I still laugh myself when I tell people the story...."the frantic failings of a mom!" <BR/>sure glad I didn't totally freak and just leave it in the fridge: next person to make coffee would have gotten a shock.<BR/>love all the words that are used differently 'cross the pond: here a "bog" is like a swamp, so "bog-roll" would end up in a swamp....I think it's a fitting description.airplanejaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14323680107166886987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11824913.post-1114787412790604182005-04-29T08:10:00.000-07:002005-04-29T08:10:00.000-07:00We had a lodger once who had a hamster.

Bloody thing would keep us awake at night running around its wheel (the hamster, not the lodger!)When the hamster died our lodger, Robin, didn't know what to do with it (we had a top-floor flat so no garden for burials)so he KEPT IT IN HIS DRESSING-GOWN POCKET...for a COUPLE OF WEEKS.<BR/>(I think it was wrapped in bog-roll...sorry TP...but wasn't going to check!)<BR/>Eventually he flushed it down the toilet. <BR/>So, all things considered, I think you handled the situation very nicely, APj!Lellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03083170416210777590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11824913.post-1114534760097826012005-04-26T09:59:00.000-07:002005-04-26T09:59:00.000-07:00Good story, APG.
