    Where is a place women dont look?

    Too much of a generalisation, depends on the woman.

    Suggestions like the garden shed/garage/toolbox wouldn't work in this house, because those places (along with the rest of the house including the attic) are largely my domain.

    Only place I don't have access to on a regular basis is my husband's car, so if you each have your own car, hide your stash of !!!!!! mags in the car. Or take them down to the tip - I mean, they are not much use to you in the attic anyway are they?

    Care to divulge the nature of the items to be concealed? Then we will know the size of hidey hole.
    Its not !!!!!! like everyone is suggesting. I got the internet for that :rotfl:

    No, it is actually my stash of pokemon cards from 1997 including a rare first edition Charizard that is worth a lot! There is also my completed star wars tazo collection and my Jeremy Guscott autograph. I cant be seen as having nerd stuff as i give her jip for being a nerd :D

    I take the bin out as well. Its on wheels so its easy.

    You need a man cave.
    Or how about renting a storage unit.

    hubby has a man cave... its called the shed. I couldnt get in there even if i wanted to. Its security is like Fort Knox.... Thinking about it he could get an extra set of family in there too...theres electricity in there but no water.

    Now i know why he's always pleading poverty.:D

    Good places for OH to hide stuff would be in his fishing bag (yuk), in the gun safe (he has the only key), or in one of his shoes or wellies - I would never put my hand in there!!

    Seriously though does your wife go through every cupboard and drawer you have your stuff in? I would think my OH was spying on me if he did that and likewise respect his privacy.

    under the kitchen base units?

    take the boards off to 'clean' under them, stick said cards to bottom of units with gaffer tape (in a waterproof bag) clean and then place boards back! sorted and safe from damp,

    unless she does a surprise kitchen change then you would be screwed

    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)
