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

DH and I usually do cards but I've pushed the boat out this year and bought him pants and socks (am old romantic, me).in return i'm hoping for a takeaway and an offer to spend tonight trying to get our colicky 2 week old baby to sleep while I get some rest.

A friend of my DH has just announced his engagement on FB and how blessed he is ...

the only valentines FB status I have had on my feed reads.

" No woman will be truly satisfied on valentines day because no man will have a chocolate penis that ejaculates money"

I am glad I choose my FB friends carefully.

Binky I am stealing that!!

Binky, that isn't perfect only because it doesn't finish with "... and turns into a calorie-free pizza and the Pride & Prejudice (with Colin Firth) box set afterwards".

I'll admit it doesn't have the same insouciant swing as your version, but still...

(Lurving the pratchett-inspired tag, however)

Flank I've been treated to said heart on my newsfeed too! .

I'm not joking when I say this. SAME woman has now posted a really distasteful meme saying "Happy Valentines Day to a great friend who will be rubbing her own clit tonight" hehehe

I'm starting to think she's having words with someone without naming them.

I have her on my feed just for entertainment purposes. She's not a real friend just someone I went to school with. Her life is like a soap opera. So yes, my nosy self keeps her as a "friend".

My feed is full of cats with heart shaped markings/tails entwined into heart shapes.
I think my friends love their cats more than their husbands. My cat is a bastard.

Has anyone else been subjected to numerous pictures of tables with knives and forks set out - all set up for 'romantic meal'???

Why do I need to see this?

ANd ive just had a pic of someones bath with rose petals in and a pint of lager resting beside it- all for the 'man of the house' when he gets in from work.

I've only noticed 2 lovey-dovey statuses thus far - my DB going on about how much he loves his ickle wifey-poo not his actual words but might as well have been & one lady whose DH has cancer. I can forgive hers. I'd love to block DB!

I've also had several comments from single people about how miserable they are. One of them is 18 & constantly posts woe-is-me things. Today we got to hear all about how she hates today because she always spends Valentine's listening to romantic music. Umm... turn it off?!

DH emailed me a pdf picture of him & the kids with a cutesy slogan. After nearly 7 years of marriage he still doesn't get that I find that stuff cringy! Bless, he thinks he's being romantic!

I didn't open my card this morning after a massive row after our meal out last night and have just got back from a mad gallop on the horse to find it has gone so no idea if he has chucked it or not. The wilted roses are still there in the kitchen (he chucked them on the floor in hallway last night before I made my way to sleep in the kids bedroom) so yes happy valentines day all! Can't get much better than that!

My valentines romance consisted of me posting pictures of Star Wars lego mini figures with cakes/hearts/flowers on DH's Facebook timeline and him putting pictures of baby pandas on mine.

Is it wrong that I really, really want to see these heart shaped balls??

Molly you really don't. There's not enough brain bleach in the world! .

I got some wine from DH and DD spent a bit of her birthday money to get me a box of 5 Ferrero Rocher which was very sweet

No card or present but my dh went to visit my mother in hospital in his lunch break and has just driven over to pick me up from the same hospital. That is more than enough for me.

I got gin. Rather nice gin.

DH has had DD1 and DD2 out at the cinema all day, he came home with my present... A Japanese fighting fish Loves him I do!

My dopey sister in law has got engaged to her horrible bellend boyfriend this evening. I don't know what I object to more the fact she's said yes when he's such a twerp or the cliche of a valentines proposal.

Old cynic I am.

Feeling a bit miserable because I am a widow, then remembered we never did VD!?! If he had been alive I would have got a jokey ( slightly insulting) card! Hope you all had a lovely evening.

My newsfeed is full of photos of food and tables set up for a romantic night, I don't understand why I need to see them. Then they add the comments thanking the 'wonderful, amazing' DP for being so romantic. It irritates me because I know the DP's of the women who have added these photographs, it's not actually like that in real life, at all! All set up for facebook to show what a grey time they're having, it's sad really that their first thought is facebook and not just enjoying each other's company.

We had dinner in front of the telly once DS had gone to bed. Then I ruined my diet by eating half a box of milk tray. Now I have a headaches hence why I'm awake at 6am.

Joni you've hit the nail on the head. I'm not wishing illness on anyone as a way of testing love but once you've been there, a perfectly set table seems a very fickle and shallow expression of 'love'.

Dh and I didn't do anything and neither of us cared.

Ds came into my bed last night feeling unwell. A sleepy 'hold your nose Valentine' before an SBD trump. So proud.

I think before posting these lovey dovey messages on F/B esp the really gloaty ones people need to think....A lady on my F/B was feeling particularly sad yesterday because hubby was serving in Afghanistan, there are also people out there who are spending their first valentines alone because of bereavement so to put a totally OTT, smug type message is insensitive....There are many reasons why someone is alone on Valentines day.

No one on my Facebook news feed has posted any valentines wankery. Apart from one friend - but her card was v lovely.
