Classic hiding places

    I pulled my drawer off the runners today and to my surprise I found a stash of "profylactics" on the ground, hidden beneath the drawer. So I started thinking where else did I hide things in my room when I was a kid. Checked a hole in the wall which can only be accessed when you open the dart board cabinet and pull back the dartboard....found two bangers (the firework variety and not the chemical variety).

    Anyone else got some good hiding spots?!

    Where do you hide your porn stash? Or is it all in digital format now?

    A hollowed out section in the bottom of my mattress was great for stuffing anything into. I had a poster stuck to my ceiling that I could slide anything made of paper *ahem* onto without being visible.

    In the little hollow space when you pull out my bottom drawer!

    I'd a load of hiding places in my room when I was a kid, can't remember many of them now though. One though is at the side of my door, down at the skirting board. The gap between the doorframe and the wall (about 2-3 inches), the skirting board can be taken out and put back in, which was quite handy as a kid.
    Don't have anything that needs hiding these days though, so the hiding places have become somewhat redundant.

    remember those school-bags that you got with petrol tokens ? they may have been shell tokens ... anyhoo, my aulfella was a taxi driver, so we lived in token city ... that meant two school bags for me ... one real bag, and one 'decoy'

    that decoy bag was generally full of contraband* with a surface coat of old school books and copybooks etc. etc.

    hiding in plain sight ... ah the innocence of youth!

    * by contraband i mean 'mix tapes', bootlegs, moody wrestling videos, loose woodbines, and some classic 80's pr0n

    When I was a young teenager I'd hide thin objects like a letter behind a poster that was stuck to my wardrobe. Also a small section of carpet could be lifted and I'd hide some things under it.

    As a young adult I'd hide cash (rolled up) in the middle of a new box of tampons.

    Hems of curtains were a favourite...... as were....
    Small hole made in seam of matress......
    behind a loose peice of skirting board.......
    Under the carpet in the corner under the bed.......
    Hollow cut in headboard........
    behind posters on ceiling / wall.....
    behind radiators (at bottom)........
    inside tubular bedframe.....
    (and many many more)....

    But my favourite, was always, inside the TV / Radio / insert electrical appliance, always plenty of spare room there.
    lol, when ur young ita amazing how fire-risk isnt in your vocab isnt it? ;)
