OK, here's the plan. My husband, a train driver who gets free travel, is going to collect the little bud on Thursday. Why didn't I think of this before I hear you ask. Well I did but if I had asked him directly he would have protested and said he doesn't want to spend his day off on the train. So, knowing he will do anything for me eventually, I played it cool. Told him about the poor disabled bud and left it at that. I then searched for couriers, which I would have used had they been reasonable, and told hubby what I was doing. I then told him the cost and he said, "I could go up on the train for free, don't waste your money on that". So, there you are, how to manipulate your husband so he thinks it's his idea and he feels good for making me happy. Win win all the way. Is that a little bit naughty?

Well it is a train drivers holiday. Let's hope he doesn't read the forum then.

Starlingqueen, your husband is a saint. His heart is almost as big as yours. Lucky little budgie to join your family. He is a good man. He puts up with all my pets so he must be. He once travelled 9 hours by train to buy a conure for my anniversary present. I couldn't wish for better. He does housework too.

Brilliant that is just how I play it, it had to be their idea, firmly planted in a roundabout sort of way by s! Love it. My oh has said it is just a typical woman
