Boring but ... Where to store a suitcase?!

Mine is a fabric one so has been squished into the loft. DH has a plastic one which doesn't fit through the loft hatch.

We don't have a garage, or a spare room. It doesn't fit in the airing cupboard or under the bed. He can't get rid of it.

I want it out of our bedroom! Any ideas?!

It used to be kept inside our huge wardrobe but we had to get a smaller wardrobe and it doesn't fit inside it or on top of it...

Why can't he get rid of it?

Would it fit under the bed if you stored it open rather than closed or does your bed base go to the floor?

Behind a sofa?

Ours are kept on top of a wardrobe (with smaller bags and travel accessories inside).

BirthdayKake · 26/01/2019 15:18

Bed base goes to the floor (it has drawers)

Just tried behind the sofa and it was a tiny bit too big damn it!

He won't get rid cos he's annoying but tbf we do need it for Butlins later this year Blush

I could put it in the shed I suppose. My air hostess friend just pointed out that aeroplane holds get much colder...

Maybe wrap it in bin bags if you're storing it in the shed?

Holidayshopping · 26/01/2019 15:24

I would sell it and buy something I could fit in the loft.

LillyBugg · 26/01/2019 15:36

I really think he needs to get rid and buy one that can be stored. It's not practical for the storage you have. It makes no sense!

Yes just pop it in a bin bag or two and put it in the shed

cptartapp · 26/01/2019 15:54

The boot of your car as a last resort.

BarbaraofSevillle · 26/01/2019 18:33

Can he keep it at a relative or friends house or even at work?

Angie169 · 27/01/2019 11:56

Take the stuff out of your beds draws and put stuff in the suitcase then put suite case in the space where stuff was.

Cover it with something and use it in a room as a kind of shelf or table

ShatnersBassoon · 27/01/2019 12:05

Definitely in the shed if you have one. Why wouldn't you?!

Greycat11 · 27/01/2019 12:07

If you have any floor length curtains behind one of them as a temporary measure. Behind the sofa if not right against wall maybe.

We stack the dcs' on top of their wardrobes.

Matrioska suitcase game here and the big one under the bed
