Dd has decided she wants one this week.
Typically after i saw some in tesco couple of weeks ago.
I now realise they are out of stock almost everywhere.
Am going insane looking for them.

Thought a 'hamster support' thread may help

Did you see the tip for Hooray too ?
Put something small in your basket so your address details are already in when they list the house.
My bet is for x factor time or late like last night.

The houses are in stock at Hooray now!!!!

Only order one, if you order more than that they delete your order.

Good luck!

bah, missed the house

Tortoise · 21/11/2009 21:18

Another MSE lurker here too.
Tried to get on Ebay tonight but failing. Getting to the point where i can't be bothered anymore.
I haven't even managed to buy 1 hamster let alone any bits to go with it!

Plus DD1 has been a pain in the butt today so i don't feel she deserves a hamster!

QOD · 21/11/2009 21:41

i can't get on ebay and only got 41p credit on my mobile LOL

Tortoise · 21/11/2009 21:56

I still can't get on.
Seems that some sellers are saying they won't send them. Serves them right for trying to rip people off!!

QOD · 21/11/2009 22:49

I got pipsqueak for £13.50 wohoo - will see if its honoured - try going into ebay under

mobile.ebay.co.uk

Tortoise - did you get anything yet?

I GOT TWO HAMSTERS TODAY AT TRU!

We were there at 9.15 - started actually queuing at 9.20 LOL and we were 3rd & 4th in queue - they gave out tickets - no ticket, no hammie! We then got "fed" thru the store to the hamster bit & a man exchanged ticket for hammie. By the time they opened at 10.30 there were 40 odd in the queue - with about 10 unhappy punters.

Tortoise · 22/11/2009 15:21

QOD Nope nothing yet. Main problem being that Exeter is my closest TRU and that is over an hour away by train!! I keep checking TRU online because i have money in paypal to use.

Also i don't drive so can't get to local tesco/asda at any point without 15 min train ride!

Tortoise · 22/11/2009 15:22

Meant to add, glad you had some luck today .

NightShoe · 22/11/2009 16:17

5 lonely Chunks in Cribbs Causeway TRU, poor Chunk. I seem to attract hamsters....

Tortise, I'm in Exeter, TRU not far and I seem to have knack for hamster spotting, if you tell me which one you are after I will happily keep an eye out for you.

QOD · 22/11/2009 16:28

Tortoise - I don't have "cat" facility but I want you to email me...........or me email you!
but I don't want to post my email addy!

How can we do this?

Well done on getting more QOD , have had day off today.
Wonder if all those who bought off ebay last night will have them honoured ?
Am sure Character will list tom Tort

There are meant to be more houses going on sale at hoooryfortoys tonight. It is meant to be a bit later than the 6.30 they were online last night.

newkiwi · 22/11/2009 18:48

Can anyone point me to the right place on MSE? I'm in NZ and looking for one for my niece so limited to internet shopping.... Thanks

QOD · 22/11/2009 19:08

the thread is linked at the beginning of this one - its up to page 633 now LOL

Tortoise · 22/11/2009 19:14

QOD That would be great and very kind of you My email is [email protected]
Not worried about which one really but not so keen on the look of chunk! Thank you.

Tortoise · 22/11/2009 19:15

Lily Character don't take paypal though do they? Really need it to be a site which takes paypal payments.

Ah don't know , you setting a hard task for yourself there

OP posts:
Tortoise · 22/11/2009 19:41

Probably! But as my credit card is a PAYG card, i need to top it up before i can use it plus they take fees for payments! And top ups if i don't do it in Barcleys bank. Takes a week to go onto the card if done in Barcleys.
DD1 has lots of other bits so i am not going to stress too much if i don't get anything.
