What INCREDIBLY ROMANTIC plans do you have for V Day?

[EssieTregowan]

We're getting a takeaway and having a movie night. With all three kids (two teens and a 5yo).

We really know how to celebrate

The valentine's Bunny my lovely Dad always delivers a personalised, wrapped box of maltesers for each person (that's 4 kids and 7 grandchildren...) in the middle of the night to be found on the doorstep in the morning.

How does it look in your house? Hotbed of steamy romance or just another weekday?

Should say 4 kids plus spouses, we all get one.

I think I love your dad! Can he be my valentine?

I've no plan. Zero! Not even a card yet. Was hoping this thread would be full of ideas!

DH and I will be taking DD to speech therapy in the morning, then leaving her with family so he can take me to the fracture clinic this afternoon. Hopefully he will be able to squeeze in a nap before he goes to work on a night shift. All hearts and flowers here!

He's awesome. We nearly lost him a few weeks ago when his gallbladder went septic but he's back to his wonderful self now.

Not this afternoon, in the afternoon

We've bought the Asda valentines meal thingy. Mainly cos we fancied lamb shanks.

Ooh Ouch. Hope you're on the mend soon.

going to the theatre with three friends and leaving DP at home with the baby

I would like to adopt your dad please

Staying in with baby and her dad. Probably have a Chinese and watch some film.

Just anorher day for us

M&S Dine In. Which we actually did on Saturday because we don't drink or eat carbs in the week. I'll pop out and buy a card later.

I'm going to yoga in the evening. On my own. DH has bought me some chocolates though. (We tend to ignore it.)

Once dc are asleep ( ds sleeps 6pm-5:30am and baby only wakes 1-2 times) I will cook dh steak & chips with creme brûlée and champagne then I've got an Ann summers outfit to wear and we are off to bed with some chocolate body paint and If he is really lucky I might show him what I've learnt at Pole dancing class I have a pop up Pole

pink I would love to join pole dancing classes. I just don't think I'm elegant enough for them. I move like a builder, even my walk

I shall be a sad singleton and spend the night in my pjs, watching Bridget Jones and stuffing my face with chocolate

Im babysitting my friends child while she goes to work and have a blood test, then in the evening I am going to have a film night with DD.

Probably a dine in option, whichever does a veggie version.

Spending Thursday/ Friday in London- sharing a room with DS

Probably pasta bake and an early night .

Rock and roll here ❤️❤️

We'll do something at the weekend though. Prob just a nice family day out, nice family dinner and some fizz and spicy crisps for supper.
We've been together a long time....I hate forced love and I don't like roses. Random bunch of flowers on a random date is much nicer.

I'm nicking the wrapped malteaser boxes idea though!! I'll be doing that later!!

We've got a m&s dine in thing and we will watch a film if dd decides she would like to sleep

Oh and we're ttc but I'm only CD8 so I don't want to waste out efforts yet. I haven't slept since DD was born so DTD is effort, if I'm in bed I want to be asleep. I told him that doesn't necessarily need to be a barrier but he's not up for it, it'd be weird apparently.

Gave DH the choice of Fifty Shades Darker and Trainspotting 2 at the local Odeon. He said, 'Oh, Trainspotting' before I'd even finished speaking.

I'm feeding DD her favourite picky-tea, packing her off to bed, then running down the local kebab joint. Meanwhile, DP will light a candle on the coffee table, fire up the tellies and X-Boxes and place a six-pack of cider within grabbing distance.

So, basically, Saturday night on a Tuesday, with Added Candle.

I'll be 40+5 tomorrow, so largely climbing the walls with impatience, moaning about feeling fat and uncomfortable and snapping at DH every time he comes in sight, I expect.....

We always get the m&s meal and buy each other a card. This year we have a 6mo so it will be a special occasion if we have sex on a week night (usually reserved for the not quite as knackered weekends).

My dh is off work tomorrow so we are having a family day. We are taking ds to see lego batman, are having lunch out and then some shopping. When ds goes to bed we will probably watch a DVD.
