    Hi

    Apologises if this has been posted already. My computer is on go slow so I cant scroll back through the last few pages to check !

    I was in my local Argos this morning buying other Xmas pressies and thought I would check the stock to see if hammies were in. It came up with no stock for any of the hamster items. When I went to the desk to collect my items, there were loads of hamsters behind the counter. When I asked the lady she said they had had a surprise delivery in this morning. When I questioned the 'out of stock' message, she said they had no intention of updating that and would just sell them in store to customers as add ons to existing orders.

    So, my point is if it shows as oos at your local Argos, it might be worth giving them a ring to check this is the case


    ahhhh this is what i was dreading, okay i can drive there in 5 mins, im due to a prize being delivered, dog will have to recieve it xx thanks for tip xxxxxx

    not full set , don't have slide , wheel or surfboard but am going to leave it at that as think the first two will be impossible to get at rrp.
    Good luck can you not try and persuade your daughter that the ball will be better than the wheel ?
    Im working on it, i think its much better. Its hard as im sure you know when you have a six year old who still thinks santa is magical and all singing and dancing to explain how he cant get the one thing she wrote on her christmas list. Thats all it says mr giggles and his wheel. Im sure on xmas day she wont be as dissapoinnted as i am thinking i bet other toys will distract her but i feel bad.
    Looking forward to new ventures :beer:

    2 separate reservations for 1 hamster (so 2 in total) at St Albans, (the one in the town centre) please PM me for code. I was going to get these for my niece but just found out my sister has some reserved too.
    even though I have finished my hamster hunt, I am still here.... why?? :rotfl:
    Have Mr Squiggles, Numsnums, chunk, pipsqueak, Patches, funhouse, ball, surfboard/sleep dome, skateboard, car, slide, wheel, 1 carrier and 2 homemade beds, need 1 carrier

    children wetting the bed?

  • I went into local wilkos this morning to see if my little chunk was there, but still nothing? Nothing on the shelves either. Also asked in the toy shop, where I was told they had a surprise delivery of a few hamsters this morning but had sold out straight away?
    I am starting to wonder why I am still doing this?
