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

Live and let live I always say. When in Rome, do what Romans do.

Well I'm not much for breastfeeding anyway, dirty habit if you ask me.

I hope it makes you laugh Hunkermunker, literally dancing on the grave of my dd's pet

Not read whole thread (do you blame me)

My hamster finding tip: Put a pile of food in the corner of each room. Shut all the doors in the evening, and in hte morning you will hopefully at least know which room the hamster is in.

Years ago we bought a hamster for my little sister's birthday, but had to keep it for a couple of days without a proper cage. Of course it escaped, and we were convinced the dog had eaten it. It turned up a week later - by which time we had already bought dsis another one! I also know someone who lost a hamster for months, until it appeared oneday. So don't rush out to buy a new one just yet.

Thinks, Hub, thinks? I'll have you know I have alleged arse-lickers all over this site!

Er. That came out wrong.

I love hamsters, me.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 09/11/2006 21:25

Oh snotty you make me larf!

LaPauvre · 09/11/2006 21:25

Do you Hunkermunker? Shall I fish him out of my bin and send him to you in a Jiffy bag?

www glad the yummy hamster casserole tempted you back

Wallace · 09/11/2006 21:26

Ahh...just read last post (cross posted) must be a joke. And there was I not wanting to laugh(like everyone else) in case in was true....

hub2dee · 09/11/2006 21:26

Depends on the door gap at the bottom, Wallace.

hunker you are so hoity toity, sometimes, but you are revealing yourself for the crude and uncaring person you are.

hamstermunker · 09/11/2006 21:26

To clarify - I like them alive.

LP isn't me - I'm far wittier

hamstermunker · 09/11/2006 21:28

HoityMunker - I like it, Hub!

Come on, LP, pull yer mask off and say you'd have got away with it if it wasn't for those meddling MNers.

hub2dee · 09/11/2006 21:29

LP - I've backed you all the way, but please don't call bf a dirty habit. . Some people just want the best for their children. Like you want the best flavour for your soup, so you try and cook nicely, and blend smoothly. It's all horses for courses.

sunchowder · 09/11/2006 21:29

Mumsnet at its best again.....

LaPauvre · 09/11/2006 21:30

I don't find you witty Hunkermunker. There's nothing witty about poking fun at people's beloved family pets being broiled and eaten. How would you like it?

I think my suspicions are right...

AllieIsNiceAndFluffy · 09/11/2006 21:30

this sounds like rhubarb to me

doyouwantfrieswiththat · 09/11/2006 21:31

horses for courses

is that horse d'ouevres

ilovecaboose · 09/11/2006 21:31

oh come on and own up please

foundintranslation · 09/11/2006 21:31

No, not Rhubarb, Allie - at least I don't think so.

foxtrot · 09/11/2006 21:32

aha - is use of the word 'broiled' a clue to identity?

LaPauvre · 09/11/2006 21:32

Sshhhhhh FIT

She'd like it Medium Rare LP

foundintranslation · 09/11/2006 21:33

Ah

AllieIsNiceAndFluffy · 09/11/2006 21:33

well, she lived in france didn't she???? le pauvre is the poor i think?? I dunno. I always say rhubarb to these spoof threads

hub2dee · 09/11/2006 21:34

I can't believe I've expended this much emotional energy on a wind up. Including exposing personal beliefs re: soul, bf, calf-tight boots etc.

LP you should be ashamed.
