What INCREDIBLY ROMANTIC plans do you have for V Day?

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 Grin

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?

Re M&S, we went for tomato & camembert tart, duck legs, wedges, millionaires shortbread. All very tasty.

proudbadmum you don't have to be elegant, strength is much more important in pole dancing! Give it a go...

AuntNancy, Trainspotting is definitely the better option!

fenella I feel for you. I went into labour at 40+7 and baby was born 40+8 😩
I had sex a couple of times in the week I went into labour - might be worth a try.

anon I've tried everything! Sad I just can't face any more spicy food, pineapple or sex!

anonbecauseiwanna · 13/02/2017 11:20

It's the worst, I hated everyone.

CMOTDibbler · 13/02/2017 11:20

We'll be working, then I have a meeting in the evening about a fundraising event. We might squeeze in dinner between, but we are both on diets

FairyDogMother11 · 13/02/2017 11:23

Dp: "What are we doing for Valentine's?"
Me: "We don't do Valentine's!"
Dp: "But hear me out, it'll be romantic. The 14th is Tuesday so that means Domino's Two For Tuesday"

Romance is alive and well in this household...

Derekmorganwasinmybed · 13/02/2017 11:26

I have parents evening so nothing romantic

Tenpastlate · 13/02/2017 11:32

DH will be away so I'll be having a romantic evening of fishfingers and maths homework with DD and DS Grin

SukeyTakeItOffAgain · 13/02/2017 11:34

Going for a meal with DH's crazy aunt. Yay. Hmm

xStefx · 13/02/2017 11:37

im spending the night with my best friend (she is single)
DP will be watching DD
We do buy cards though :-)

icy121 · 13/02/2017 11:38

Frozen pizza, splash of red wine for me (pregnant), glass for him I reckon. Netflix, or rent a movie maybe. Or just watch some basketball on catch up.

He has a busy week at work - board meeting and results announcement, so will be stressed. My boss is off and I'm taking the "be reactive, keep it ticking over" approach this week. One of us is winning this week.

Blueskyrain · 13/02/2017 11:40

There'll be cards, a nice meal out for 2, he'll make me cake and bring me roses, and we are going away for the weekend together.

I absolutely love valentines.

londonrach · 13/02/2017 11:43

Can i have your dad please op. Nothing planned. Hoping my dd gives me a full night without waking. Shes pretty good but i live in fear it could change any moment!

NotInMyBackYard1 · 13/02/2017 11:44

We have booked to stay in a hut in the garden of a country hall this weekend Grin I hope the weather warms up a bit!

Crazycatlady123 · 13/02/2017 11:44

I'm being induced tomorrow on Valentine's Day, so no romantic plans for me 😂

We did do the M&S dine in deal over the weekend and really enjoyed it

ShizerMinelli · 13/02/2017 12:27

Starting slimming world!

Lolly86 · 13/02/2017 12:31

Working a 13 hour shift who else DH is at home with DD. 😊

Katedotness1963 · 13/02/2017 12:38

Husband is taking the afternoon of work. In the evening we're dragging our teenagers out for a meal at a Greek restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary with us. 32 years.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 13/02/2017 12:42

I'm seeing dp for a quickie tomorrow morning. Ever the romantic, as always.Grin

JennyOnAPlate · 13/02/2017 12:44

Well when I realised this morning that tomorrow is Valentine's Day and mentioned it to dh his response was "oh fuck when am I gonna get to the shops between now and tomorrow?" So I'm not expecting much Grin maybe he'll pilfer the stationary cupboard and make me a card??

Ladyofc42 · 13/02/2017 12:49

We are going to local hotel, they are screening Casablanca, my absolute fav movie, they are providing popcorn chocolate and drinks :) can't wait, we don't get out much lol

dnamummy · 13/02/2017 13:01

I'm booked to donate blood! Blood service have texted to remind me about half a dozen times - suspect they cannot believe anyone's Valentine plans are that dad!

dnamummy · 13/02/2017 13:02

Sad not dad!
