Valentines day!

So it's almost upon us! Just curious as to what you guys are doing for/with your partners? I know you're all a bunch of romantics here, so this thread should be a hit...

My girlfriend isn't going to be with me this year she's about 150mile away to be closer to her Grandad who is very ill in hospital at the moment. I was just going to send her up a card and maybe some chocs or something. Bit boring, but I'll take her out when she gets back, maybe for a meal. (providing the drive-thru que isn't too long )

its been banned in this house, if only there was a bah humbug expression for this carp too

It's a Clintons Holiday, exploited to make money for card manufacturers.

There is, its called "I'm going to the pub, c ya later"

We are skint so have decided to spend nothing on one another this year.
It has been clearly explained that neither of us are to craft anything nor pen any ditties either (Sarah is not creative and hates having to do that kind of thing).
I know this sounds un-romantic and boring but this was not my decision.

In years gone by I have written Sarah poems & carved them into a squirrel feeder I made, convinced the local pizza parlor to make a heart shaped pizza and write I love you in pepperoni as well as the leaving clues leading to gifts which lead to clues which lead to other gifts bit (to name but a few).

Now I have been caught in the 'let's not buy each other presents' trap before but as we are so skint this month that I spent the day in the house freezing my bits off (no coal until Tuesday) i think she's not pulling my leg.

I'm taking my wife somewhere very special .................



















Up the rrrs

That's fair enough mate, hard times.

I do agree it's a big money maker thing but girls seem to love it and if you don't get them anything they'll no doubt get arsey, it's just easier to go along with it. I also think it's less important when you're married.

You could just turn up un-announced. You'll get bonus points when really you've just done it for the 150 mile ride.

If after 40 years she doesn't know if have wasted a lot of time

we are going to see circus of horrors, not on valentines day, but that will be our prezzy to each other, may get a card as well, lol.
