valentines day

[Potatoface2]

must be true love.....got an egg mcmuffin and a latte for breakfast in bed this morning!....can anyone beat that !....please tell

Got a card, no prezzie. But that's normal for us, we haven't really 'done' V-Day in years. We'll watch a pay per view movie later and probably get a takeaway.

But we've been married for almost 30 years and life's been pretty damn good. We still love each other and holding hands still gives us a thrill. And that's good enough for us.

My DH has been abroad five weeks. Two still to go. We dont normally celebrate valentines but he sent me a nice card he'd made with a photo of us and had written a poem on the inside (he has never, ever done anything like that before and isn't normally romantic) and a bottle of champagne he had personalised with a short message. Was unexpected.

Can't stop laughing at the cat clock of doom. Your poor well meaning DH.

I got a nice card and a beautiful aspinalls wallet I'd had my eye on. He got a few things including a day at a spy academy, learning how to shoot and surveillance techniques etc. I am quite jealous of his ninja school and might book myself on it too....

Couldn't resist having a google - you could start a collection, there's horses and drippy girls and everything:

That website are going to wonder why all the hits today!

Got a "grumpy" mule pack of coffee and a "snore & peace" herbal tea (all unwrapped) which DH panic bought yesterday when he find out I had bought him something - a really nice (and quite expensive) bottle of red wine, which I spent a long time choosing according to his taste.

He seemed super proud with himself too - I had to close my eyes and all...

I wasn't expecting a diamond ring but this is shit and is making me wonder whether he knows me at all or actually loves me.

I had a bacon butty brought to him in bed this morning, last night I had prepared a nice meal, a nice pudding, chilled a bottle of prosecco, not to mentioned "afters" in bed. If I hadn't done this, Valentine's Day would have been a big fat nothing.

To top it all DS2 had made a V card at preschool (for daddy) and DS1 got upset because he had nothing, so I helped him make a card (for daddy), explaining to him that children don't need to bother as it's a special day for mummies and daddies to show how much they loved each other.

So he got 3 lovely cards, a bottle of expensive wine, dinner and sex and I got a bag of Fucking "grumpy" mule and sone grandmother herbal tea to help me sleep - he obviously failed to notice that I'm asleep by 9pm pretty much everyday as I'm totally exhausted of working and looking after the children/house.

Never felt so little loved.

I'm going to drum into my boys to look after their wives.

Fucking Valentine's Day and I never usually swear!

DH has made me my own arm protector which he has carved a pattern into, to celebrate my skill at archery.

He is awesome!

I've had a takeaway and a shag. I'm happy as Larry.

Fry up (including perfectly cooked bacon - my DH is veggie) in bed for breakfast and then fizzy wine for lunch (pizza). Cake for afternoon tea. That'll do me!

I got a Waterman fountain pen engraved with a tiny heart. It was a happy Sunday present cos he doesn't do Valentines.

A card. First time in 12 years. Not bothered about v day. H saw it and wanted to get it for me. He's been taking his feelings for 12yrs so maybe he's actually turned a corner. Who knows?

Usual male grump about Valentines Day - DW got a fancy meal cooked for her (surf and turf with fresh seafood), a bunch of flowers, and fresh coffee in bed.

I got...nothing. Such is Valentine's day...

I got nowt as usual no lie in as one of us had to take dd to do her horse no flowers or card etc. Feeing sorry for myself tonight

dh got me a bunch of red chrysanthemums and a box of makeup that includes lip gloss and shimmer powder.

Last time i wore lip gloss and shimmer powder was about 20 years ago. Gah! I feel so ungrateful and i tried to be pleased but bleurgh, wasn't expecting diamonds but he knows the make up i like and he knows my favourite florist that we walked by 3 times yesterday

I'll swap my make up for the fugly cat clock

I never got him anything as he never bothers but when I hinted he says he can buy me flowers anytime ??? Yet he doesn't. Later he commented about not wanting to spend money yes we have had an expensive month but really £10 on some flowers he then walked in with a box of beer for himself so I am not impressed

How did you not start a hideous clock thread? I would have had to!

But hearing about McDonalds breakfast for Val's day has given me a jealous rage!

My late husband 'didn't do' Valentines Day so I went along with that - not difficult in our final years together which were unhappy.

After a long period being single, I started seeing someone about 5 months ago. Today he bought me a card, with a lovely message and some posh chocolates. It's the first time in over 25 years someone has bought me anything for Valentine's. It's also the first time in all those years that I've bought a card - I got him one of those 'alternative Valentine' cards with a message on that could have been written for him.

Very jealous of the mackie brekkie and I love cats so a clock sounds cute xxx

I love the cat clock! Boyfriend had weekend of valentines fun - went to Calder exhibition at Tate yesterday then had Vietnamese dinner; this morning he made me coffee and croissants in bed, we exchanged cards and he gave me a wonderful handmade besom (broom) which he'd made himself and is a beautiful work of art/craft. Then out for afternoon tea with prosecco at British museum. Feeling very loved up

Last minute roses and box of chocolates from the garage this morning.

I got a solar powered tree. ....

Solar powered tree you say?

And it's bright fucking green.....because I like green and I like trees........

Not even a box of chocolates. .....
