Just that really. It was one of those really large selections for DJ's 50th.

He hid it from the dc and now we can't find it anywhere.

AIBU to be upset about this (lighthearted)?

Under the bed?
On top of the fridge?
Under the sofa?
In a sideboard?
On a bookshelf?

RubyKitty · 05/10/2021 21:00

Behind the ironing board?

savagebaggagemaster · 05/10/2021 21:01

All of these places have been ransacked - no joy

@goldshade

Under the sofa cushions...that's where I found my dads after he'd died. Gotta laugh.
Shock

Do you have a cupboard either with things like put of season clothes, or rarely used kitchen stuff? Those are both places I might have stashed something I didn't want to eat right now...

We lost a tub of celebrations last Christmas, found them in February in DH's car that he swore down he'd checked in.

In his sock drawer
Cupboard under the stairs
Slid between two towels in the airing cupboard
Under the tree skirt in your wardrobe (that’s where I’m currently hiding a packet of pork scratchings and daim bars)

Freezer?

SarahBop · 05/10/2021 21:15

Under the bed? Bedside unit? In chest of drawers but under a few layers of clothing? On top of the fridge?

octoegg · 05/10/2021 21:18

Cupboard under the stairs is where I'd have put them. Or yeah, more likely eaten them and wiped the guilt from my memory...

MakingTheBestOfIt · 05/10/2021 21:18

They will be in the wardrobe, exactly where you thought you hid them. One day you will reach in and there they will be. It doesn’t matter if you empty the wardrobe completely in the meantime, you will not find them until they are ready to be found.

Surely it’s not just me who has this?

Hesma · 05/10/2021 21:18

Sounds like a result to me.. I hate HC overpriced and overrated!

HollowTalk · 05/10/2021 21:22

The size of the box should help you work out where it is.

justasking111 · 05/10/2021 21:25

On top of kitchen cupboard,

MintyGreenDream · 05/10/2021 21:26

@lilacdinosaur sounds like a good February!

Philandbill · 05/10/2021 21:27

No idea but I hope that you find them intact. I love Hotel Chocolat.

Lalliella · 05/10/2021 21:30

It was the spiders. They got them.

Cuddlyrottweiler · 05/10/2021 21:31

DH lost his very expensive sunglasses. Looked everywhere for weeks. I bought him some identical replacements for his birthday. Two weeks later he went to put them in the sunglasses compartment in the car but there were already a pair there 🙄 so look in the most obvious place is my suggestion.

Carrotca · 05/10/2021 21:32

Your kids have definitely found and eaten them then hidden/binned the evidence

StoatMilk · 05/10/2021 21:39

Of course you ‘lost’ them OP (down your gullet) 😉

I know exactly what you mean! Grin

For those of you who assumed I ate them... I really really didn't! (Honest!)

They were still in a long cardboard box. We had an excited moment when we thought we'd found them the other day - but it was just another of dh's many gadgety Amazon parcels...

BlackeyedSusan · 05/10/2021 22:01

nah, you didn't eat them...

...dh on the other hand...

On a bookshelf?
