You'll never guess what I just found

At the back of a cupboard in our spare room that DH uses for his hobby. Would anyone like to guess what it is?

I'm not quite sure what to do now.

Was this just a I'm gonna wind u all up. Post think so lol🤔🤣🤣

Well, to be fair I did say I started it to distract myself from constantly refreshing the MN Traitors thread. I'd dragged myself away from it and gone upstairs to do some tidying, and opened the spare room cupboard door. You know the rest.

And, well - chocolate. Pretty good thing to find really, especially when you consider some of the other things people thought I might have found.
😁👺👽🏇☠

More Warhammer models after he swore he wouldn't buy any more until he painted what he had?

This is every cupboard in our house that isn't stuffed full of fabric that I'm definitely not buying any more of until I've used up my stash

Please let it be the ironing board from a couple of years ago

Omg I think about this often! Did it ever turn up?!

That's not a dilemma

you eat the chocolate coins & give the TD to someone you hate. Simples.

Proper Turkish delight is amazing though!
I always thought I didn't like it until I tried some more authentic type from an Asian/ethnic supermarket (sorry, don't know the correct term!) we go to and it was amaaaazing

Yes proper Turkish Delight is lovely and comes in different flavours

A couple of years ago I made TD vodka at Christmas

Disappointing though that there was no sign of Shergar......not even My Little Pony.

Well I learnt never to snoop since I found something terrifying in ex DH’s wardrobe. I was that shocked i nearly shat myself and I could’ve had a heart attack if my ticker was dodgy. I could string this along, but no point, I will just tell you.
exDH had hidden at the back to his wardrobe a ventriloquists dummy. WTF?! There it was with its sinister face staring at me, it was terrifying.
He claimed he bought it as a prop for his office, changed his mind and forgot to return it.

VictoriaFeckham · 24/01/2026 01:35

@MrMischief , was he your exDH at the time or was that the last straw?

I was just about to go to bed but I'm laughing too much, and I'm scared I'll have nightmares.

I bought two tubes of Pringles for Christmas. For that time post dinner and pre Turkey sandwiches to have with a few glasses of fizz. They are SOO unhealthy so I never get them. But they’re my guilty pleasure. Anyway, they’re nowhere to be found. One of these days I WILL find them, and I WILL eat them (in my best Liam Neeson accent). I had a rooot around last week, no joy. I mean, I could just buy more, but it’s not the point.

WhyAreWeLikeThis · 24/01/2026 02:21

I got stuck in a cupboard once on holiday. It was sooooo dark. I knew I had to feel my way to the end of the room, turn left and keep walking until I got to the door. Accidentally left the door open in a huge built in wardrobe cupboard thing and got stuck at the far end. I’d been in a really deep sleep, woken for the loo was so confused

Someone else has had them.

They absolutely haven’t. No one else likes them. I have young DC who categorically wouldn’t. And my husband saw the documentary on how they were made and refuses to eat them.
it’s a mystery.

Oh that's horrific. I've always been terrified of those things ever since I watched that film with Anthony Hopkins in it called Magic.

It was almost the last straw! Finding that ventriloquists dummy staring back at me is the stuff of horror movies!

VictoriaFeckham · 24/01/2026 15:35

I did dream but about a good-looking colleague who was flirting with me. I realised that I couldn't accept his invitation to have dinner with him and woke up.
(Said colleague and workplace are not real).

Morepositivemum · 24/01/2026 15:37

I was sure it was an Easter egg! I know someone who purposely still had most of her s a year later. My mind was boggled!!!

VictoriaFeckham · 24/01/2026 15:44

I found a bag of Roses, some biscuits and some Aldi chocolates in a tub that I thought had spices in. I'm guessing that they are at least 10 years old.
The tub is one for chocolates, you know the reusable ones.
Well, the tub is marked 975g! The current tubs are about half the height and wouldn't be big enough for a few poppadoms.

VictoriaFeckham · 24/01/2026 16:48

The Roses were best before 09 01 2016! Should I bin them? They've not been opened.
