Not long to the Christmas show now which is always good fun Is anyone going?

[Petite1]

Wish there was a show on or near the Wirral, every one is too far to get to

[Kissa]

After not going to the last two shows I said I would go to, I'm going to try to make this one

[Kissa]

How many people from the forums are going? I am still planning on going but would like to meet up with some not-total-strangers. (I'm basically having a really rubbish week, and the more rubbish I feel, the harder I find it to talk to new people )

[souffle]

I'll be there Come up and introduce yourself Are you bringing a hammy?

[Kissa]

Going to be bringing Annie with me, I think

[Kissa]

So, I'm getting Annie's carrier set up. I've put in this huge pile of ripped up kitchen roll and loo roll, and some aubiose, and I'm still worrying she'll be cold. Kind of wish I'd gone to Wilkos earlier, actually, and got a bag of their jay-cloth bedding Also some food and a piece of veg for water will go in tomorrow (and probably more bits of veg in my handbag just in case!). Is that all I need? Should I put something from her cage, like her little hollowed out coconut thing, for something familiar?

I am bizarrely nervous

[lisab]

I am going
I am looking forward for a cuppa and a chat

[shiny]

Too far for me today but am hoping to get to a show in the new year to say hello to people & see all your lovely hamsters in real life, not just in photos . Will have to stay away from sales table though...

Looking forward to seeing photos of this show, hope you guys have a great day
