for a few days and pleased you are both back home. Sending a hug.If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

You're not missing much, it's cold and soggy and I swear it's somehow getting darker in the mornings and afternoons.
