Valentine plans

We'll ignore it too.
But my husband is upstairs right now putting a clean king size duvet cover on our duvet and for that I am more grateful than for a card.........I find it so difficult to do!!

pen50, interesting sweater superstition. Fact is my husband is the only one who was lucky enough not to get one. Guess he got me instead!

I will be at a WI Committee meeting. This will be the first time in 35 years of marriage with nothing planned! I'd better get thinking!

I don’t need a special day, to show my love for my husband (I’ve been with him since 1970 m. 46years), that is nothing but a commercialised event. I will actually be visiting a friend that day, so we’ll probably have baked beans on toast for dinner.

We’ll ignore it!
Even my son doesn’t buy anything for his wife as he he says it’s Valentine’s Day every day for them, not just one day a year!

First one alone but I am going to buy myself the flowers and fizz and drink a toast to DH - we had 45 years! Enjoy your evenings everyone and make the most of the day.

Meal for two, chocolates ,and We both buy cards.

43 years for us and he never forgets St Valentine's day, anniversary or birthday, but I wish he would be less precise about my age! Some of us are never satisfied!!

A card has been posted to my new-ish chap (we've been in a relationship since last July). We won't see each other until Friday but I think there has been a hint that a present will turn up then. Meantime I have been busy with wool - this bloke is definitely knitworthy. Though he's not getting a jersey, we don't want to activate the Curse of the Boyfriend Sweater.

Me too! We both totally forgot last year but it didn't matter as we BOTH forgot...

Haven’t got the card yet but himself got me an Epilady to remove the fine hair on my face. (At my request, I should add.)
So romantic!
I tried it the other night and my face came up in great blobs Had to cool it down with cold water. Luckily they had gone the next day.
Note to self.... only use it in the evening long before you are going anywhere!
Haven’t got him anything yet but I’m sure he’ll let me know what he wants fairly soon!

My husband and I have been together for 58 years and I would never let Valentine's Day go by without a card. I am also taking him out for lunch and have ordered a magnolia tree for him that he fancied
Not a surprise I know but he has bought me a lovely coral coloured leather handbag that I said I liked

My OH said last evening "we wont buy anything for Valentines Day will we" he said that at Christmas too, on reflection on wakening this morning I thought "No" so I said we cant stop giving because we have everything, I think he has now come to my way of thinking, it will be interesting on Thursday!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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 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!

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!

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.

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.

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