TheVillageIdiot · 27/04/2005 17:07

Mud - I didn't dare say that - posts crossed!

They were £2.50 and lasted 4 years when I was 12 and had 2

Could we donate our subs to get a bouquet?

ok - sorry. I'm going to go and calm down now!

Sorry to hear that Titania's poor gerbil didn't survive.. I thought it was all ok because it was found yesterday.

bundle · 27/04/2005 17:11

me too, i thought this was the final happy outcome...

WE FOUND THE GERBIL!!!! .....it had made it outside!!! i had opened the door to put the rubbish out and he wouldnt let me close the door. DS2 was saying 'hiya hiya' and waving at the shed.......poor little patch was bedraggled in a puddle by the shed.....have dried her off and reunited her with her sister now......phew!!!!

Mud · 27/04/2005 17:11

probably died of shock

Spacecadet · 27/04/2005 17:12

this thread has made me pmsl however, asfar as i was aware the first posting re;gerbils was just before titanias gerbil thread and the poter then apologised after seeing that thread, however,asfar as i could see it this was not a direct mickey take on titanias thread, if it wasthen, then everyone should be offended as we have all been sending ourselves up. ive been sent up on here too, and also did not get upset when happydaddy jokingly asked if i could be preg, despite the fact that i misscarried 4 weeks ago, he didnt know that, anymore than alot of people were unaware of the gerbil thread.oh and im sorry bout your gerbil titania, your kids must be really upset

HappyDaddy · 27/04/2005 17:13

Spacecadet · 27/04/2005 17:14

it prob was the shock tbh, same thing happened with dd1's hamster once.

Fio2 · 27/04/2005 17:14

i really cant comment, I find gerbils funny

cat82 · 27/04/2005 17:15

Absolutly Space Cadet that's exactly what i told her about other peoples threads being teased as well. I think she's just feeling a bit fragile at the mo, and maybe she reacted like this because of the gerbil dying?

Spacecadet · 27/04/2005 17:15

dont worry happydaddy, you didnt know, tbh mumsnet is the only thing thats kept me sane in the last few weeks, especially this thread. laughed properly for the first time in ages, and some of your thread suggestionsade me die

can't believe I'm trying to change the subject through cannibalisation

Blu · 27/04/2005 17:17

Gerbils ARE funny.
Not funny for Titania (and esp her kids) that her little gerbil perished,
but alive and fictional MN gerbils continue to be funny.
In my tiny mind.

Fio2 · 27/04/2005 17:18

Blu

titania we didnt wish your gerbil dead and we all feel awful even though we laugh at gerbil jokes, really cant understand why anyone would want to put them up their bum though

Mud · 27/04/2005 17:19

if you spell gerbils backwards its slibreg which is actually serbo-croatian for snurk

Spacecadet · 27/04/2005 17:19

sounds lovelf mud[barf] any other recipie suggestions for my thumb? answers on a postcard please

SoupDragon · 27/04/2005 17:19

Don't know why T should be so upset - someone implied my angelic little DS2 has red horns and a tail further down the thread.

We paid a lot to have them surgically removed shortly after birth.

Mud · 27/04/2005 17:19

because they've got long tails fio, if you use a hamster you can't get it out again .. alledgedly snurk

TheVillageIdiot · 27/04/2005 17:19

Titles:

I have a kitchen roll tube - can anyone suggest any uses?

bundle · 27/04/2005 17:20

soupy, that's good, other people have to regularly file them down

Spacecadet · 27/04/2005 17:21

im sorry for your little ones titania,please dont be upset, we like you and no one has been taking the piss out of you.

Spacecadet · 27/04/2005 17:23

ouch! soupy, bet he was painful to give birth too
