Valentine plans

Git card and wine for him probably celebrate more on sat when we are off work!!i know I'll g t flowers Andy card off other half he never forgets!?( I tell him not too!)??

Gave up on all that many years ago

Think my husband must be the most unromantic person going. I have given up trying

My ex OG gave me some daff bulbs in a brown paper bag, said flowers were a rip off - he was an accountant!

I thought he was making up for it when he promised a big surprise for my birthday - turned out to be a parachute jump!

We don't do anything special for Valentine's day, but I have a new pair of high heeled bright red sandals that I intend to put on later today with either matching or contrasting undies.

When we were first married my husband was a seafarer and if he was away for Valentines Day I always received a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a card from him to mark the occasion.
A few years later when he was no longer working at sea but on 'dry land' I asked, out of curiosity and not wanting to appear ungrateful for the card he gave me, why I no longer received a beautiful bouquet. His answer: 'you don't need flowers, you've got me!'. There are times when the flowers would have been preferable
38 years married this April!

Nope no cards no present however the way to my man's heart is through his stomach so extra effort and cook up a special meal ❤️

I am giving a talk to our WI, so that's about 20 of us not having a romantic night in. I did get a free choc heart from Thorntons, so we can share that, lol.

Planning a lovely day out as the weather is going to be dry, start with coffee and flapjack followed by a beautiful bike ride. A lunch stop and then home. Plan to cook an easy fish dinner (our favourite) and a Tiger beer (also our favourite) and then probably fall into bed totally exhausted after the long bike ride and food. But we are happy.

Ha ,only card in my knicker draw is on the size 14 lacy knickers I keep aiming to slim in to
Keep believing doesn’t matter how you show them just love them
Leaving the shower running so it’s warm for me to get in to was this morning gesture
Letting me spoon on cold nights then me saying get off two minutes later when am too too hot
Lovely day to natter ladies and gents

Actually, further to my rather glib reply above, we are going to the funeral of my sister in law's father.

He wanted to die so he could be with his much loved wife. He died on the first anniversary of her death so Valentine's day seems a fitting day for his funeral.

We will have a lovely time meeting family and old friends and might get a takeaway on the way home.

It will actually be quite a thoughtful day all round. And, I'll probably remember to give DH the card.

Surely it's 14th Feb? Why is everybody dressing up today?
Have I missed something.
Too busy worrying about depleted insect population to be a romantic but we'll see. I have an old girl friend coming to stay for a few days on Thursday and a night out with the girls on Friday so these may have to do.
Well cook up something nice and have a bottle of wine probably. Followed by an early night.

If we hadn't divorced it would be our 43rd wedding anniversary. I tend to ignore it now...hahaha

I have an amazing assortment of oddities in my k drawer. Unfortunately, none of them remotely romantic!

I like mumofmadboys have a card and chocolate hearts hidden in my bureau.
My DH is making us a delicious lunch and I have a box of red confetti hearts which I will scatter over the table. This will our 51st Valentine's day that we have shared together.

Our first Valentine's Day as a married couple. It was nice to be able to buy a card with husband on it. I've also bought a dark chocolate heart from Hotel Chocolat. I'm hoping to get a card but Thursday evening he always meets up with his very old group of friends at the pub and I don't think that will change.

Valentines Day is for kids isn't it? I would much rather my hubby surprise me with the odd bunch of flowers on random days than spend a bloody fortune on them when they are ridiculously priced! My only nod to the day will be to make some iced heart biscuits and muffins for my student son and his housemates, as I'm visiting him tomorrow and am not allowed in without a tin full of baking!

We two have our own 'vested interests' going on in our lives and so every morning and every night we tell each other of our love and of our appreciation. Don't wait for a special (commercially inspired) day! So important to water your love every single day - 58 years since we met and happily we are still going strong with much watering!

Hang about! I thought the idea was for Blokes to give roses and chocs to the Sheilas! So why are no men on this thread?
It's said that men regard Valentine's Day as "Extortion Day" and wait until the 15th to get choccies at half price. Romantic? Not!

We will be doing absolutely nothing, as per usual, because we got married on 17 February and celebrate that instead.

My dh is away, and still will be on the day. If he remembers he will probably send flowers, but I won't be at all bothered if he doesn't.
Shall probably treat myself to a nice ready meal - not because of V Day but because I usually do at least once when he's away, and there's not much left in the fridge.

My husband will not even notice it's Valentine's Day, same as our Anniversary! This September it will be 50 years. I doubt he'll remember. We had 25 - 30 happy years and then he took early retirement and it was downhill from there on.

EllanVannin. You are my inspiration! I shall copy you, if that is not a terrible Cheek! And as I sit down to enjoy my special treat I shall raise a glass (alcohol free) to you and wish you every happiness! Being on one's own can be very pleasant too!

jennymolly. Bless you! I will think f you. I had over twenty years of unhappiness with a husband. Not same as you but enough to know the sadness you are feeling. I send you lots of love.

Kim19. Oh dear you have made me think! In my knicker drawer is a box with a feather from our parrot when I was a child, some hair from my first dog a golden cocker spaniel, also when I was a child, and a letter M&S sent me which my youngest wrote to them aged 8 asking them to send her mummy a nice dress because mummy had been ill.
The fact that I live with my small rescued dogs now and am perfectly happy not having a partner, (years of covert abuse) may have been predicted by the contents of the box!
