Serious News - Gas Leak

The gas pipe to our house leaked and water got in and I'm now on day 3 with no heating or hot water. Any ideas on how to wash my hair?!

unlucky stone. have you got electric? if so you could heat up a couple of kettles ...

i heard once if you don't wash you hair for ages after sometime it'll smell like a sheep, but after that it goes really nice and you'll never wanna wash it again ... i don't know if thats true

best of luck getting your heating and hot water fixed

We've got electric and the gas men have just delivered a hot plate and a fan heater so I'm going to heat some water for a bath now.

A sheep?! I don't want to smell like a sheep!

have you got a local swimming pool? Just go in for a shower - I used to do that all the time

the sheep smell doesn't last

its just a stage your hair will go through before it ends up really nice, something to do with oils in the hair

good to hear somethings sorted anyway

Glad things are sorted that is always rough! Had a similar thing happen when I was in college.

As for the hair stuff luke, that's really a "mythunderstanding". I asked a doctor about that and it was explained that it means you don't have to watch your hairs with man made shampoos. You actually still need to wash it out with water. The doc made a good point as well, "If we didn't need to wash it to keep it clean then cavemen and settlers would have had better hair"

Ha ha. Do you think that cave women sat in their caves and thought that everyone else's hair still looked better than theirs?
