For once I am going to have to defend TM, and her bird knowledge prowess.
It is indeed a Siberian blue robin.

Well done TM. :T

I remember in the 70's our Christmas tree was blue and had 2 blue robins like that at the top.

I was mortified at the time. :eek:
Looking back it was very creative on mums part.

Q'd for 30 mins behind 2 people at Sains, 1st had a stack of about 100 receipts going back 6 months that they wanted the nectar points added, second wanted to do a double up and the system wasn't working for swipe old style cards and there seemed to be a work-around using a new card.

Then my turn and I got the trout - gave DW card and got the 200, gave mine, she looked at the balance and said 'this is the same account, can't do you any more vouchers'. Annoying, had DD with me, could have given her the second card and no one would have noticed.

So £100 exchanged, £700 to go then 8 x 200+ a little purchases and returns to do - it is hard work this money saving lark.

Have you photoshopped that?

Or am I right?

I think I'm right!

Here's me thinking it was a baby puffin. Unsure if puffins can fly or whether they are just walking birds:rotfl:

Di will know and izzy65 and WMC. And all the other naturists

Baby puffin



Puffins can fly but have short, stubby little wings that are better suited for swimming and diving. Puffins have the nickname “bubble bee birds” because their wings are so short.

Morning everyone.

I lost my dad on Saturday, have been stopping with my mum since, so much to sort out.

I will be back xxx

Thinking of you snap. JTS, hope you are ok

So sorry to for your loss Sarah, there are no words that can ease the pain of losing a parent. But as always time is the greatest healer so take plenty and look after yourself. RIP Sarah's Dad :A

Are peeps doubling up with all their points?

I often wonder if it will be the last one so think I should make the best of it. Then the saver in me kicks in and I feel I should keep some until next year.

Wondering what to do:think::think::think:

I think I missed your news while I was on Grandparent duty Hornetgirl, so pleased there was nothing sinister found. You must be so relieved as I am for you too. xx

I put everything in the washer before I went to work this morning. Leaving mr TM to sort it out.

He thought it would need another spin. He then put everything out to dry. It all aired over the radiators tonight.

Just checked and it hasn't even been washed:rotfl:

I forgot to even turn the washer on:rotfl:

Scamps I've always wondered what you look like. :rotfl:

If you can double them up now, why wait just incase they dont repeat it?

Think I'm probably the only person here without any robins
