Afternoon all,
Wow! Looks like I missed a lot of excitement today.

I went to TRU this morning and got the 1 remaining missing hammy for my sister so we both have all 4 now TRU Tamworth did exactly as they told me on the phone 1 hamster per person doesn't matter if you need 2,3 or 4 to complete the set.. A little bonkers if you ask me.. Why not one of each per person. There was nothing else only hammy's & I spoke to the same manager lady that I spoke to the other day about whether they are getting accessories and was told the may have some in the morning but the usual story of they won't know what untill it arrives... May be just hammy's again. I popped into ASDA over the rd and the shelf was empty I asked the assistant if they had any an she said they had quite a bit this morning but 1 man came at 7:15 and had the lot.

Wilko's around near me had no deliveries at all.

JL Took the money for my 2 hammies so i'll have two spare

Sister gone in huff over hamster hunt. I've done all the searching and hunting for weeks, she decides she wants one on Wednesday night! I have managed to get one of 2 that daughter wants, plus another from JL. She gone in huff cause I wont give her Mr Squiggles until JL order arrives cause she wants it. Am I being ridicolous for not giving her one?

Not at all. I would say she's being a tad ungrateful and obviously doesn't realise the effort this hamster hunting takes :rotfl:

Hi Folks,

Just a quick reminder that MoneySavingExpert forum does not allow selling of items.

This includes linking to your eBay board as a way to circumvent this.

No - Some poeple been searching for weeks and still not got what they want. Suddenly there are new bods after the "must have" toys, when we have all been after them too for ages! I'd wait till my order came too... Don't beat yourself up about it. Hopefully your order will come and you can give her one of yours.

I know I'll be watching Children in Need tonight and thinking this hamster frenzy is insignificant really...... xxx

Thanks just wanted to check.
Her kids always get the number one toy regardless of whether they ask fot it or not and I always end up looking for the damned things.
Didnt dare tell her I got car and garage and wheel too! lol

So true there - Children In Need will put a lot of this into perspective, of course we all want the latest must have toy for our little treasures, but being reminded tonight that there are children without even basics as shoes, food and clothes may just make me stop hunting and give the money to them instead.

hi all, I am new to this, but have been following the messages since last night. I have been hunting all day, managed to get as far as checkout on TRU 4 times, but still nothing..... I then decided to take a trip to the nearest TRU, 2 tescos and a sainsburys - all with no success.

I do have the option of braving the cold and wet early tomorrow morning at TRU - but how early would I need to get there?! Dont want to look an idiot getting there at 6-7am if im the only one, and alternatively, will that be too late?!

TRU say only hamsters being delivered tomorrow - no accessories, but as I am yet to get a single go go item, I think i need to brave it dont i!!!

i got to my toysrus in exeter at 6.30 this morning there was only one other bloke there waiting, most people started to show at 7.50 am and then the rest showed up at 9am but if your going 2morrow people dont have to drop their kids off at school so they might be there earlier, i spose it also matters where you live have they had any in stock in your local shops? the person handing out the tickets this morning was surprise there werent more people queing up and they seemed to think that people would be camping over night to get them ,i would say by 9am there was about 30 people in the que i was at the front,there was only 9 house available and these were given to the first nine in the que so depends what your after there was about 70 hamsters available
