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

please don't eat me, let me go

LaPauvre · 09/11/2006 15:53

I have been through the bin, I didn't find a skull, but it was all messed up and gloopy, I did use a little hand-held blender to smash up some of the veg (I put some fresh in and then boiled for an hour just to freshen it up because it was leftovers) but I don't think I could have crushed up a whole skull, could I? But there was hair in there or something that looked like wet hair.

Please will you stop taking the mickey, I have said lots of times that I know it sounds stupid but I am really upset and some of you are not helping. There is a little girl who is going to come home soon and find her pet gone, and it's my fault .

Google offices

"Why is there a massive increase in hamster photo seaches today?"

katierocket · 09/11/2006 15:53

Excellent Twig

what did you google to find that!!

southeastastra · 09/11/2006 15:54

can you get another one quickly?

sandyballs · 09/11/2006 15:54

God I feel sick.

MascaraOHaraIncredibleSheHulk · 09/11/2006 15:55

It's not like you have to tell your DD you ate it is it FFS!!!!!

How about "sweetie the Hamster has escaped, I've looked for him but can't find him - we'll just have to wait and see if he turn up again"

Bozza · 09/11/2006 15:55

It is not because you can spell that I think you are not genuine. It is because your story is entirely unbelievable. BTDT with bumfluff. I am currently speculating about how many of the people offering advice genuinely believe the story, and how many are tongue in cheek.

LaPauvre · 09/11/2006 15:55

I feel sick too. DH is going to kill me.

an entire site devoted to eating hamsters

hunkermunker · 09/11/2006 15:56

What sort of hamster was it? Syrian? Roborovski? Winter White?

Spidermama · 09/11/2006 15:57

You haven't had Freddie Star lurking around in your kitchen have you?
Only, I've heard reports about him ...

katierocket · 09/11/2006 15:57

eeeeooowwww

Blandmum · 09/11/2006 15:57

The fur would have been a bit of a give away. And the turds.

JanH · 09/11/2006 15:57

"I put some fresh in and then boiled for an hour just to freshen it up because it was leftovers"

You boil your veg for an HOUR? I am shocked!

doggiesayswoof · 09/11/2006 15:57

FGS don't tell dh either then. They are tricky little buggers - he escaped, you are looking for him - end of.

There is a lot of good advice among the (v funny) comments - why aren't you taking it?

anon31 · 09/11/2006 15:58

I think you would notice the fur in the pot.
If you are for real, get down the pet shop and buy another one.

beckybrastraps · 09/11/2006 15:58

I have to say that if I thought I'd eaten a hamster, the first thing on my mind would NOT be the feelings of said hamster's owner. It would be the thought that I had just eaten a hamster. Strikes a false note to me...or am I just particularly hard-hearted?

Tell your dd he ran away....Dave did.

PyroPaps · 09/11/2006 15:58

can´t help with the absent hamster, but boiling vege for an hour to freshen the dish is about 45 minutes to long imo

WelshBoris · 09/11/2006 15:58
