The up tenth message from the same person on facebook. Followed by a rant that miserable single people shouldn't ruin it for loved up couples as it's not their day to ruin. It's not commercialism but a day for real loveeeeeeeeee.

I feel I can slightly breath now I have logged in to Mumsnet. haha

He got me chocolates and a card. The chocs went straight in the bin as I am on a diet. Thoughtless twat. Does that make you feel better OP? Grin

RufusTheReindeer · 14/02/2014 15:59

Daughter got a hand made card (awww)

Her Friend who is staying over got chocolate, a bear and card (awwwww)

I did explain to dd that when her friend was all alone and living with her cats that she could ring up and take the piss

And then I said I didn't get any cards when I was young and look at me now.... Hmm

WitchWay · 14/02/2014 15:59

Card, champagne & chocs here, the usual trio from DH. I like chocolates but hardly ever eat them - he'll help I expect - I'm not on a diet, I just don't want to be on a diet Grin

Why are you all Facebook friends with people you don't like?

Handsfullandlovingit · 14/02/2014 16:02

Mine was in Paris yesterday and arrived home last night declaring I didn't get you anything, I didn't see the point. I might have a bonfire with the lovingly original handmade card I slaved over. Even if he got the hint this morning when nothing happened, it will take a miracle for him to pull it back. This is something I won't be putting on Facebook...

Punkatheart · 14/02/2014 16:07

No one loves me. But I won a leather heart-shaped keyring and some champagne. Also my Cadbury's chocolate eggs from Mumsnet arrived today. So I am OK. Ish.

SolidGoldBrass · 14/02/2014 16:07

I'm glad of my FB friends, who are currently competing to find the most revolting, hilarious, unsuitable stuff to post on Vday. SO far there have been suggestions of gifts including fart-reducing pants and a funeral plan, and various horror film personal ads...
The only 'traditional' aww-look-what-I-got status was from SIL but I'll let her off...

EEatingSoupForLunch · 14/02/2014 16:09

Ubik1 are you my DH?

Punkatheart · 14/02/2014 16:11

Well said, Joni. My partner left me because I was ill, while gabbling 'It's not because you are sick.' (Clearly the first thing on his mind - so it was). That was anti-love. Yes, I think love is a deep understanding, respect and interest in another person. I am sad not to be loved by a member of the opposite sex. I try not to be sad on a day like today but there is an ache, if I'm honest.

ContemplatingInfinity · 14/02/2014 16:12

Holidays I saw those - did you also notice they were a quid dearer that the same amount of strawberries in a normal box?! I bought some basic ones for about half the price!

Just exchanged cards here. A few gloaty people on my Facebook but nothing too bad yet. I was expecting better from a couple of people - quite disappointed actually. I can only hope some of the big pressie handovers are tonight instead.

CarolineKnappShappey · 14/02/2014 16:14

We're watching House of Cards too. With a curry.

Really looking forward to it.

wildfig · 14/02/2014 16:15

I got nothing in the post apart from a John Lewis bill. To be fair, though, John Lewis is the most reliable man in my life, while Peter Jones is the place I turn when I need to feel calm, appreciated and above all, not ripped off.

PedantMarina · 14/02/2014 16:16

OP, I've carefully, over time, pruned off the people who would post those kinds of messages from FB. One of them is trying to get back on my Friends list. I think your OP has strengthened my resolve.

I have seen a couple of slightly iffy posts from my remaining [FB] friends, but they're really funny, actually, so I don't mind.

Mim78 · 14/02/2014 16:17

I am making dh watch 12 years a slave later which may not be that romantic!

Misspixietrix · 14/02/2014 16:19

Oh I hate the word "Totes" just fucking say it properly! . YNBU OP. I dislike it too. I'm not totally bitter of course! Grin. Chuckling at the Posters Ds who made her some treats and ate them!! :)

FlankShaftMcWap · 14/02/2014 16:21

SGB I've had a picture of a pair of testicles in the shape of a heart on my news feed, like you I'm appreciative of the lack of gushing from my friends Grin

loveliesbleeding1 · 14/02/2014 16:22

I will be drinking a naice wine with Ben fogle.on the tv with dh

DumSpiroSpero · 14/02/2014 16:23

somewheredizzy my dh is also off to a gig with his best mate this evening! Definitely won't be showing off about his efforts today - I got a nice card & he washed my car yesterday, which after 17 years together is just fine by me.

I've had a lovely lazy day with DD (INSET) and plan to shovel her into bed as early reasonable for a 9yo on school hols, then have an aromatherapy bath and a glass of prosecco & watch a film.

mrsjay · 14/02/2014 16:23

shutitweirdo · 14/02/2014 16:25

Dh got my rocher but I'm on a diet. He also made a card too cheap to buy one. They reduced the flowers when I was shopping so got myself some tulips. Heart shaped nuggets for tea for the kids

Lj8893 · 14/02/2014 16:26

My status today was....

"Oh is it valentines day today?? I would never have guessed."

Every other Facebook status is saying happy valentines to thier loved one in a soppy mushy way or a photo of what they got.

I made my dp flapjacks today. That's his valentines present, not some ridiculous expensive present.
