To expect that if i 'do' the shopping 'unpack' it and 'put it away' that when i wanted to eat it there might be something left for me ?

Am seriously thinking of having my own hidden stash ?
Is that normal ?

Just me who cant find the chocolate then

Yes, get your own hidden stash. I do, in a high up cupboard. It usually contains chocolate, biscuits and sweets. And if it is found dh is on a diet anyway and ds's can't reach.

lol. IKWYM. Same happens here too. Shopping comes in, the vultures descend...and then it's all finished. Then they have the cheek to compain that there is nothing to eat!!

upagumtree if i hear that phrase again ....

righto next shopping trip i get myself a high cupboard

lol lily...have a high cupboard...it doesnt work. They only climb higher to get to stash!

I have a 5 pack of Wispa's hidden behind the cook books. Mmm...think I'll have one now actually (Reading the massive diet thread has driven me to it).

Yes, I have a secret stash of Hula Hoops in the boot of the car. I am planning on extending my range of stash as it has been so successful!

YANBU. You need to take a leaf out of The Little Red Hen's book. "Who will help me to eat the shopping?" "No you will not!" etc etc

I once had a secret stash of crisps hidden in the "cleaning" cupboard.

Since no body but me does any cleaning, my stash was safe

MadamDeathstare...you should hide your stash in the DTD's room amongst the chaos! Fantastic hiding spot IMO!

ooh now if i could hide it in the washing machine / ironing pile no one would ever find it

I have found success with the salad drawer in the fridge, never touched by teenagers.

Yes nothing but a secret stash works.

Acutally it's dh who is the culprit in this house. If he can't find anything nice he'll eat the dcs' organix crisps and sugar free gingerbread men.

Ooooooh! I'm liking beind the cookbooks as a hiding place

Yip my dh has also been known to eat the cooking chocolate in times of desparation!

Yes, the cleaning cupboard is a good place to hide stuff. I mean, if DH ever actually does anything that requires a cleaning cloth and gets it for himself, then I guess he's entitled... its not happened yet.

Tesco shopping is being delivered soon. So i'm tying to think of the best place to stash all the goodies.

Try on top of the kitchen cupboards - my stash is still undiscovered

Top of cupboard no good lol. DH keeps random bits and pieces (such as lightbulbs and string etc)hidden up there. However have just hidden a bar of chocolate and a packet of kitkats behind the medicine basket in the top cupboard and a multibag of crisps in my slow cooker They'll never think of looking there

I'm lucky, no-one else in the house eats white chocolate so it's all mine.

Try stashing chocolate in your wardrobe or in your drawers. The only reason my ds or DH would go in there would be to put clothes away, which neither of them do.
