How do you post a large umbrella?

Fab! Thanks ?

Or just wrap it and tape it in a bin bag and stick a label on it, I've sent large items in the post like this before with no problems.

As an aside OB, I found a book today among the kids things called "Old Bear". It has a pic of a bear on the front. Is that where you got your name from?

Interesting, didn’t think you could do this, thanks!

Was it these characters?

If so, yes! I loved it as a child, and I have the whole Royal Doulton collection now too.

Yes it was! I got stupidly excited about it all and the kids gave me one of their looks as if to say "thank god shes not related to us"

?

There’s loads of books, I have pretty much all of them. I also have all the soft toys. I’m still on the hunt for the DVD’s. #Saddo

I'd probably put bubble wrap round it first to protect it - posties aren't the most delicate of people and it might end up getting chucked around a bit
