I *think* I've won a Go-Go Hamster

It must be a competition prize, as I definitely haven't ordered one! :confused:

Just had a package delivered and it's a Zhu-Zhu Pet - is that a Go-Go Hamster? I've no idea - but it's come from Argos, according to the packaging.

Just got to decide what to do with it now. It's too late to offer it to anyone on Freecycle, and I think my children (ages 21, 18 and 17) will be a bit unappreciative if I hand it to one of them.

I suppose this is the chance you take with entering competitions where you don't *really* want the prize - you end up with stuff you *really* have no use for. Oh how darned ungrateful, but when I think of all the competitions I've entered for stuff that I really *do* want (which is all I do now - this one must have slipped through the net!) and get nowhere . . . :rotfl::rotfl:

Can anyone tell me how I can search here to find out if it's a comp win please, because I'd like to thank the person who posted the competition details. (I'm sure it must be, because I definitely haven't ordered it, and there's no delivery note in the package.)

    Well done! :j If you go on competitions thread and then on 'search this thread' just key in go-go hamster and it should come up with some comps. I know there were a few as I entered some so it probably is a win. Congrats!
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!

    Awww - I really am rubbish at searching, and I can't find any comps that I've clicked the thanks button for.

    Anyway - a big thank you to whoever it was that posted details of whatever competition it is that I've won.

    And I *think* this may be the first time I've ever posted on this board :rotfl::rotfl:

    If you live near me I would love it - there is a go go hamster thread as they really are a sought after pressie and people have been crazy trying to get one - If you put it on freecycle pretty sure someone would pick it up this evening - or have you any young kids near you?

    :dance:Carry on Comping :dance:
