You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Arghhhhh, just realised it's tomorrow, not a lot of time to plan, don't want to sit with 100 other couples for the set Valentines menu thing. What's everyone else doing?
Card and my presence is all she needs.......I hope 😆
She's working, I'm going on my bike. It'll be great.
I think the rest of the nation will be settling down to a 'dine in for £20' after watching [i]'50 shades of your husband is secretly hoping this will allow him to introduce a little pron into your bedroom'.[/i]
Bucket of flower from Sainsbury's on the way home tonight and get some smoked salmon in for posh breakfast in bed in the morning.
Just go to the supermarket, buy some nice food an cook it.

excellent work....
Some Springbank 17yr old sherry cask, and some Michel Cluizel chocolates. Oh yes.
Just go to the supermarket, buy some nice food an cook it.
I did this, apart from cook it yet, using recipes from her gluten free cookbook. £40 😯
Asked the wife what she wanted to do with the day & she said bike ride, so thats what we will do!
Nice lunch in local gastro pub. Just so happens they're doing pies at rugby half time. Although she not been fully appraised of this second fact.
Nor playing this bullocks. I'll be nice to her and a cup of tea in bed will help.
Then she can have the day to herself whilst I go round a friends to paint their walls.
she'll be cooking me a full English & I'll be fitting our new cctv set up, who says romance is dead? 🙂
I'm getting up early to actually get a bike ride in*, then she's taking LittleMissMC out for a girly lunch with a friend and her daughter, and MCJnr and I are off to the footy with my dad. Then having my folks round for tea in the evening.
We got out for an nice meal midweek without the kids though.
*have put her card in the drawer with my cycling kit so I hand it over before I leave.....
I'm going for a run. I bought a card for my dad to give mum, otherwise he'd forget.
Explain the meaning of Valentines to me........desperate strangeness for me. Good old fashioned marketing BS
**** all.
We never do.
And why is it always the blokes doing stuff for the women?
Wasn't there a battle for equality a few years ago?
There was a one of planets?
Some generic flowers and a card tomorrow morning. Spend day fixing cars. Waitrose meal thingy for dinner.
I am absolutely not going out for dinner on Valentine's, it's THE WORST night to do that. Closely followed by NYE. Awful set menu bucket catering plus the pressurised expectation that you must enjoy yourself.
We're going out for a curry on Tuesday instead. Sorted.
Going out in the evening to see a band, we love live music so it's a winner
sending 300 stalkerish cards to random people.....
I've bought a card 🙂
....was I supposed to do something else? 😉
Admitted to not getting a card. I appear to have got away with it.
Apparently its a morning thing rather than a day thing, nice bunch of flowers have been ordered from her favourite florist but figured it would be easy enough to pock them up on the way home from the Sunday morning non pub ride.
On reflection, maybe a card would have been good for the morning.
Ya live and learn!
Getting a new boiler fitted.
I thought birthdays and Valentine's Day were guaranteed "cuddle" days. I was wrong... I got a well placed punch in the groin area! Who said love is dead. I am going out on my bike.
Our first year together, we went out to a romantic film(reservoir dogs) and sushi. Obviously worked as we have been together 18 years. 😀
First valentines with a new girlfriend, never really bothered before so was a little bemused on how high to set the bar.
Ended up researching romantic fiction for a character with the same name as her, I bought 11 books, I scan read each book to find a page with the words I wanted to say in the right order, tore the pages out. Then I read each page properly for context, highlighted the words I wanted and framed it.
I presented it this morning, got a Graze box and an awesome card in return. Now I'm in work, trying to learn how to vlookup.
Well I gave up in the end I got the Wife a card.

Read that as 'hookup', which didn't seem to be in the spirit of Valentines. 🙂
I got her a card, she forgot. Married 20 years.

You only think you've got away with it, one day maybe in 20 years you'll find out you didn't 🙂
Aldi have a dozen roses for a fiver, go on- spoil her 😉
I have a M&S meal with my special friend, and after she will let me rub her feet.. it could be worse..
And why is it always the blokes doing stuff to the women?
Not in our house.
You backed the wrong horse 😉
And why is it always the blokes doing stuff for the women?
March 14th is for the blokes 😉
Nothing says I love you like a bunch of pissed off looking men buying supermarket flowers and cards on the 13th....
It was utterly depressing to witness, and far worse, I then joined in.
I did however get some nice crystal whisky glasses given to me so I also feel a bit guilty! Might have to have a bit of spit n chafe later on. It's compulsory right?
Or the trolley jack! 😀Aldi have a dozen roses for a fiver, go on- spoil her
Flowers bought and I'm making her cheesecake later. I look on it as an investment against possible future misdemeanours.
Being specifically reminded to buy flowers or chocolate or tuppin' togs seems the complete opposite of romanticism to me.
Nice bottle of Talisker Storm for me - apparently it was on special offer 😆
Bugger all! We went out for a ride, then back home for leftover cannelloni and a cuppa. I wouldn't have him any other way 😀

In 20 years she may have to dig me up to tell me.

Erm... It doesn't work like that.

Good luck with that reasoning.
I'm supposed to feel guilty that I did nothing and she made cupcakes. Nope!
Makes up for getting shit all on fathers day last year. *Sighs*
Spent the day doing loads of cool things. Arrived home and she decided to **** off to a friend's house.
I cooked the stuff I bought the other day, reasonable successfully, as per the poetry thread 🙂
Am yet to see the underwear, as per the poetry thread 🙁
And we took the kids bowling. Just like our very first date, except instead of a three year old being massively impressed, we had a fourteen year old kicking both our arses at bowling.
Lunch in the local, a circuit of Bredon Hill, back home for a Fargo marathon washed down with reliable if overpriced franchised pizza. It was the perfect anglo-american pairing 🙂
Had a nice meal, couple of nice pints and a bottle of Veuve. Best bit about the day was our ride around the Wakerley woods.
Bought roses, chocolates and a teddy online.
Made a romantic meal and afterwards went for a walk. Surprised her with dessert in the park.
Body massage with lavender ho hum.
Que the romantic music.
