I need your help with sneaky DH

[SniggleSnarf]

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

Washing capsule box?

inside a shoe, slipper, glove?

Oh dear…….how do they feel wing married to a misery?

*being

Is there a cycle hemet or similar in there?

Do you have a folder where you keep instruction leaflets/safety certificates for stuff?

Although with that clue i'm thinking it has to be on some sort of keyring, or a lock of some sort. Window keys for window lock?

childs buggy, highchair or reins or anything?

All I've got from this thread is that he makes pastry and has his own sewing box. Oh and your stopcock is in your lounge?? Anyway as you were. I'm finding this a sweet post with a lot of humour from the OP. Those who have hidden cars though!!!!! That's not remotely funny. I would have such a massive anxiety attack if DH did that to me.

Biscuit tin
bread bin
washing machine
teapot
between cereal bowls/saucepans
butter dish
In the fairy liquid bottle

Can't believe you are allowing this to take up part of your day.

I'd shrug my shoulders and ignore the "game". I have far better things to do.

if it was me i'd be afraid of anything like around sink, bins, just in a cupboard etc. in case it got lost i'd probably do something daft like sticking it in the butter dish, as tea coffee caddy's and mugs checked, is there anything you use the kids wouldn't like peanut butter, something maybe in fridge

Like post miserable threads on MN? Far more important, you must be a really important person.

This is actually just wasting your day. He's using up your time..

Microwave, grill, oven, toaster
Utensil jar
Cutlery drawer
Veg. rack/fruit bowl

Hate to be that person but I think you need another clue…. 🕵️‍♂️

Oh no, come on between us we must be able to solve!

It’s a game, babes. One that they are playing together and that OP could stop playing at any time if she wanted to. 🙄

Ya, you could be out making digs at other people about what they find fun and being all judgy about other peoples idea of it. Much better use of your time.

God there are some miserable fuckers about.

Take no notice op, a bit of silliness is good for the soul.

Oven gloves!

I believe the OP is a fully functioning adult woman and she can use her time as she’s sees fit, he is not taking up her time, it’s her choice.

But let’s presume that the DH is somehow being unkind and the OP can’t stop the game if she wants.

I mean we don’t want to be seeing a husband and wife having a bit of light hearted banter, do we?

Much better to assume something sinister?

Sounds fun.
I love a bit of daftness.

Adult life is dull as fuck. Having playful moments makes so much difference. It brings you closer too, having fun together and daft little in jokes.

Safety is key. Erm. In your oven gloves? In something you normally have locked? Something you keep out of reach of the kids?

Do some people genuinely just always do important stuff with their time, never anything fundamentally pointless just for fun? Is reading a book also a waste of life? Or snoozing listening to a podcast? Playing boardgames? Spending time reading and commenting on Mumsnet?

Why do so many people have a stick up their arse about how OP chooses to do "leisure" with her partner? Fair enough if it's not how you personally would choose to spend your time, but if that's the case why sit here participating in it by making mardy comments? Go and find something important to do if this is such a waste of time!

Right I'm out of the kitchen. I need to do you a diagram or something. My kitchen is half renovated so lacking a lot of these things!

We've had a shit time recently but this is the sort of thing we would have done in the early days. One day I lost my nose stud in his bedroom and he spent all day hoovering with a pair of tights on the nozzle.

Microwave?

Extractor fan?

In the Oven?

In the Oven Gloves?!

On the latch bit of one of the cupboard child safety locks. If you have a corner cupboard, my bet is that one as you're less likely to see it when you open the door.

If you’re renovating, do you have a step ladder in the kitchen, are they sometimes called safety steps?
