I need your help with sneaky DH

SniggleSnarf · 06/07/2023 08:57

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

Behind the smoke alarm?
Tucked under the cap or lid of something like bleach or calpol that has a child proof lid?
Hooked onto the back door key? Or any key?

Appreciate that you both think it’s hilarious, but living like this would drive me crazy.

Can’t imagine having hours to devote to this sort of caper.

There we are. Not just me is it.

What I forgot to mention is we are both avid erm metal detector-ers. So really this is just a nice way of him giving me some practice.

U need to txt back and say the mumsnet fun police says i have to stop cos its childish and they are far superior so i must bow to their judgement and leave you.

Tidsleytiddy · 06/07/2023 10:51

Well I’m certainly superior to this rubbish

Beeinalily · 06/07/2023 10:51

Wow, what a lot of misery hoggery today! My guess is it's under the kitchen sink plug if it's not in. Iyswim.

This is ridiculous.

Hide and seek is for fun.

You're not finding it fun, so tell him to fuck off, and if needed end the relationship.

End the relationship? Really?

Fucking hell, there's some massive sticks rammed up some arses this morning. All those commenting it's childish, abusive, puerile - why did you both posting after you'd read the OP? If it bothers you that much just don't comment

EmiliaRuusuvuori · 06/07/2023 10:52

Is it behind a carbon monoxide detector ?

Doteycat · 06/07/2023 10:52

Its funny that you think so.

3AndStopping · 06/07/2023 10:52

In the washing machine pods, has child safety lock? Honestly I came on to say how childish this was but I’m now invested so what does that say about me 😆

FallopianTubeTrain · 06/07/2023 09:15

I think it's just a bit of silly fun as well. There's a lot of sourpusses out this morning. Mumsnet needs a coffee ☕️

I think it's the smugness of the 'd' H which is pissing some of us off....

Tidsleytiddy · 06/07/2023 10:52

Because I’m fascinated at what people find amusing and this isn’t.

Blinkblank · 06/07/2023 10:52

Tidsleytiddy · 06/07/2023 10:44

I’m entitled to not think it’s remotely funny

Of course you are, but you still sound a joyless miserable fecker and still insisting that you spread your misery makes it worse. I bet you are a bundle of laughs at a party.

OP, in the biscuit tin?

On the neck of a bottle of wine in the fridge or wine rack?

In the egg holder thingy?

TiredManDad · 06/07/2023 10:53

if its a fun thing you both do then what's the harm in it?

If he's doing it when he knows you hate it and it's a sign of a more controlling edge then that's obviously awful but that isn't the case here.

I don't get why internet forums need to be so polemic. They're having fun, either try to help the OP in her quest to get one over her OH or just ignore it. It's not hard.

Oh and have you tried looking in all your nags/coat pockets? It wont be put anywhere you are likely to throw it away or even eat it!!

Why is it being smug to use DH? A lot of people on here use that acronym

Tidsleytiddy · 06/07/2023 10:54

You don’t know me but you carry on abetting the OP in this stupidity. Some people’s lives eh

howdoipullmyselftogether · 06/07/2023 10:54

Fire extinguisher pin?

Safety blanket?

Burglar alarm control box?

First aid kit?

Medicine cabinet/cupboar/ice-cream tub?

3AndStopping · 06/07/2023 10:54

First aid/medicine box?

Robyn847 · 06/07/2023 10:54

Are the keys in the back door? And he's put the ring over the key that's in the lock?

First aid box? Threaded into a bandage in the first aid box?

On a little knife you might have? Slotted over the blade, between the handle and knife guard (I'm clutching at straws on your behalf!)

Yes its awful that some people like their DH isn’t it 🙄

SniggleSnarf · 06/07/2023 10:55

Carbon monoxide - no
Calpol was a great guess - no
Kitchen sink plug is one of those grate ones so no unless he wanted it washed away.

Yes it is a huge waste of time. I could be getting on with housework, twiddling my thumbs etc. Very boring to some people - but then my life is quite boring! I feel like a pig snuffling out a truffle.

Yet you’re spending your life on here moaning about it ……. Ironic

You must surely have much more important things to do?

howdoipullmyselftogether · 06/07/2023 10:55

Safety pins box?

willWillSmithsmith · 06/07/2023 10:55

Is your washing machine in there? Maybe taped to the drum? Washing up liquid? Dish sponge?

NoTeaNoShade · 06/07/2023 10:56

Inside a biscuit tin?
