So what do you all think of it? Anyone doing anything special? Or are you like me and think its all commercialised?

I personally think its a waste of time and money because if you love someone, you dont need to "prove" your love for them by doing elaborate gestures on a specific day of the year. You should show your love and appreciation for them by doing small & simple things throughout the year. For example, matt sometimes comes home from uni with a bar of galaxy chocolate (which is my fave

) and i think its really nice and thoughtful and lovely

Its just my opinion anyhoo..!

gah, if Im Indoors got all romantic for v day I'd think he was ill, had been hit on the head by a brick(which I've thought about doing myself lately) or had won the lottery and not told me......

valentines day....only men in fairy tales remember it don't they? The usual caveman type always forgets!

She gets a card and some flowers.

Then again, there are always flowers in the house.

Meh...

It's only commericalised if you buy in to that side of it, you can still be extra romantic on Valetines Day. I do buy a card and choccies but its not the gifts that count........is it?

My missus hates it.. We get each other little things all the time anyway, and spending time together is what counts when we get so little of it

DizzyB, does that mean you chose a caveman type! To be honest, I do eat half the chocolates (not before I give them to her!) but I think I would get a hard time if I forgot a card! I also have to buy the daughter one or she feels left out, am I setting her up for a fall later in life?
