Valentine plans

I shall be aflame tonight.
Just had two cheese sandwiches and some pickled onions, so it'll be heartburn time for me.

In response to the OP, presents? WHY?

Quite a few years ago Mr P bought what was obviously an expensive Valentine's day card, and no, it was not one of those huge tacky ones, rather a beautiful handmade one, although not by him!

So, the tradition here is that each year, he writes a new message on it, I read it, and it goes back in its box until next year.

Presents are for birthdays and Christmas!

Bathsheba Yes it is not because of muscles that's for sure! Like you I am not very mobile due to back problems so we are just enjoying a quiet evening together.. pretty much like any other evening!

I agree about presents. Just taking it too far. A society with more money than sense?

I'm sorry if that sounded grumpy.

I agree about presents too - flowers, or a romantic meal out (or at home!) are lovely, but presents? Aren't birthdays and Christmas enough for some people?

phoenix I love the sound of your recycled Valentine's card - that would mean more to me than an expensive gift ?

Chocolates are alright.

Or as Ogden Nash said; Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker.

I too love cheese sarnies and pickled onions which reminds me, I haven't any in my cupboards so it's time to hunt down the Baxters...and a jar of sliced beetroot too. Yummy.

How cute.

oh my word, such sadness in some of the posts of this subject but thankfully lots of love and hope too.

After my first husband died (after 20 wonderful valentine's days) I then had 7 years alone before meeting my new husband. we married in September 2016 and this afternoon we're off to spend the night at the hotel we stayed at on our wedding night. Dinner booked with strawberries, chocolates and wine waiting in our room. On Thursday I received a beautiful card, bottle of prosecco and chocolates then had the most gorgeous bouquet of red roses delivered. I am so grateful for meeting a caring loving hard working honest man and hope we have many many more years of fun and happiness together.

I'm happy to celebrate finding love again on this day and every day.

There was me thinking it was all to do with your impressive muscles, PECS!
