Valentine plans

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 ❤️

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!

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.

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!

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

Gave up on all that many years ago

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!)??

This will be our 56th Valentine's day, we exchange cards and will probably go out for lunch.

I'm with Cabbie's OH on this. My OH and I mark our own personal anniversaries and birthdays with gifts and/or special treats. If either of us feels like giving a little gift or making a "romantic" gesture at any other time, then we do. Our daughter was firmly told at a very young age that our household doesn't "do" Mothers' Day or Fathers' Day and she should not be spending her pocket money on such nonsense.

I can think of few things I'd want less than to be rammed into an overcrowded restaurant with overworked staff, trying to enjoy an over priced meal and straining to hear while my stressed out swain tried to proclaim undying love over the hubbub!

Ive added some flowers on the Ocado order for me, otherwise there will be nothing

It was DH's 70th last year so we had a gathering of the clans in Cromarty in October with the gift from all of a posh telescope, followed by an overnight stay at a hotel with 5 course dinner and a local connoisseur's choice of wine with every course to celebrate (belatedly!) our meeting on Boxing Day 1967 (I was not well 2016 - mid 2018) so he might get a bottle of wine to go with a nice meal cooked by him on Thursday. I have a rather nice card for him hidden somewhere..... Oh dear...!!

We don't bother, it's Beloved's birthday and our wedding anniversary on Saturday, that's more important.

We are normally away this week but this year went a week earlier, as I have my birthday on the 10th, today 12th we celebrate our 40th anniversary and then Valentines a week of celebrating for us, meals out with our children and Grand children and friends. so lots of cards and flowers fill the house, we tend not to buy gifts as we buy when we want although I did receive ruby and diamond earrings today.

We are away in Portugal but DH got me to book at our favourite restaurant here and that’s it. I’ve had two cards, mine and his, in my card drawer for several years now and neither of us are bothered enough to write them but our 50th anniversary is on 29 March so thats good enough I suppose.

DH & I never bothered with Valentine's Day but he would surprise my with thoughtful gifts throughout the year. 6 years today I was widowed so unless my lovely DGS sends me a card it'll be a normal day

We have been married 38byears but my husband always sends me a card with a lovely verse on.A bunch of red roses and a romantic meal in.Not so sure this year as have my brother lodging with me

Did get a valentine card for DH once - and ended up keeping it for several years until one year he got one for me ( think I reminded him about it that year) - then he got the one I'd saved, and written, years ago!

It's our 50th Valentine's Day together... we're 49 years married in March. We'll wake up that morning in Leeds where we'll be visiting our Grandson in Uni. So I'll have brekker with two of the loveliest blokes I know. Bliss.

Valentines Day is also our wedding anniversary (38 years), so we're having a day out including lunch. Just as well, our kitchen is in turmoil after DH has done some rewiring and all is coated in a layer of dust from cutting into the walls and replastering!
I cunningly suggested Valentine's Day for our wedding all those years ago, on the basis he'd have a job forgetting our anniversary in years to come!
