Not telling. Happy Valentines' day to all those grans who have no longer got someone to share it with. This is another occasion that can hit the wrong spot. flowers

OH forgot for the first time ever! So he ran upstairs and found a card in his stash of cards and wrote one for me. Later he is popping to Waitrose to buy their £20 Valentine meal deal. He feels extra guilty as I’m having to get up so early to let the decorators in. He can’t because of his medication side effects. True. I bought him a card and chocolates

Nothing but the husband has just spent 3 days on bed with norovirus so he’s forgiven. 😁

Yes, both but I only gave him a card ( a little grudgingly ) as I knew he would be full on for me. He’s much the romantic and I’m not really.

My Gran always used to give me a Valentine's card. Signed 'Love Gran.' No mystery!
Found a card and box of chocs had been left for me by a secret admirer. DH looking smug wink

My son arrived at 8.00 a.m this morning with a card and small gift....he does this every Valentine's.
I'm very lucky.

No. I told MrP not to waste his money. We don't need a special day in the year to know that we love each other.

I would have always looked at courgettes with a great fondness after that. 😊

Sadly I have no one to buy me a gift/card today. But no matter.

Over 30 years ago on this day I gave birth to our second child our first son.
My husband left the hospital at 4.00 am and returned at lunchtime with a courgette in a brown paper bag, he said the flowers were all outrageously priced because it was Valentine’s Day!
Never been quite sure why a courgette, it remains a mystery.
Since then I have always told him not to bother despite our finances being in much better shape now!
It is now just our sons birthday but perhaps secretly I would like a card, flowers or a little treat😉
