Anyone else not bought their other half a valentines card/present?

[Disenchanted3]

Things like that don't bother him, I might do something come the day but I'm not going out of my way to go to the shops and spend money on something for him.

Have I a cold and withered heart?

DH doesn't need presents.....he has me! What more does he need?

Celebrating your love on valentine's day is about as romantic as texting your partner at work to say you are ovulating and demanding impregnating within the hour

I received a valentine from a work colleague on Friday in my post tray. I'm horrified. At any other time of year, confessing to love for someone you share a coffee machine with, would be stalking .

But hey, well done all of you who are making the effort. Mint sauce anyone?

aw, you meanies. me and dh don't go a bundle but i've got the fifteen quid waitrose festival of valentine's carbs in the oven and i've made a wee stick drawing card. (although dd took over and drew most of it, in the same way that both dds get between our legs and puuuuuuush if me and dh have a cuddle that excludes them). he'll phsl when he sees the card, it's rawther funny if i say so myself.

Baaaaaaaaaa!

I bought my DP a Lindor egg, but he's pissed off to Brighton for the weekend so I'm going to eat it myself. And possibly piss in his wellies too.

We're making the most of a "cheap" hotel deal to spend two days in London, and get chapagne and strawberries, dinner, bed, breakfast, 2 spa treatments, rose&chocolates in a 5 star hotel for less than b&b in a 4* on most other nights. And DH suggested it so I say bring it on!

Never really done much for Valentine's as our getting-together-anniversary for three days before, but as our first 14/2 since we got married - and maybe possibly our last before babies - he wanted to do something special. But to show my vague cynicism, I have bought a very tongue-in-cheek card.

huuuuuumbuuuuuuug.

anyway, talking of the romance of texting... you and your dh practically have FB sex, i've seen you. like a couple of frisky teens. tsk tsk.

and if it helps, we tend only to realise it's our wedding anniversary when the card from my mother drops through the letterbox.

Cooked dh a favourite meal tonight and once I realised the date told him that was his Valentine's meal.

Dh is taking dd to a swimming party tomorrow which is an a very romantic gesture in my book! Also might get a shoulder and foot rub as have pg aches and pains. Bliss!

But no red-hearted tat in this house

We do not just because I don't call him an arse on Facebook does not mean we are sexting!!!!

We also forget our anniversaries, and one year I did remember but remembered the anniversary of my first marriage instead (oops!)

Yeah, dead romantic me.

I think I would do a card if I had a partner

sadly the only person I'd realy like to send one to is totally unavailable. So that's out.

Before DH I really hated valentines, in fact my only effort was to by one ex-bf a copy of 'one hundred years of solitude' as a valentines gift . But DH is a complete softy. And such a lovely man that I have made him some chocolates and bought him a bottle of whisky I know he'll like. Any excuse to make him feel special

Aitch - I take it back, there is an example of my undying devotion on my FB page tonight for DH

I like Valentines day

I've bought DH an egg poacher (he has them most mornings and the one we have currently is coated with anti-teflon and takes me ages to clean in the morning)

He will have bought me something cute and probably some chocolates too. But I love cute things and chocolate so will be very happy.

No cos he's twat and I'm not speaking to him.

No, we used to but we are quite a romantic couple naturally all year round, we don't need hallmark to remind us that we fancy the pants off each other.

kerry

Not really.

Got DH a card, but only because it says "You're a great shag". I was going to get him a heart-shaped box of Ferrero Rocher, coz he wuvs them. But I didn't.

It's DHs busiest weekend this year, so he'll be at work all day today & tomorrow.

We show our love for each other all year, anyhoo.

Is anyone doing Steak & Blowjob day next month?

Nope we don't do Valentines and never did. Everyone knows it's a marketing exercise and a con, and is therefore cheap and tacky. DH does sometimes text me "be my valentine" tho which is sweet

I WILL do pancakes tho at some point.. where I come from, this whole week is pancake week. There's lots of tradition around it, i.e. you're meant to spend the whole week hosting pancake feasts and going round to other people's. So far I've only managed a small event at a friend's place, and half the batter went to waste bc my 4-month old son got overtired and pulled the incredible hulk so I had to stop and no one else could be bothered finishing off. Still waiting to make some pancakes at home, DH loves my pancakes but it's all subject to DS's mood

We decided this year to stop doing it. Feels very liberating not to buy overpriced crap!

We realised that we don't need a special day to tell/show each other we love each other!

We've agreed for several years that we won't do Valentine's Day, as it's too commercial.

But we'll surprise each other spontaneously at other times instead. Like I got a bunch of flowers 2 weeks ago, red roses, etc, at what's probably half the price of today. Just cos they looked nice as we walked by.

at what lengths whomoved is prepared to go to IN PUBLIC to satisfy her ravenous husband for valentine's day. tsk tsk tsk.
