We're not doing gifts this year.

Going out Wednesday night together. No one to babysit tonight, besides, it'll be crowded and the single waitresses might spit in my food.

Me neither. Not fussed, I know that we love each other don't need material goods to tell me so.

If he doesnt come home with a box of Lindor, I will go fucking nuts (Although that also stands for most days of the year)

I've got nothing and am unlikely to, despite giving him a son last week...I'm still waiting for flowers for that!

I'm seriously pissed off, although not as fed up as when he bought me a wiper blade Angry

I did holiday work at a rose farm as a student, and they used to "stock up" on cut roses in advance (in cooler rooms), which were then delivered to florists just before Valentines. I've convinced myself that that is why bouquets sent at Valentines last so much shorter than any others. After the first couple of Valentines with my dh (then DP), we've got an understanding: I love receiving flowers, but any other time than mid Feb.

I got six roses. SIX! Who the fuck buys six roses!? That is half a bunch of roses!

I know we're slightly skint, but that didn't stop him spending plenty of money on his car last week.

If there had been no roses, I could have accepted that it's all commercialised hype, hoped for some another day, convinced myself that real men know V day's a con etc etc.

It's just insulting! And I can't say anything because obviously that would be ungrateful and wrong, which I why I'm taking this opportunity to complain with you.

Feel better now, thanks for that.

DP is coming home 30 mins later than usual. Hes up to something and it'd better be Lindor related!!!

Gemsy83 - the difference between your post and Mammie81 is that hers actually sounds tongue in cheek.

You were having a proper strop about it Wink

I'm not that interested in flowers. Anyone can buy them

You have got something that the others don't - more money because they have all been conned out of £50 or so for poor quality flowers.
