    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.
    No, but this is nerd goods. I rip her for her love of TBBT and dr who! If she knew i had pokemon, i would never live it down :o

    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
    This is the winner! Any excuse to use gaffer, i'm on it :D

    Wrong. I do.

    Yet another woman that has not been married long, you will learn;0)
    Been married 12 years in September. And in fact, we usually take out the rubbish together, because these days there are several different containers of recycling to put out.:o

    I would suggest a toolbox to hide stuff. Tools are pretty boring.
    Boring they may be, but if I need something out of the toolbox, I help myself to it. So again, not a good hiding place.:D
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Somewhat jealous of Mrs Anon that you go to so much trouble with her presents, good on you :).

    It depends whether you want to hide it from a woman setting out to find something or stop her stumbling across it. For the first, you'd probably need to get a friend to hide it in his / her house, but if it's just so she doesn't find it by accident something simple like at the bottom of your underwear drawer would probably do. What's wrong with leaving it in the loft as she's not found it there? A bit of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". If you feel you want something more ''secret' than that, what about cutting out the inside of a book you know she won't want to read - unless she's likely to donate it to the local charity shop.
    . . .I did not speak out

    Then they came for me
    And there was no one left
    To speak out for me..

    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.



    Tool box? Socks/pants drawer? Although personally I don't see anything wrong with the stuff you're trying to hide myself...
