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?

In order to assist with my calorie counting, Mr Autumn has made Hairy Bikers Rich Beef in Red Wine and Colcannon for tea tomorrow

After I've had my back cracked (not a euphemism!) it will be a quiet night in watching TV and maybe a bottle of wine.

Dh goes to Fil's on a Tuesday evening, so he will be there. DS1 will be at work and ds2 will be ensconced in his bedroom as usual.

Me and the cat wil have a lovely evening watching crap tv

(Dh does have Thu and Fri off though, so we are off to a gig on Thu evening and D/B/B in a swanky hotel on Fri. So I shall forgive him for the lack of romance tomorrow!)

Gaviscon and ice cubes for snacks. Not sitting next to DH because sofa is too uncomfortable. Pausing film every 15 mins for yet another wee.

Late pregnancy is so conducive to romance!

Got DP a present and card, doubt he'll get me anything- I'm not too fussed, I told him not to bother, and it's definitely a commercialised day, so as long as he attends the early midwife appointment in the morning, I'm fine with doing nothing

As it's half term and babysitters are thin on the ground at the best of times, we are intending on having a fab and fun filled day with our little loves. We might make some nice heart-shaped cards and crafts, eat chocolates... will have a dine in for two in the evening. M&S, obvs

Early as in the time, not early in pregnancy
