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

god this thread is sooo funny for a thread meant for remorse and sadness!!

Thanks to all these dodgy hamster links I have tried to access loads of forbidden sites at work.

wb will start to play along. Just surprised that there haven't been a few guesses as to who it is. Do you think it could be cod - doing her old spell properly to put them off the scent routine?

LaPauvre · 09/11/2006 16:10

DH is being really nice about it, he doesn't believe I could have eaten it or boiled it up though, he is having a look in the lounge and hall in case the hamster got under the door.

dd is crying in the bathroom, I just told her he got out and ran away but she is gutted.

I can see that posting "Please don't laugh but I have eaten a hamster" there would always be some people who would laugh at that. It isn't very nice though when I am obviously upset and not joking.

Does this thread offend you in any way?

Or are you jealous because if it is a wind up it is very very amusing?

LadyOfTheFlowersIs1Baby1Bump · 09/11/2006 16:11

or on the shelf above the worktop/hob/whatecer in the kitchen.
all his little bumbles would drop into your food etc...
nice.

LaPauvre · 09/11/2006 16:11

ladyoftheflowers he doesn't live on the worktop, his cage is on a long shelf that goes from one end of our kitchen to the other, he isn't on the food prep surfaces. I am quite surprised by how nasty some of you are.

Didn't the hamster shaped piece of chicken ring any alarm bells then?

Flamesparrow · 09/11/2006 16:12

The was the the serving up with brocolli post...

LOTF - where did you offend people??

anon666 · 09/11/2006 16:12

Absolute classic. Well worth browsing this thread. Haven't LOL so much in ages. Thank you LaPauvre.

Believe me, an hour or so would not be enough for the hamster to cook, let alone disappear into the stew.

Brilliant story though.

MascaraOHaraIncredibleSheHulk · 09/11/2006 16:12

PMSL @ Hammy living on the worktop!!

this is MN Genius

LadyOfTheFlowersIs1Baby1Bump · 09/11/2006 16:13

very offensive

LaPauvre · 09/11/2006 16:13

As I said my daughter is crying in the bathroom. Thanks to everyone who thinks this is funny.

How long does it take to cook a hamster then?

if i had a pet tragedy, i wouldn't say that this would be my first port if call. I might share the info later. I would also notice that chickens are not furry and wonder why the chuff there was fur in my casserole

LaPauvre · 09/11/2006 16:14

He doesn't live on the worktop.

So didn't the chicken bones foul up the blender then? Trying to imagine using a blender on something with bones. Kermit springs to mind
