    We had a lengthy conversation, talked about Wilbur's taste in music and how he would like it in my house. Alas no cuddly Wilbur was offered :(

    I was in no way subtle in my hinting! like 'I would really like a Wilbur to cuddle' and when we talked about his taste in music that he would really like the music we play here.

    £44+ OMG, that's crazy! - just had a look on ebay, are people just asking for one to sell? I wanted one to cuddle! hehe I've just looked up the Nestle cow toy I won my sister last year and it's on there.

    I wanted one for my little girl, she is obsessed with cuddlies and wanted to put it in her after operation book of things she can play with quietly and from bed.

    I asked them if I could buy one but no response.

    I'm with British gas for both eleccy and gas so might ring them and ask them.

    When did you tweet them? they are a bit slow in responding (I contacted them on Friday and was only offered one today) they say things like, that they aren't for sale but could you give him a good home? have a little conversation about who you want it for. then they make the offer.

    I think this thread will specifically have encouraged people to ask for one to sell - when it was the primary focus on the opening post.

    It inspired me to ask - and be offered one. Not to sell though, i think my little niece would hate me for ever if she never got her Wilbur.
