Try saying it in a scottish (or Irish!) accent - a cow is a coo! (and I'm Irish and hubby is Scottish so we've both heard this one) :rotfl:

(of course, it is more than likely that I'm worng and it means something completely different)

No, you are right! Coo=Cow=Milk!!!

Look what I've started :rotfl:

Hi Squishy! How are you getting on? Is Elena being kind to you and eating and sleeping well?

Fitzio

Morning all! Welcome back Squishy! I was wondering about you the other day. A Scottish meet up is going to be organised sometime so wondered if you were around. Is Elena sleeping at night?

Csh - have you broken FB already? I can't get on!

I miss seeing my Heighland Coos every morning! And I kinda miss hearing the accent too ... Oh well, there are other benefits to having moved back to England

Morning All :hello: Positively balmy here today, only -4, and it was only -1 when I fed Andrew in the middle of the night! I'm wondering how Manchester Council is going to decrease the amount of salt/grit it uses by 25%, as you can't actually reduce ZERO.

I see people are getting organised - I'm a paperwork fiend, just love having lists and filing stuff away, organising budgets etc (I love working in admin!) Bought another filecase last Monday just to get Andrew's stuff organised. Annoyed that we can't claim CWP because we don't claim IS/JSA, due to the MA. I'm impressed by some of your pensions, I'm not contributing (and I'm ancient!) but I've got about 20yrs civil service pension built up. Minimal life cover, so nothing had better happen to me in the short term.

Tigs is CWP- Cold Weather Payment?

On the life cover: Think I'm worth about 450k dead!! I've got a thing about it because my Dad died young and never left much. I've got a pension through work but at the mo don't pay in.

which type of civil service pension tigs?

classic

classic plus

nuvos

partnership

premium

some of them look like they'd pay a good lump sum and an ongoing pension to Harley/andrew...

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Sorry Weezl, I'm sure Harley would be delighted to get Tigs' pension but I think Marley might be a bit miffed!!!

Squishy

Thanks for asking after Elena She's doing well: not yet sleeping through the night, but if I'm lucky I'll have a 4/5 hour stint then she'll be back on her usual 2 hour feeds - during the day she can do anything between wanting to feed every 2 hours to lasting 6 hours if we're in the car! She really is a good baby though, so can't complain: has recently really found her voice so is chittering away and laughing properly

A scottish meet sounds fun - where is it to be? I'm a bit further up north!
