BeckyBoo Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 .....not a stick of rock, not a diamond ring, nothing romantic but a pair of oven gloves with Portugese cockerels on. Who says romance is dead? Mrs Bertie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll pay you for it and collect! Phil just came back from an art exhibition and apparently one of the exhibitors had some ceramic sculptures of... you guessed it... poultry. He said 'I've seen just the thing for you... a big cockerel!' I wasn't really sure how to take that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 except that he didn't use the full word if you get my drift! I couldn't resist the spotty piggies My vet now has an incubator full of fluffy chicks waiting to go in the brooder.. Rosie was glued to the incy door while we were there He said that he's never seen her so quiet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronze Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Fantastic. Shows hubby cares about what you like wish OH would buy me practical presents for a change! Its our anniversary on sunday. We agreed we wouldnt buy present for each other as we are broke but mil kicked off at him (she thinks he should be more generous to me lovely mil) so he got me something I wanted and we agreed I would tell her he had got something I wanted and that I wasnt going to say. we would hope she would assume it was something a bit naughty. It was in fact a new potato masher as the dogs just chewed up our old one ( at least it wasnt a spatula she would get odd ideas if she found out later) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
