Please don't laugh at me, I am so upset. She is at school, she will be gutted

I warmed up a pot of chicken casserole left over from yesterday to have for my lunch. I have eaten it, it's too late to do anything, but it was boiling for a good hour before I ate it and now I've just gone to feed dd's hamster and his cage is open and he isn't there . There was no lid on the casserole pot, his cage was on the shelf at the other end of the kitchen and the door was shut so there isn't really anywhere else he could have gone. He must have fallen in and drowned before it got hot, that's the only thing I can think of. I didn't find the hamster in the stew obviously, but there were some hairs in the pot, I just washed it it was full of bones anyway because they were those cheap chicken portions just boiled in from frozen.

Please, don't just laugh at me, I know this sounds silly but he was my daughter's birthday present, she is 6 and I don't think she will ever forgive me

It's Ok as long as pasterised.

I don't think my cat would fit in the toaster Blu - he's a bit of a fatso

LaPauvre · 09/11/2006 17:58

I did check the toaster, he wasn't there

I checked the kettle too, it has a wide spout, but he wasn't there either.

7Up, don't assume that your ex being well-hung has no relevance to the thread. It may well have a relevance which will only be revealed many posts later...

lp the reason people don't believe you is because it's totally impossible for you to have cooked and then eaten a hamster without realizing it.

right gotta cook ds' dinner .... oh bloody hell where is the dog? could my labrador have climbed into the pasta pot?

This has finally helped me understand the tiny human skulls that turned up in the ghoulash last month!

Borrowers...

Thank you

katierocket · 09/11/2006 18:00

Caligula I hope you're not suggesting....

Hamster abuse

Twiglett · 09/11/2006 18:00

Actually I'm bored now

SenoraPostrophe · 09/11/2006 18:01

nobody is alughing at the fact the hamster escaped, LP. we're laughing at the fact that you are even entertaining the possibility that you ate it without kowing. because you didn't.

Wow - a fantastic ready made dinner party story.

"Well, listen to this. Don't larff now. But I ate my daughters hamster. I did. No honest."

The best I can do is I set fire to Bez's hair.

LaPauvre · 09/11/2006 18:01

But I am totally genuine. Just give a thought to how much heart all this mickey-taking is causing.

But thank you to those who have been kind. I would have thought there would have been more of you. If he did jump into my casserole it won't have been a very humane death, how do you think that makes me feel?

Get a grip woman!! Of course you haven't eaten the hamster you would have choked on the fur. Your cooking must be bloody appalling .

Salamander · 09/11/2006 18:04

I truly believe that this little hamster suddenly woke up to the knowledge of the madhouse he was living in and made a bid for freedom...

It is getting a bit groundhog day isn't it.

WhizzBangCaligula · 09/11/2006 18:05

I think he's gone outside to throw footballs at the cat...

MerlinsBeard · 09/11/2006 18:05

how the hell would he have jumped all that way up to the saucepan? how would he have got in the pan? think about it, its just not liekjy AT ALL taht u ate it. 1 hour would not have been long enough to dissolve the meat off the bones, it would have floated for a while and the hair could well have been yours.

Saturn74 · 09/11/2006 18:05

Perhaps he didn't like living with a family of trolls, packed his hamster knapsack and headed for the bright lights of Hamsterdam?

Twiglett · 09/11/2006 18:05

ooo look how wide I just made it

MerlinsBeard · 09/11/2006 18:06

likey even

wannaBe1974 · 09/11/2006 18:06

so you're so upset by the fact that you've done this, and the fact that no-one believes you could have eaten the hamster, that you're staying here to post on the thread that you posted while you should actually have been looking for the hamster and then comforting your daughter.

yeah right.

am bored now too
