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

who are you, you vermin munching freak

poppynboo · 09/11/2006 21:37

And I was all sympathetic

i have been sitting here reading this thread, and, regardless of how true you think it is, I think most of you should be ashamed by your attitude.

LP- I agree I dont think you could have eaten it sweetie. I believe Wallace had the best idea, when she said to put food in each room.

Please dont think that MN is full of shallow individuals who only poke fun instead of offering any real advice. Since joining I have found this a great support.

I am just sorry that you have had such a bad time on your first thread.

I hope your dd is feeling better now. Unfortunatly, as you know, Losing a pet is something that all children go through at some point. And it is upsetting when it happens.

I really do hope he is just hiding somewhere in your house (stop fretting about the casserole).

And just be aware that you could upset a lot of peope by being negative regards breastfeeding. I breastfeed my 4 month old and it is a wonderful experience and I love every minute of it.

One does feel slight guilt towards those who were taken in and showed genuine kindness

But not much

Now howzat for a fantastic cross post

hub2dee · 09/11/2006 21:41

I quite agree pink. Some people, especially the matriarchs think they're so 'it'.

LaPauvre · 09/11/2006 21:41

pinktinsel, it was a windup. Sorry

Yeah, really funny LP. I am wetting myself.

pinktinselanddollymixtures · 09/11/2006 21:42

just read since my post, i wasted 5 mins out of my day writing that. i was really feeling sorry for you being hounded. (can see the funny side tho!)

hamstermunker · 09/11/2006 21:42

Out yourself, you hamster-botherer!

VeniVidiVickiQV · 09/11/2006 21:42

Hub, I think you are in danger of being told to

"Fuck off" by an 'oldie'

Non response to my post duly noted LP

hub2dee · 09/11/2006 21:42

I think I might have had enough of MN when compassion for souls goes, what do we honestly have left ?

Moomin · 09/11/2006 21:42

I was just going to suggest that LP waited til she went for a poo and then pushed it through a sieve to see if she (and rest of family) could find any hammy remnants.

but i see my genuine kindness is not wanted now.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 09/11/2006 21:43

Hamster Casserole, Pirate Sex and Cats and Footballs..... i think hub

geekgrrl · 09/11/2006 21:43

well, what a relief. didn't know what to believe.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 09/11/2006 21:43

I kinda want to end that with "These are a few of my favourite things"

LaPauvre · 09/11/2006 21:44

No, Moomin, you can keep that sort of advice to yourself [blee]

But to no one else. Because pink is bf a four month old. So is fab. And if she was ff, then it would be so different.

hub2dee · 09/11/2006 21:46

Can't believe you don't have a grain store. Commoner.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 09/11/2006 21:47

some think Hamster rather tasty

LaPauvre · 09/11/2006 21:47

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 600
