Please don't laugh, but I think I may have eaten dd's hamster, I am so upset.

[LaPauvre]

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

I don't have any A Levels but can tell a hamster from a chicken thigh

hamsters are like mice and can get into any gaps and squash themselves v small and thin

[MascaraOHaraIncredibleSheHulk]

hamster's can flatten themselves.

If a regular has started this to take the heat out of the cowmad situation then bravo and bravo again

[ScummyMummy]

HIJACK

mascara did you used to be doormat? or am i totally wrong?

[WhizzBangCaligula]

Oh I have tears running down my cheeks and an ache in my stomach from laughing so much

[hunkermunker]

They can get through a gap under a door.

A mouse, for instance, can fit through a gap the size of a pencil.

A cockroach can fit through a gap the size of a sheet of paper (edge-on) [barf]

Why do I know these things?!

[DizzyBint]

lapauvre- have we at least reassured you that you really can't have eaten it? oh hang on..did you heat the casserole up and eat it straight away just like that or did you whizz it up with a blender so it was more soupy? oh dear..

[LaPauvre]

Ugh, I will have to pick through the bones then, I ate some and trhew the rest in the bin with the bones. Yes I can see why this looks like a joke but really, it is not. It is horrible actually, I would like it not to be true DH will think I am a complete idiot as well.

[MascaraOHaraIncredibleSheHulk]

"Honey, I ate the Hamster" I swear get that little guy with hthe glasses to play the lead character, you'd make a mint...
