Share your dream 'V-day at home' scenario with Lidl to win vouchers NOW CLOSED

[AmeliaMumsnet]

Lidl know that some of us prefer spending Valentine’s Day at home to venturing out into packed restaurants with hearts everywhere during a freezing February. Lidl have everything in store for the perfect night in, offering all you need for a French-themed dinner to gifts and bottles of bubbly - and they would love to hear how would you spend your dream V-day at home.

What’s the perfect romantic meal for two? Do you prefer classic red roses or truffle chocolates? What’s your ideal tipple for the night? Do you open gifts while listening to romantic music or is a night on the sofa with a movie more your thing?

Whether you are spending Valentine's day with your significant other, having a ‘Galentines’ (girls only) day, or simply enjoying an evening for one, tell us how you’d spend your dream V-day at home. Everyone who posts below will be entered into a prize draw where 5 winners will each get £50 to spend in Lidl.

Thanks and good luck,

Children in bed, candle lit fancy dinner and desert, I wouldn't mind what it is as long as it was not cooked by me,

A quiet night in with my fiance while our daughter is in bed. A nice home cooked meal (partner is a chef!) And because it's valentines day a proper chick flick film with a glass of rosè wine!! Perfection!

Personally I would love a night in with my OH, a nice meal (Italian preferably, we love it!) and a movie night sounds perfect to me! No phones allowed! It'd be nice to just sit and chat (:

its daughters birthday on valentines so anything other than a kids party would be great

Galentines, I like it! I'll have a cheeseboard with a glass of wine, and I'll toast my freedom 😊

Ideally.........A lovely meal when the kids are in bed like steak or lamb with champagne and chocolate.

In reality...... DH will be working 200 miles away onValentines day so it'll be me in my PJs with a bowl of cereal and the cat in my bed!

Seafood platter with chunky chips and mayo to eat, with a decent movie box of truffle chocolates for pudding.

Sounds perfect to me.

Dream Valentines dinner would have to be...

Kids in bed on time.
Some lovely well cooked (blue for me, rare for DP) steak with chunky homemade triple cooked chips, and a large G&T.
Followed by some telly and salted dark chocolate.

We're not huge pudding people, but may make a bacon and brie pastry for starters

Go out for "tea in the evening" as the children call it. Then get them to bed early and coon a great steak with broccoli; and a decent bottle of wine. Then a film and an 'early night'.

Breakfast in bed, followed by a nice long walk, then a light lunch followed by an afternoon on the sofa watching a good film. After that a nice evening meal - starter, nice steak, a good wine and a lavish dessert!

We've had some interesting Valentines days, one of us is always ill or there something happening making us not want to celebrate, this year (and most actually) DS1 will be in hospital, one year I had a mc so we spent the day sat on the sofa playing old video games and eating a billion boxes of chocolates in our pjs.
This will be the first Valentine's Day that we're married and although it can't happen I shal, pretend and say my ideal eve would be something fizzy, a good film, tortilla chips and dip followed by a his two pizza and something chocolate based. I'm classy as anything me.

It's just 'another day' to my OH which I kind of agree with anyway. This year will be the same as any other V day we have had, a good film and a take away no doubt. No alcohol this time though as I'm pregnant but I have been promised a foot massage so not all bad (as long as the foot massage actually materialises )

My dream Valentine's Day date at home would mean my little boy (10 months old) being babysat at grandma's.

The house would be clean and tidy and the table set perfectly with our best dinnerware for a 3 course meal. A new candle would be burning in the centre of the table. The starter would be bruschetta, main course steak with a garlic butter sauce with some potatoes and green vegetables and a chocolate larva cake for dessert. A nice prosseco would of course need to be pre chilled!

I would then spend the rest of the evening watching a romantic classic film with some choccie and more prosecco and end the evening with a candle lit bubble bath for two.

Sadly, my husband's ideal valentines night is to sit in and watch football have me cook whatever dinner I like and look after my little boy he doesn't believe in Valentine's Day would you believe it!! Luckily he makes a really nice effort for my birthdays

A girl can still dream!

A takeaway, bottle of red and Netflix!

Kids to bed early, no school work, no phones and watching a decent film with a gin and tonic.

A perfect valentine's day would be having a cleaner and declutterer come the week before to make the house perfect. I'd love a babysitter so we could go out for a curry or somewhere overlooking the coast.

Realistically it'll be more washing and folding puked on clothes, partner sorting kids and us taking it in turns to eat a supermarket curry whilst other rocks baby!

Takeaway, bottle of prosecco and a rom com!

I would love the prawns, steak and fruit with cheese,
Relaxing music, a good film .............
but most of all I would like to eat it in my house which has been cleaned and tidied. Then I would like a box of fairy dust to sprinkle in my house to keep everywhere clean, washing and ironing done, with a personal chef, so I can enjoy the children

a 3 course candlelit meal a movie and wine

it just needs the right person, anything is wonderful if you have that

Thanks for posting @TulipChewlip @Megansmumsie @libra101 @Spottyladybird and @MrsOllyMurs - you have each won £50 to spend at Lidl!

Well done to all winners and thank you.

a lovely cooked meal (not by me!), a good film and an early night

Mine would be a home cooked steak and chips followed by chocolate fudge cake and ice cream.

then to watch a film with my loved one on the sofa

simple

Getting a take away curry to share, and afterwards a good movie while sharing a box of Belgian chocs. :-) If he brings flowers too, that's a bonus.
