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

I’d find it, not tell him, sell it at the local gold shop, keep the money, and make him think he’s lost it forever and a day. That’ll teach him to play these ridiculous little games.

Cleaning cupboard on the nozzle of a spray bottle?

GeekyDiva80 · 06/07/2023 09:43

I'm the kettle, around a phone charging cable, in the cutlery draw, in the hob extractor (the bit that folds down), in a vitamin/pill box, behind a bread board, used as a washer for the taps 🤣, in a piece of fruit, in the flour/sugar, around a flower stalk, in a recipe book, in a bottle of oil, on a shelf right in front of your eyes, in a laptop, in a picture frame.

But she likes it? Its called FUN?

CaptainSeven · 06/07/2023 09:44

In an envelope attached to a notice board. Do you have a pin board or magnetic board in the kitchen?

We need photos of your kitchen to help us suggest ideas.

Somewhere you do go - but not often. Least used cupboard/drawer.

WhatInFreshHell · 06/07/2023 09:45

You've obviously got a lovely relationship, sounds fun! I have no suggestions on where to look.
Why is everyone so miserable this morning?! Jesus.

Christ on a bike, personally i think its great to see a couple having a laugh and a joke. Is there not enough unhappiness here? and all this sanctimonious oh im far too busy BS. Thats quite sad really. Learn to take time for fun, it makes life and relationships so much better.

That's not my idea of fun.

gemstoneju · 06/07/2023 09:45

Doesn't he think you have enough to do with looking after small children?

Leave the kids with him on Saturday and hide his phone before you leave.

Go out all day and do something nice. He won't even be able to contact you to moan about it.

Humpobottomous · 06/07/2023 09:45

On all honesty, he sounds quite immature and irritating - I don’t find this funny at all

Jongleterre · 06/07/2023 09:45

Good grief! What pathetic nonsense.

I would take him at his word that he is the master of all hiding things and handcuff him to your bed and have a look up his jacksy with the help of a Turkey baster.

That's not my idea of fun.

It doesnt have to be.
Swinging isnt my idea of fun either but each to their own.
Its their idea of fun, thats all that matters.

ReachForTheMars · 06/07/2023 09:47

I'm glad you are having fun. Sounds like my idea of hell.

Try his pockets, seems like he would hide them and put them somewhere you already looked.

I'll sit boringly over here with my feet up, coffee in hand and mumsnet before visiting the garden centre.

CrotchetyQuaver · 06/07/2023 09:47

What a petty thing to do, I would refuse to play this silly game

BadNomad · 06/07/2023 09:47

Post a photo of your kitchen 😉

It's probably up high. Men are lazy buggers.

SomersetBrie · 06/07/2023 09:47

Not read the full thread as could not cope with all the LTB people - but, sellotaped to the underside of something? Under a chair or kitchen table?

Winningatseesaw · 06/07/2023 09:48

Did he slip it in your pocket?

gemstoneju · 06/07/2023 09:48

For all the people saying 'oh stop being so miserable it's FUN' - well, young children have an uncanny knack of finding 'lost' things and then losing them forever. They really do have the ability to find a needle in a haystack. I lost things when my children were young and never found them again. Although I did come across a set of keys buried in the garden.

Watchinghurling · 06/07/2023 09:49

In the ice cube tray

NortieTortie · 06/07/2023 09:49

Ignore the previous posters. They probably clicked on your thread hoping for a juicy read about a cheating spouse and are taking their disappointment out on you. Miserable buggers.

Look under counters, in plant pots, and in the paper towel holder. Under the bread?

Superfood · 06/07/2023 09:49

Is it behind this photo?

He has probably frozen it in an ice cube.

Smoothiecarton · 06/07/2023 09:49

You guys obviously have a lot of free time.
why would you bother looking?
