Just realised it's Valentine's day soon. Thinking about taking dh away for a few days as a surprise and getting him a few thoughtful gifts.

What do you have planned?

We went away last Weekend so for valentines we are just going out for dinner and doing cards.

I'm hoping for flowers tho 😜

Starrynightz · 01/02/2023 20:05

@Loafbeginsat60 aww lovely. Did you go anywhere nice? Looking for inspiration Grin
Dinner and cards sound fab. Will keep my fingers crossed for you that a big bunch of flowers comes your way.

It’s our first valentines (was very early stages of dating last year) and he’s booked a fancy restaurant and a hotel. All very unexpected but exciting!

TheShellBeach · 01/02/2023 21:30

Absolutely nothing at all.
Just the same as always.
It's commercialized shit.

Since having kids we always go all together for a romantic family dinner to Pizza express.. bring on the heart shaped dough balls Smile

PennyToffee · 01/02/2023 21:34

Nothing.

AuntieMarys · 01/02/2023 21:35

Every day is Valentine's day in our house

MaverickGooseGoose · 01/02/2023 21:38

Nothing, I'm in the commercialised shit camp and I'm not paying an extra £20 ph for a set menu because it's Valentine's Day!

JooftheNorth · 01/02/2023 21:52

DH said we should celebrate because we are sex starved.
I'm not going to over analyse this statement 😂

Ragwort · 01/02/2023 21:54

Will have a nice meal and champagne Prosecco at home. After years in hospitality I would never go out for a meal on any 'special' occasion.

DappledThings · 01/02/2023 21:54

DS's 7th birthday!

Although even if it wasn't I doubt we'd do anything other than exchange cards. It's always pretty cringe to me.

PhoebeBridger · 01/02/2023 21:56

Cards and a takeaway! It’s commercial but I still like to acknowledge it and make a little bit more effort!

LoveBluey · 01/02/2023 21:58

Nope we never do anything for valentines. It's in half term so we'll be in a UK holiday park with the kids!

Yes the Isle of Eriska Spa Hotel near Oban. It's lovely.

Greensleevevssnotnose · 01/02/2023 22:00

It's a load of commercial bollocks. No thank you

How lovely!! Enjoy 😊

Peridot1 · 01/02/2023 22:02

Yes! And I can’t wait! I’m flying to Australia for a month to see my best friend and leaving DH at home. It’s my Valentines gift to him.

Starrynightz · 01/02/2023 22:35
