It's a load of Twaddle - Rip Off Day I call it. Why do you need "one day" to tell your loved one that you love them. I tell my other half every day :lol:

We dont normally ever do anythng for valentines day. Well once I did cook a meal but he worked late and it was spoilt :roll:
My youngest has a card to give her friend for a laugh. My husband was saying about it and I said what i had seen on tv people buying all sorts for the day and how silly it was!
Next thing he came in and gave me some perfume! :oops: But said it was ok because its still the 13th! :lol:
I did feel awfull. :oops:
did was the word! The rugby must have been so exhausting hes now asleep! :lol:

Agree BC Wench , I don't think you need a special day and it is a Rip Off, florist shop had bunches of Roses for sale at £39.99 :shock: well that is what I call a Rip Off.
No I won't be sending a card ,I know I'm a skin flint . :roll:

I tell my wife contantly how much I love her. I do not need a special day to remind me to do so.

It was usefull for getting nookies when I was younger so I still have affection for it :)

I made an origami heart out of red paper, containing a heart shaped sweet....left it where my valentine would find it in the morning.
Was woken at 9:30 to breakfast and a bunch of red roses.
I think Valentine's day is great :-)

I like!

I love special days of any sort. We don't have to spend much money, but it's good to celebrate as much and as often as possible ... We'll be a long time dead.
Some mistakes are too much fun
to only make once.
