I need your help with sneaky DH

Took rings off last night left on side of the kitchen sink.
Came down from work and engagement ring has disappeared....mild panic.

Sneaky DH has hidden the ring. I've feigned disinterest but the stakes are high - we now have a game and I have all morning to find it.

All I've been told is it's somewhere in the kitchen. I've had most of the cupboards out and looked in all the glasses etc.

We have young DC so it's nowhere they would be able to find it.

All very petty and I was on the verge of texting for a clue....

I just can't get over his smug face coming and showing me where it was. It will be somewhere obvious I know it.

AIBU to ask for any suggestions? Please help - I need a win today

And you sound miserable as fuck.

Not necessarily. I just like to think my sense of humour is above playground level

Ahhhhhbisto · 06/07/2023 10:19

In with the cereal Wink

Is it in a shoebox where he keeps his tickling stick, Chinese finger puzzle, whoopee cushion and kiss me quick police man's hat and other assortment of 'hilarious' joke items?

@DiscontinuedModelHusband she assured us if it had been put there it would long have fallen off by now 😂

Ahhhhhbisto · 06/07/2023 10:19

Or on the end of a wooden spoon?

No, you definately sound miserable as fuck.
Just like you think from one or two posts that the DH sounds rediculous, you sound like a misery from your posts.
Funny how that works.

SniggleSnarf · 06/07/2023 10:20

It's okay engagement ring is not something I'd class as sentimental.

Definitely said kitchen and said willy not here! I hope 😁

Inside a jar of spices/herbs?

gemstoneju · 06/07/2023 10:21

If your appliances are in a separate utility room, are you sure he doesn't see this as part of the kitchen too?

IcakethereforeIam · 06/07/2023 10:21

Can you pop to the airport and put the dog through a metal detector?

Don’t forget the plastic poo.

Mumsnut · 06/07/2023 10:22

Pocket of apron? Rolled up inside ‘spring’ blind

in dishwasher cutlery tray?

FoxtrotOscarFoxtrotOscar · 06/07/2023 10:23

@Cakeandcoffee93 if he's like 99% of the men mentioned on here, he won't know where the dishwasher is or what it even looks like.

Doteycat · 06/07/2023 10:23

I think you are going to just have to go out and buy a new one and pretend you found it. Its the only solution.
Stop by the SHL on the way home too sure while you at it, How you can tolerate having a laugh with your husband is beyond me.

😄
It really would serve this annoying man right if he had to follow the dog for three days and root through the poo bags.

SniggleSnarf · 06/07/2023 10:23

Nope no seperate utility.

Haven't got my car, hence me being stuck in the house bored. I'll just wait for his next trip in the garden and check manually.

No don't have dishwasher or apron. Not in the blind/window/door.

This thread is just showing how badly equipped my kitchen is.

Oh god you all sound like miserable bastards. It’s a bit of fun and a joke with her husband.

dawngreen · 06/07/2023 10:24

Top of cupboards some where you cannot reach maybe? I would hide his car keys or pc lead. I would get bored with that quickly.

Spreadbed · 06/07/2023 10:25

Good grief!! Can’t believe all the superior ‘my sense of humour is better/more mature/funnier than this, my life is so interesting and busy that I don’t have time for such nonsense” - this is clearly a joke they play between themselves, OP had admitted she takes his, her tone has been lighthearted from the beginning - let other people live their lives! So much nastiness and judgement. Bet you’re all a bunch of miseries.

SniggleSnarf · 06/07/2023 10:26

I might be wrong but not his style for top of cupboards or in food items. But then that doesn't leave much else.

It’s childish drivel. Why the need to tell random strangers? Get a life

Why the need to comment then? Just scroll past surely, if it's not your cup of tea 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thunderpunt · 06/07/2023 10:27

Have you got lights under kitchen cupboards. Maybe he's slipped it over the lead/wire to those?

getafringenotbotox · 06/07/2023 10:27

In the peas? In the freezer?

getafringenotbotox · 06/07/2023 10:27

In the oven?

SmirnoffIceIsNice · 06/07/2023 10:27

Sorry can't be arsed to read through 11 pages of suggestions but could it be taped to the underneath of a drawer, or the back of a notice board or clock?
