Valentines day! - Page 4 - SV650.org

I'm flying down to Montpellier for the week. Unfortunately it's for work so my wife is quite pleased - she gets to watch her rubbish programmes on the box at home without me complaining...

In my experience, the bigger the bunch of flowers or the box of cholcolates, the greater the guilt!

Try having a family member with a 14th Feb birthday.

Trying to organise a birthday outing is impossible, restaurants are crammed with the guilty or desperate.

We once booked 3 rooms in a Hilton hotel and when we arrived tried to book a table for dinner, sorry the restaurant is full. What even for residents? Yes don't you know it is valentines day!

Had to smuggle in Pizza, wasn't happy and demanded a reduction on the bill as no restaurant service available

How about calling the hospital and asking if one of the nurses could drop her off some chocolates if you posted them to the ward sister. Enclose an extra box for the nurses as a sign of your appreciation...

I bought all my valentines cards last week and didn't even get a bulk discount!

Mr LPH will get a card from my above mentioned selection. We don't do meals or flowers - total waste of money and I'd rather go out on a night when the place isn't packed with either rowing or love struck couples.

But I may have lunch with a very attractive 23 year old. He's one of our former Young Cricketers and is back in London that day so we're going to try and catch up. I'll be like a cross between Barbara Windsor and Joan Collins!

Have to send flowers to the Mrs. at her work.
All the other ladies there get them so wouldn't do to forget.
Bring home the card and the box of chocolates.
Her birthday is a few days later so we go out for dinner then.

Total waste of money I agree but it makes the mrs. happy so a traditional Valentine's day it is then.
