Valentine Day

Did do with my darling husband. Every year cards and a nice meal together. Been crying at the memory this morning. Miss him so much.

There's already a thread about Valentine’s Day

Yes. Since Covid, we have recycled our cards by adding a new verse.
Maybe next year might buy a fresh card.
Probably sounds nuts!
We don’t need cards to tell the other how much they are loved.

Not that nutjob, who’s encouraging her granddaughters to send cards to strange men? Bluebell

No not that one there’s one already about Valentine’s Day itself I ll try and find it

Valentine’s Day, is becoming like Halloween

Yes always, today the usual cards and roses, asked my wife what she wanted to do later - Rugby, so it's the local club to watch 30 men roll around in the mud, she a fan, a lot of our friends will be there and I can have a beer.
Then this evening I'm cooking a Valentine supper

I forgot that it's Valentine's day. Haven't celebrated for a long time now.

Have never celebrated Valentine's day because it's our Wedding Anniversary tomorrow but all of a sudden this year my Husband has bought me a Valentine's card 🤔

Yes, there is, but that one is more to do about the over commercialisation of the day, whereas this thread is asking people if they celebrate it.

My mum still puts up her valentine cards. The very first card my dad sent to mum age 15 (remember when they were padded, diamantés & came in a box). Last one he ever sent her before he died.

This is a nice thread and thank you for opening it.

So sorry for those who have lost loved ones.

My lovely husband bought me a lovely card and he is cooking a roast dinner tonight. We will probably watch a film. At 73 there is still romance in the air. Hugs to all missing loved ones.

We exchange cards, we do each other little good things throughout the year, so no big Valentine event.

We exchange cards, and have a meal deal.

We first exchanged Valentine's card a week after we met, 51 years ago. We gave each other identical cards which must have been an omen!
Yikes, writing that has made me feel very old.

We swap cards and I bought DH some rude 'Rosie Said' post it notes.

He bought me a lovely plant in a terrarium. Oooops.

Thank goodness we are all different!

I think we need as much as we can to cheer up our lives these days - and if that’s a little bit of ‘commercial tat’ so be it. It can’t hurt and I love that my DDs embrace all the various dates throughout the year. Both DGSs have enjoyed making cards at school to present today.

Yes, we celebrate Valentine's Day.

I agree we need as much cheer as possible.

We don’t do cards or presents but usually take advantage of a Tesco or M&S meal deal.

We always make the effort. My DH got me flowers and is cooking me a lovely dinner. I got him a card and chocolates and made him a smoked salmon breakfast. The sun has come out today so that’s an extra bonus.

Thanks AGA much appreciated 💕

I sent my husband a text making fun of Valentine's Day. Other than that, we don't celebrate. Or, I will find a large purchase item and roll it all together for our anniversary and my birthday, and get that. They are all within 2 months of each other, so it is a good excuse to treat myself.
