Hello. Goodness. I am losing my mind. Here is why…
1. Every time I do the washing there is ONE BATMAN CAPE and ONE ANAKIN TUNIC in the pile. Every time. Every single time. No one in my house wears these items, yet they boomerang their way into the basket daily. I think they are not there, and then there they are, balled up in between the towels and the spencers. Ugh. I think I need to HIDE THEM.
2. Every time I pick up my camera there are THREE BATTERIES missing from within. Every time. I keep buying batteries, I keep recharging batteries. I think we have 459 batteries in this house. Yet when I flip the little door open and peek inside, my camera always yields a solo AA. I am stuck taking photos on my iPhone. I don’t always WANT to be Instamatic. I don’t want to be ‘i’ all the time. I want to look fancy cute with a PROPER CAMERA dammit! I want to take some PROPER photos dashit! I think I need to HIDE IT.
3. Every time I buy a bottle of Dettol it will be 3/4 gone in less than 12 hours. Every time. Everyone in my house loves the smell of Dettol. It is a sickness. We go sick on Dettol. Dettol is like our Chanel No 5. The more we have, the more we use. And yet no one smells like Dettol. Weird. It’s gone in a trice. I think I need to HIDE IT.
4. My favourite honey is the Beechworth one. I like to have it in my tea with some soy milk. Yum. I especially like it in chai. Super yum. We have 3 jars of honey, of various varieties in our house. We have leatherwood and orange blossom and we have Beechworth too. Every time I buy it, the jar is half gone in 2 days. I do not see anyone using it, but it gets used and then there is hardly any left and no one else buys any more. I am the only person in the house who buys this kind of honey. And there is usually none left when I need some. I think I need to HIDE IT.
What do you need to hide? (Apart from this blog when I write about REALLY IMPORTANT things like this, of course.)

(No sponsorship by Dettol or Beechworth of this blog, btw. In case you were wondering. Nope. Also no sponsorship by Batman or Anakin.)
It doesn't matter that the picture doesn't match the post. You don't need an excuse to have a photo of the luverly Jarvis ๐
Oh gp! I will mail it to youuuuu!
the batman cape is mine
I think I need to hide just about anything precious because I live in shared accommodation. For the past 3 months I have lived in a new house with lovely and caring people
(lucky me!) but for FIVE YEARS before that I had to hide my expensive knives, the nice champagne glasses, candles, fancy shampoo, the records I inherited from my dad, the "good" salad bowl, all sorts of things – even some of my clothes! …or they would get used up or broken or have sangria poured all over them…and they mostly did anyway because it's hard to hide things. I couldn't hide my pretty pink velvet couch and it got black ink all over it. Couldn't hide ALL my dishes and glasses and tupperware so now it is all mostly smashed or lost. Oh dear, living in shared accommodation is not very fun sometimes.
Biros!! I have a theory that biros are the pupae stage of coathangers… this is why there is never a biro when you need one. I try hiding them but then I forget where I put them…. sigh!
๐ this made me smile…I have to hide the treats because they are in the cupboard one day and then when i go to eat something they are gone…and there is only one other person in the house!
This really made me laugh. I would be here all night if I listed the things I need to hide. Batteries are top of the list, but ours go missing from the TV control (winds the hubby up no end!!!). Orange juice – I buy it and it is gone before the end of the day. All the children say is that I buy it to use. My argument is 'NOT IN THE SAME DAY, CAN I AT LEAST LOOK AT IF FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS' ….. yes I do shout it!!!
Love Marge
I hide chocolate. I hide it in the vegetable drawer. No one finds it there.
Oh Pip, this made me laugh ๐ I have a similar thing: From my bedroom to my front door I seem to go through some sort of timewarp that always makes me 5 minutes late for work. Hmph. How do I hide time?!?
there are no ghosts in my house. Therefore i don't hide anything.
No : that's not true : i don't have to hide anything.
But somethimes i want to cklean up the house too much i guesss, because after cleaning, some things are hidden ….
I hide my secateurs, chocolate biscuits, presents for my other half, presents for my mother and presents for my children and then I cannot remember where the things are when I want to use/eat/give them away. Silly.
I so get the batteries thing, and I always need four, but only ever have three spare. This post made me laugh out load, the people in the kids play centre think I am a crazy mum!
Ah Pip! We have a blasted cape too that appears like magic every laundry day. I don't get it either. And what's awful about it? It has these glued-on sequins that end up all over the other clothes and my husband just is NOT keen on sparkly clothes for him. I don't know why, I always like a bit of sparkle. ๐
Love that you've got the same insanity in your part of the world.
This is great. I wish I could hide (or protect) my garden from some little digging animal. I can't figure out what it is! I'll have fixed the garden up again and the minute I turn my back, there're little holes dug everywhere! I can never catch the little bugger!
Ahhhh, Jarv. Lovely picture. Thanks x
