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

Oh. Rats! Multiple pages. Catches me out every time!

I would hate this little game, but if its what you do in your relationship, each to their own.

In mugs? In the fridge? In pasta/tea containers?

Dillydollydingdong · 06/07/2023 12:11

Why on earth does he think this is funny.? It's about as funny as a boil on the bum! When you get a chance, hide his car keys and tell him it's just a joke.

Georgyporky · 06/07/2023 12:12

Someone please tell me what is a "BJ stool" ?
My imagination is running riot.

I think thats rather the plan. To prank him back?
Have you missed the entire point of the thread?

Utterly boring

Print out a picture of a new, shinier, sparklier ring and put it on the counter saying this is the upgrade I want since you hid the old one.

Slow news day for you?

Trickedbyadoughnut · 06/07/2023 12:20

@LyingWitchInTheWardrobe I lost my engagement ring - I put it in a safe place and we've moved house and changed car since then ... I still believe though. So now you've found yours @SniggleSnarf, if you could come round and find mine now ...

peanutbutterjellytime22 · 06/07/2023 12:22

Wait has @Tidsleytiddy commented already? Imagine saying a thread is soooo boring but repeatedly coming back to it to comment some more. How embarrassing!

SniggleSnarf · 06/07/2023 12:24

Right he's on his way for lunch, so hidden ring and put magnet lock back where it was.

So ring is on top of hob plug, teeny diamond side in. Thanks again guys was fun.

Give his bike away & set fire to his golf clubs.

Maybe, but you keep posting, which is odd!

I’m off out now so enjoy your childish games x

Wtf is this meant to be some amusing game because it sounds like a completely fucked up relationship to me.

Get a grip, it's a couple having a laugh.
Your poor partner must be miserable.

mainbrochus · 06/07/2023 12:27

Well done OP!

very funny and very revealing of all the people that instead of scrolling past, had to comment about how crap / boring / controlling it was. More than once !

my SILs must be on here.

Karatema · 06/07/2023 12:29

SniggleSnarf · 06/07/2023 09:04

I need the ring to sell or how else will I pay to divorce?

🤣🤣

And yet you've followed it for 22 pages!

Don't you have something terribly important and superior to be getting along with like ironing your knickers?

Nclktnntt · 06/07/2023 12:33

Oh my god you miserable lot! It's a little bit of fun. Who cares if you'd find it annoying, OP obviously doesn't. So help or scroll off. Simple!

So my guesses :

  • Water tank on the coffee machine.
  • In the sugar 🙈
  • In the bottom of a serial box
  • Anything you have in the kitchen that is in a box but had a bag containing the ingredients
  • in the towel drawer
  • If your toaster has the shelves to collect the bits I'd look there
  • In the pots& pans
  • up on top of the cupboards
  • under the coffee machine, kettle, anything that sits on you counter
  • on or in the extractor fan - if it's accessible.
  • The u-bend on the sink - risky but too heavy to go down the stack so possible hiding spot.

Im guessing you've gone through the mugs, teapots, bowels and plates those things. Dishwasher would be brave as it could go down the drains if you turned it on, so I would think there.

Those are my guesses. Good luck!

Make sure you've got your lunch money and look both ways before crossing the road.
