Corrie, Boring Ken

[Caribeing]

Poor old Ken living up to his reputation of being boring has bought Deirdre an oven and a book for her 60th birthday! (R.I.P Anne Kirkbride)

I once got 2 frying pans for Christmas!

talbot - I hope you slapped them in the front and back of the head.

This is what I mean - presents mean nothing no more - my attitude is if you want or need anything at all - BUY it yourself.

I know I have bought some lovely things and they never ever have been worn and I am worn out trying to get things for people - also years ago people loved to get money - not now - they have got their benefits.

Ken's intentions are good he wants to make up for the unwobbly jelly incident and Deirdre's love of stuffed marrows a new oven cooks clean!

my worst present from my hubby once was a pair of oven gloves. a pvc shopping bag and some plastic kitchen scales.
he wondered why i wasnt thrilled!

I got a Terry's chocolate orange for my 50th, he knows I loathe them too! For my 60th, he managed a digital SLR though, so he can learn when he wants. As far a Corrie though, this is the kind of humour they do well, especially when Carla suggested new oven gloves too and he agreed.

And Deirdre doesn't read books either !

My most boring present was a bird feeder from an ex, because he knew I like feeding the wild birds !

I'd love a new oven for any birthday present!

netibiza - BUY it for yourself
