    Most TVs have physical controls on them.

    Do they? Mine doesn't.

    I reckon it might be in the cupboard under the stairs.. you can hide all manner of things in there, and no-one would know.

    It's amusing because you made him suffer. I know his pain, without the remote we are lost. How would you feel if your DH accidently took your hoover to work?


    I hid my wife's iron in 2010. One of these days she will notice it's missing. :whistle:


    As for hiding the remote - grounds for divorce, I reckon!;)

    Don't talk to me about remote controls. I'm constantly confusing it with my mobile phone. I keep trying to get hold of my OH but all that happens is that the TV keeps switching from corrie to East Enders and back again.
    Never again will the wolf get so close to my door :eek:

    We had a little fight this morning before work over her leaving crumbs in the butter and i've came home to find she's hidden Megatron from me :( i can't turn the TV on any other way and i'm missing elephant diaries! I've tried thinking like a woman to try find Megatron, but the weirdest thing happend. I stopped to do the ironing. Now i'm back in man mode, so i have used my initiative and decided to ask for help.

    If you were a woman, where would you hide the remote?

    I am a woman. I would keep it in my handbag. :)

    What's an iron? A four letter word, if ever there was one!

    For the first two years we lived in Spain, we didn't have an iron. The we did a home exchange holiday and the people staying in our house texted me to ask where the iron was. So we bought one for when we exchanged homes with other people in the future .

    When we left Spain six years later, the iron had been used by us once (by my husband to iron some transfers onto his tee shirt) and the ironing board was still shrink-wrapped. We left them in the storeroom for the people who bought the house :)

    What on earth are you doing looking for it? this is the perfect excuse to go to Currys and splash out on a bigger screen.

    Oh and if she doesn't buck her ideas up I would find a good solicitor.

    When I worked in an office and had more money I used to have a cleaning lady. I'm a domestic goddess when it comes to bread-making and cooking but not so much cleaning and ironing. Came home from work one day to find that she'd tried to do some ironing for me but only succeeded in finding my ski-waxing iron.. fortunately she realised something was wrong after the first item..
