Valentines cards and gifts.

Sometimes I did and sometimes I didn’t.

We always exchange cards but, this year) DH has surprised me with a booking for my favourite restaurant in a couple of week's time - to recover from half term.

That made me laugh about the courgette Sago
We usually do small gifts but I told him we weren’t bothering this year. I did get him some of his favourite chocolate though and he got me some lovely flowers.
We passed a florist yesterday that was open and a young man was sheepishly going in. I commented how it makes me laugh these
people pressurised into buying gifts for loved ones on this one day when it should be all year round.

I normally get flowers, but himself is isolating at the moment so will be excused. I’ve bought him a giant Toblerone which I hope we’ll be sharing.

Our wedding anniversary is on 17th February so we have never bothered with Valentines day. A nice quiet meal out together on the 17th without any of the razzmatazz, schmaltz and fake romance of the 14th - and a damn sight cheaper and better (for the meal)

He gave you a courgette in a paper bag? please tell me where you put it

we don't bother as I think having a wedding anniversary is plenty to be getting on with

Never had so much as a card from my husband for this 'load of American rubbish' celebration. However his line of reasoning and suitable alternatives were quite enough for me over all our years ttogether. He was indeed a good 'un.

We always exchange cards, sometimes a little gift if either of us sees anything appropriate.
We also go out for a special meal, this year the Valentine tasting menu at a local Italian restaurant.
After the birth of our first child DH brought me a bag of mini Danish pastries, I’d been addicted to them during the pregnancy. Better than flowers!

We always exchange cards, also I usually get a small gift, soft toy, chocolates, red roses, etc. Most importantly he shows that he cares about me all through the year in many ways. Yes we are still in love!

My post child birth presents have always been cuddly monkeys.

My DH always likes to cook a meal for me at home on valentines night..We’ve got some halibut out for tonight. A candle and a glass of wine and that’s us happy. I’m going to pop out and see if I can buy him an orchid inside a vase he commented on how much he liked them.

My post box will be crammed with Valentine's cards as usual ?

I always got flowers and very ‘wordy’ card from DH, I do miss him so. Might treat myself to a bunch.

For you Tanith xx

? you should definately treat yourself as a memory to your DH

Hope you all have a loving day!

There is an anti Valentine/commercialism movement this year with apparently huge sales of anti Valentine cards and gifts. Haven’t seen any courgettes but an animal charity is selling litter trays with your ex’s name engraved on the bottom for example ?

I got a gorgeous flower arrangement delivered on Friday, couple of days early so the flowers will ‘come out’ more - practical DH! Unfortunately they are red and white so I’ve had to stick a daffodil in with them. Mum was a nurse and would have been horrified.

We exchange cards but not gifts. Having said that, he did present me with a packet of Munchies this morning (2 for 1 at the Co-op) ?.

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone.

Yup, MaybeMaw. Woof, woof!

Charming, single young (can be gentle) man looking for a Valentine.
Full of fun and mischief, will take your breath away, loves muddy fields, enjoys food and treats, has a comfy bed to share, maybe with you? ♥️♥️♥️

My husband usually gets me a bottle rose Cava my favourite and flowers a few days before. He refuses to pay triple the price on Valentine’s Day I don’t blame him it’s the same on Mother’s Day rip off prices.

My DH usually comes in bearing daffodils , picked in our Lane!!!This year however, he is having a hip replaced, so a text message has had to do!!
