    I have to say in a fit of being ME-brain I put British t*ts into google. :eek: :eek: :eek: My only excuse is that I'd already checked British finches. :o Fortunately changing the search to british birds t*ts brought up the requisite pages, but for a moment before I hit Search I wondered if google would take birds as being girls as in slang! <roll eyes smiley>

    I think it might be a Blue Tit or a Great Tit. I'll try and get a closer look, now I know what it might be.

    If it's about robin size I'd be inclined to go for Great Tit. At this time of year the males will have a broad black stripe going down their tummies. I think the width of stripe is an indication of how good they are as mating material to the females. Blue Tits are also a possible, but they are much smaller than robins.

    Josh smashed the interview at Northampton, they offered him a place at the end of the interview.
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    There's a little bird that's been around in our garden for a few days now.

    Or find a courier company that will do next day for a couple of quid or even free with an intro offer. The best ones are the ones where you drop off at a collection point (local shop) so you don't have to wait in for the collection, saves you time and is cheaper.

    MyHermes ParcelShop if you can drop it off today or UPS Access point should do it.
    I think....

    ......

    Oh Pastures, big hugs. If it were me I'd just send it off tomorrow. Odds are it might well not have arrived on The Day anyway. Post is carp these days - I'm still waiting for my end of Dec bank statement to arrive, though have had end of Jan one (thank G*d). I've had other stuff go missing too, so if stuff is just a day or 2 late that's nothing.

    Best wishes to you from Liverpool, as ever.

    So far spent £2 on a box I'm not now using and £2 on the brown paper.

    Is there a reason you couldn't have parcel-taped up the original box?

    If you don't end up couriering it, I'd be tempted to get to the post office earlyish (before, say 10am) and post it recorded post, 1st class. Cheaper than special delivery, but should be picked up by Postperson Pat around lunchtime so more likely to arrive the next day.

    Non-invasive hugs. Sounds like there is a lot going on at the moment.

    I'd have had to have bought some - and it didn't look like the shop sold that either.

    Fair enough.

    They need some business advice! (assuming that was the shop with the post office counter)

    I came home to see a note through our letterbox that a parcel of kitchen shelves had been left behind our side garden gate. Which is tall and locked.

    Picked up the item which was just casually dropped from a height onto our garden path. Badly cracked it was. Trying to get DW interested in a refund or replacement but as the cracks aren't visible from the front, she's tempted to keep it.

    It's the kind of thing you see on youtube videos but it's galling when it happens in real life. :mad:
