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

Right time for some sanity....you need a pile of muesli (alpen of course its fab) 1 dustbin lid....1 short stick aprox 8" and a length of string.
Now for the fun part place said muesli in centre of kitchen floor, place dustbin lid above said muesli propped up by said stick....with said string tied to stick.....retire to a safe distance (with a bottle of wine) and wait.

when the fugitive rodent smells FAB said muesli.....he will POP out of hiding.

when fugitive rodent reaches pile of FAB muesli pull said string thus removing stick and trapping POPCORN under said dustbin lid.

Return POPCORN to cage and secure.

This method tried and tested by Dh who assures me it works pmsl

This is so a regular. I have my suspicions (but will not voice them).

Hub, have you been perving at some poor womans boots in weight watchers? Tut.

hub2dee · 09/11/2006 20:38

Attendance at weight watchers always needs incentives. I was just pondering the fantastic boots.

Cannot do link for the popcorn song, can someone technofied help? www.popcorn-song.com I did see this on this site:

"Mash-ups
Some interesting mash-ups have surfaced during the years. Here are some. If you have more, let me know."

My daughter knelt on her hamster the first day it was out of its cage, I couldn't go into the room to face it, but I went out side to weep with laughter.....

hoxohoxohoxo · 09/11/2006 20:43

Have read the thread and am of firm opinion that hamster was suicidal.
He filleted himself. Sprinkled on some garlic and pepper, waved goodbye to the world and jumped in.
Check under the ever revolving wheel, you'll likley find a little note. The writing will be bad, hamsters will find it difficult to hold a biro, but given that he was obviously a tortured little soul I'm sure it will be eloquent, poignant and sad.

Same for the elephant. Or maybe he was just looking for some cheese and eggs.

either way - thanks for the chuckle today.

All right, all right, I confess! Distracted you lot from Cowmad though, didn't it?!

tiredemma · 09/11/2006 21:08

MrsBojangles · 09/11/2006 21:09

I think it was brilliant! dd kept asking mama why are you laughing and I just couldn't tell her! she's 4 and has hamsters ... hmmm they're nice and fat atm so probably would taste nice on a spit

As if I'd ever lie!

saadia · 09/11/2006 21:16

crikey this is still going. Honestly if I thought I had eaten a hamster that climbed into my cooking I would be vomiting non-stop and feeling incredibly disgusted and not remotely worried about the effect on anyone else, but then I can't bear animals.

LaPauvre · 09/11/2006 21:16

You are lying hunkermunker

Can you please stop hounding this woman ?

Hunker, do you really think this is funny ? I don't think this is the place. Really. We could be talking about a soul.

hamstermunker · 09/11/2006 21:18

Surely I'm not - I had "hamstermunker" all picked out days ago for this one!

southeastastra · 09/11/2006 21:18

for gawds sake

LaPauvre · 09/11/2006 21:20

Yes Hunkermunker. Actually I do think animals have souls. So you are being disrespectful as well as a liar.

PMSL!!...This is a MN classic

Welcome back WWW.

She thinks she's such a matriarch on here, LP.

I'd rather be pro animals than pro bf any day. Why don't you get your priority right ? With formula, a child can survive. With a blender, Brian's had it.

Oh stop it hub, you're killing me!
