.

And its not that I hate people having someone to share it with, imnm genuinely happy for them (and Im of the thought that Val day is every day) but here we go with the million adverts of loved ones and the chocs and the flowers etc etc etc........and yet another reminder Im alone (yes got DC but YKWIM).

any more shoulders out there to cry alongside?

sorry, depressing.

me and DC made heart shaped cookies, then after I washed the cookie cutters I used them to make heart shaped poached eggs! (metal cutters obv).

prob when DC goes to bed ill sit here with a glass of -hic- something and depress myself!!!! not watching anything lovey dovey though.

Min that's a lovely thing to do.

That's EXACTLY what the bloke on the radio said this morning.

"Tell him or her, not us or your mates as we couldn't give a monkeys"

I had a friend whos boyf asked her to marry him, hed JUST put the ring on her finger when she was all over fb with it, instead of enjoying the moment with the poor guy.she was there ages.

guy took the ring back saying hed changed his mind as obv her friends and strangers and the internet were more important than him!!

It's not that I miss H per-se as he was pretty shit at V day (ooh how much anarchic fun we had bucking the system and doing 'anti-valentines') like many things over 18 years I ended up agreeing with I regret not saying I would have loved hearts, flowers and champagne once in a while.. but I do feel a bit extra lonely tonight. And with 3 dc, aged 4 and under I have a feeling there will be many more single valentines to come....!

It's all a complete charade: very few people, including those within happy relationships, are sitting being all coupley and contrived - it's too embarrassing, silly and inauthentic. So rest assured, a barely-noticed card might be exchanged in the morning rush but apart from that, the same, ''have you put a Calgon tablet in the washing machine recently or is it due one?" convos are going in in any normal couples' houses tonight, and the roses, chocs and mass-produced teddies are only being exchanged by awkward teenagers - or Facebook people with the same level of sophistication.

There is nothing on this day any different about being in a couple or not. I actually am in one but we do not buy into any of this and neither do any couples I know. Therefore, the images put about by all the marketing are actually out of reach for all of us! :) Which makes sense cos they're just companies crassly trying to flog stuff, as ever
