I would very much like to attend this one again now I am up and running on my own set of wheels! Which also means no moaning pain up the bum of a boyfriend

Hopefuly I will have the day off work, I will drop hints to my manager tomorrow. I will know by friday!

Does anyone know if anything will be on sale? I'm desperate for a new hamster cage due to Rhys the Syrian chewing threw his

Hope to see you there Katzilla. There are not normally any cages for sale at shows unless members brings along cages they do not need anymore I'm afraid. If you are looking for a hamster you could e mail the sales manager to enquire what is booked in.
If you want to enter the main show entries need to be in by Thursday but pets can be entered on the day.
Please say hi to us.

I do hope I can make it!! I won't be entering any shows, I might bring Rhys to show him off and to enter him into Pets. Will there be a tube race again? I'll have to train him up ready (que montage accompnied by 'the eye of the tiger' lol) I would love to buy another hamster, I doubt the OH would be impressed though. Saying that, If I don't say anything he probably wouldn't notice one more cage

nooboo · 11-11-2008, 07:03 PM

Nooboo, we have met before you moo lol! You sexed my robos for me in Lymm last time? I was the hungover one lol!

Rhys wanted a Cambridge and couldn't wait so I had to order it this morning

My OH would seriously kill me if I got another hamster. We took in loads of unwanted robos which have kind of taken over the flat, we're still looking for good homes for them all.
