[jacksparrow]

The trouble with valentines day and buying flowers etc is that the price of them is hiked up so much.....

Congratulations for Tuesday Sue. Our wedding anniversary is also the 12th, of September. This year it'll be 43!

I'm Allergic to Flora and Fauna and I don't like chocolate so I'm happy to give Valentine a wide berth. I'm sure my hubby loves me all year round (Most of the time anyway)

Is Flora aware of this?

[The Invigilator]

Ours won't be romantic but will be lovely as Valentines Day is also my lovely mum's birthday so we will be seeing her.

What a coincidence, Valentines Day was my mum's birthday too so it was expensive if we wanted to buy her flowers ... my daughter's birthday is the day before, 13th Feb

Well we are pushing the boat out and going to The Waterside Inn at Bray (patron Alain Roux son of Michel Roux, 3 Micheline Stars) for an overnight stay and dinner. Need cheering up, found out day before last the purchase on a house has fallen through, so we are back to square one.

Mind you when Popeye the sailorman sees the size of the bill, I dont think he will be cheery

I trust we will be getting a full, detailed report, cornmillgirl, including prices and gratuities. We've not had anything like that for ages.

mmm can't believe how much flowers are hiked for the 14th. Feb and for Mother's Day too, but luckily Mumsy dosn't like to have cut flowers in the house - bizarre I know and have never really got to the bottom of it, but she does like to have artificial flowers. For me I love them especially daffodils and my boys always give me a huge bunch on my birthday which is the same day as Mother's Day this year. Obviously I can't be expected to celebrate 2 days in one so will expect a huge amount of spoilage for the entire weekend

Hyacinths in a pot then. The blue ones seem to have the strongest scent, and when they're finished you can plant them in the garden.

[Romig1]

Even better Bob...get the bulb growing kit from the Poundshop!

[melsea]

Nothing as you get worse service on Valentines day so we usually celebrate the next day but now we celebrate our wedding anniversary on the 15th now 2 years next week. You may remember we got married on Aurora in the South Pacific.

Congratulations Mel. It doesn't seem like 2 minutes, never mind 2 years.

Wine, chocolate, and a movie. And since I'm single I don't have to share the chocolate or the wine, and I can watch the girliest movie I want!:)

nothing
as it is an event made up by card companies to sell more cards and has no meaning
why wait for one day a year to do something nice for your other half, it should not need a card company to tell you to appreciate you other half, they should know you love them and empty gestures one day a year really don't mean owt

You do sound a bundle of fun old chap

[Dark Knight]

gfw
just coz I am not taken in by a marketing ploy from Hallmark cards does not make me miserable
perhaps it means I have more sense than some people who think a fake outpouring of sentiment one day a year makes up for the lack of affection and love for their wives, for the rest of the year

my wife does not need some made up dross to know she is loved and respected, perhaps other wives fall for the hype but luckily my wife has a brain and is not a dupe for card companies and knows what fake means

Dear Darknightie,

Why not buy your good lady a mask (for you to wear) as I am sure that would make her less miserable.

[Dark Knight]

dear fat old fossil from ULL
it is easier to turn the lights out

[Admiral of the Humber]

awww! Darknightie you are a romantic old sausage.

[Dark Knight]

some of us are young and fit enough to have some romance left in us, without the need of a err chemical assistant
some just play from memory

[Boris+]

A chemical assistant ????? I do hope you aren't hinting about Boots!

Em

[Admiral of the Humber]

My dear Darknightie,

Mrs AOTH is all the romantic stimulant I will ever need!

and i have now lost my appetite

and quite possibly my breakfast

[cornmillgirl]

Me and Popeye sacked giving each other a card donkey years ago, after we got married. We show our affection and
have many romantic meals out all year round. Each to their own though, some people, like my best friend and husband
exchange very slushy valentines cards every year because she loves it.
