I think this week will be tough in shops as people are now hyped up thinking this is the last lot in before christmas.

Some tips for hitting the shops.

1. Eat a good breakfast to keep your enery level up as you may not be stopping for lunch!

2. Take some Rescue Remedy with you in case you get too stressed.

3. Arrange for young children to be left with family/friends/babysitter so that you are not hindered by them asking silly questions such as, "I'm hungry and thirsty", "My nappy needs changing" and "Mummy, I don't really want a hamster for christmas!". Remember you are on a serious mission.

4. Be fully prepared to speak loudly or indeed shout. Rehearse phrases such as, "Take those 17 Num Nums out of your basket NOW!", "I SAW CHUNK FIRST, GET YOUR GREEDY MITTS OFF OF HIM" and of course if you spy the store manager "Helloooo Sweetie, my you don't see many managers as handsome as you. Wow Has anyone told you how much you look like George Clooney/Brad Pitt/David Beckham?".

5. Be prepared to compromise your morals and your marriage by offering personal services to aforementioned store manager in return for Go Go hamster stock.

6. Keep your cash and cards in a bum bag and leave your handbag at home, you will need both hands free for pushing and shoving any shoppers out of the way and for grabbing Mr Squiggles when you spot him on the shelf.

7. Turn off your mobile phone. Sick children at school will not be neglected, children are remarkably hardy you know. You will see your husband when you get home and besides he shouldn't be using the office phone to call you, anyway. You need to concentrate and don't need the distraction of a phone!

8. Comfy shoes please. Or winkle pickers that will deliver a good kick to the woman in front who just grabbed the last Chunk. As she yelps in pain and drops Chunk it would only be polite of you to pick Chunk up. And run off with him to the till damn quick.

9. Get in touch with your sat nav service provider and ask if they can change their speed camera warning to one that links up with Go Go Hamster Stock checker so that you can immediately do a hand break turn in the middle of the high street and head off to a store that has just got some more stock in.

10. Cheat. As you enter a shop behind a gaggle of shoppers heading off for the toy aisle, suddenly shriek at the top of your voice, "OMG they've put all the go go hamsters over in the drinks aisle HALF PRICE", sidestep the stampede and then saunter over to the toy aisle to get what you want.

Good luck tomorrow ladies (and gents) I wish you well on your mission to Go Go Hamster Go!

another good idea for distracting the competition would be to dress your small kids up in hamster costumes and run around the store it would be like dangling a carrot in front of a donkey lol

I just had to laugh at a newly listed Mr Squiggles on ebay described as rare.
There are also 245 other Mr Squiggles on there too!
