will this be absolutely hideous because its so cheap?

[nailpolish]

we are desperate for a new couch!

having 2 small children i dont want to spend a fortune

what do you think of this

would be ok for a couple of years?

What's a "HEILAND COO", anyway?

i think so too annie

our furniture is very modern and a big squashy couch might look out of place

i like clean lines and bright colours

a highland cow

here

That looks scary. Isn't it some sort of dinosaur or something? [ignorant city-dweller emoticon]

lol nqc they are gorgeous

big wet noses, big brown eyes with loooong lashes, flicking their hair like a supermodel

Hmmm, maybe it's a dragon?

There are dragons on my UK map ... there's zone 2, and then dragons all around it.

those heilan' coos have a VERY strong, serious 'moo' as well.

one scared the beegeezus out of DD1, and now everytime she sees them she says, 'No! I'm frightened of cows.'

how old is dd1 expat? show her how lovely their long eyelashes are when they bat them, how they can stick their tongues up their noses

oh i love highland cows, they are beautiful

see them in all their glory at the highland wildlife park near kingussie

she was 3 in June.

there were some LOVELY ones at Scone Palace, very friendly.

their carer drove up, however, and they recognised him and starting mooing b/c he always gives them treats.

DD1 was standing on the other side of the fence from one and got a moo right at ear level - she's a tall lassie.

she freaked!

try driving through Perthshire with a bairn who's frightened of cows! LOL!

she kept saying, 'they're all away!'

i adore them! i find cows in general quite peaceful.

lol!

i think your dd sounds adorable

cows are peaceful , expat, i agree

there were a few lovely heilan' coos in the family park at dunbar, we went just about a fortnight ago, and she still got nervous when she saw them.

FIL, however, is a born animal-lover, he was stroking them and telling them how lovely they were.

she seemed to get a bit a calmer, but she wouldn't go up to them, the way she did w/all the other animals, including a GORGEOUS stag.

OK,just have a peek at these. I've got one similar to that in top left picture .

I know it's more expensive than you want but mine has been going strong for well over ten years,is very comfy and orange to boot.Looks great in a new house like mine (and yours)

Bugger!

Why does that MN bit come in???

i would just wait and keep auld, minging couch till they get older.

and buy a cover for it.

we have a lovely one from LaRedoute.
