Feral toddler? Hamster? Puppy doing a jailbreak?

CombatBarbie · 25/11/2025 22:54

A rabbit? A small furry pet at least....

I’ve only read your opening post - not read any comments or updates because I want to see if I’m right - you were looking for your cat?????
I’ve done the same before 😂 if it’s not that I’m intrigued 😂😂😂

You're training for a midnight triathlon?

You go and kidnap it back right now. It is probably pining.

LaurieFairyCake · 25/11/2025 22:58

It’s happened a few times. It’s always been the guy next door until he died so I went round the back of the street and climbed over into his garden. No bin.

and I thought in for a penny and checked every garden 😬

I wouldn’t be so nuts about it but we’re having a massive clear out and our bin was full this week and I NEED it for next week

the only place it could be is directly next to us the other side but hidden round the back (and I climbed up a step ladder to look in their garden and I’m still too short to see over)

Admit it, @LaurieFairyCake. Did you murder the man next door for his bin-related crimes?

OK. Well that's mad. A budgie took your bin? Was it covered in trix?

Sorry to break it to you but... DH is sleeping soundly because he was the wind that made it vanish

Maybe she stashed the body in the bin, and claiming to look for it is a deflection for the rozzers so they don't think it's her.
