The very top of my head still twinges when I change facial position.
I'm taking painkillers for my neck and shoulder - right now they're okay but they hurt like buggery when I was washing my hair earlier OWWWWWWWWWWWW! See how I get on tonight. My arm is fine, the bruise is green-y now but doesn't hurt unless I poke it. I'm not poking it.

He's got a point - he buys a perfectly good bath mat, and I "ruin" it.
Then he has to buy another one. Now I think pink improves a utilitarian white rubber mat. But he doesn't. Dad doesn't really go crazy. He just sulks and moans to Mum. Who gets annoyed and then moans at me. But only after it's been replaced.

Would a brief spray of diluted bleach after your shower clear it up before they have a chance to see it?

Oh I always clean the bath - a quick scrub with a scourer cleans the enamel.
But it does stain some products, and whatever the mat is made of is one of them. Still, Mum told me firmly she would rather buy a new bathmat than have me knock myself out, so I am allowed to use it now. I might buy a couple next payday and proffer them as an olive branch. Then again, I'm back to normal colours once school starts, and they don't permanently stain.

How much trouble is it to switch out the bathmat? Can you have "your" bathmat that you use for your showers and then replace their pristine bathmat when you are done?

Blame whoever used regular caulk instead of silicone...
Deflection to the one who isn't there to defend him/herself usually works well. :/

I did offer that actually, but then the problem went away in term time.
Anyway, it was only one fall in three years... Bruise pretty much all gone. Still a bit tender in the neck, but nowhere near the gasp-inducing pain I had before. Classic, if I criticised the way my Dad decorated the bathroom I might get anything from a polite invitation to do it next time, to a kick up the arse to help me on my way out the door

Here's last month's bruise. I think it was my first time shooting skeet. Still working out my hold position.
