What should I do?
« on: October 30, 2007, 11:06:27 AM »
Moral advice required.

Mrs Nick is very absent minded and is forever losing stuff - keys, specs, vital papers. This is daily. Her usual stance is that I have maliciously hidden whatever item it is, since she prefers to balme me than herself. SHe also puts stuff in the oddest places (e.g phone in the fridge). A few years back she  had to deliver a large sum of cash somewhere and decided it would be safest to hide it in her underpants (a reasonable idea IMHO) but forgot she had put it there and managed to flush it all down a toilet when she stopped en route for a pee. noooo:

Before we went away in the summer she had withdrawn £500 from the bank to pay a workman. She put it "in a safe place" and promptly forgot where she had put it. She whittled endlessly over the summer and went through periodic bouts of rummaging, but the cash never turned up and I paid the guy myself in the end.

Earlier on, looking for a misplaced key  cussing: I experiementally opened up a disused garlic pot and lo and behold £500 in £50 pound notes.

Should I tell her?

Query 1 - A few years back she  had to deliver a large sum of cash somewhere and decided it would be safest to hide it in her underpants (a reasonable idea IMHO) but forgot she had put it there and managed to flush it all down a toilet when she stopped en route for a pee. noooo:

Query 2 - I experimentally opened up a disused garlic pot and lo and behold £500 in £50 pound notes. Should I tell her?


Response on query 1 - How can you NOT known you have cash down your knickers UNLESS you wear VERY STRANGE knickers or have little albeit no sensation down there  whistle: A large amount of cash in notes would surely feel very uncomfortable and similar to a weggie after a while and surely a large amount of cash in coins would jingle  whistle: However if it was in coins this could bring a whole new meaning to the phrase 'spending a penny ' .......

Response on query 2 - Yes and no - Don't tell her because it's finders keepers rules in our house BUT do take her out for a nice treat and get a little nice teat for yourself  eyes:

A little treat - such as something you have wanted for ages but not felt justified in spending family funds on before. Don't now what sort of treat floats your boat so to speak but if it was BM then we all know it would be probably a fish eye lens or currently now a new motorbike.
As I am committing to having corrective lazer eye surgery this coming Friday afternoon  scared2: there has been copious mention of motorbikes being needed lately - sort of along the lines of uhm well if you're spending that type of money on YOURSELF ¬!!!!!!!

Technically, it's the 500 that you ended up paying the guy. So, keep it (bank it) and tell you found it and it's now in a safe place again  whistle:

Not telling her  would be a protracted punishment of a kind I rarely get the chance of doing! spider: ;D
