[Closed] C'mon then, what are you all doing for Valentines

**** all this year. I remember the days of flowers, presents, softly-lit meals for 2 followed by 12 hours of sweaty passion.

Nothing like 6 months sleep deprivation from a small child to kill off any sign of romance. Certainly more than an overpriced card and a bunch of roses will cure.

Roll on next year....

I might let her have sex with me, if she cooks me a nice meal 😆

Parents evening :(.

Followed by drive home shoudl get there about 9.30. JOy!

Surely tangfastics + fumble = 😯

My son and I are getting our hair cut.

I found a card from Mrs Feet this morning when I got up and left one for her when she got up.

Tonight I have a league badminton match to play

Is Mrs Feet plays her cards right, I'll try not to snore tonight

Getting a new clutch fitted.

And no, that's not a euphemism.

Nothing, it's my wife's birthday on Sunday so we never celebrate Valentines but we do make a fuss on the 17th!

I got a packet of tangfastics and a fumble this morning

Result! I had to get up early to go for a blood test (for diabetes).

We're not bothered by the whole silly commercial nonsense, but I will be getting some nice hand made chocs for the weekend, as it's something we can enjoy together. And I'll be fitting a new tyre to her bike. Who said romance is dead?

[i]I want stories, I want tragedy and triumph[/i]

I'll open the door on my house with my key. Drop off my son's football boots. Stroke the dog. Say hello.
And leave. Walk back to my rented property down the road to spend the evening alone.

How's that?
(I'm ok about it, really.)

Have got some new handlebars & grips to fit and the gears need fettling so that's tonight taken care of

And who says romance is dead eh

went for a bike ride earlier 🙂

I've already got the ingredients for her fav dinner, is a spanish cassorole thingy. chocolates, nutella, I'm buffed, polished, trimmed, shaved and plucked.

Tangfastics 🙄

Soz DezB, sounds shit d'you want a virtual hug?

crying myself to sleep.

I got a packet of tangfastics and a fumble this morning

A fumble?

Is that one of those big pink and white foam sweets? Ooh I love them.

Dez - hang in there. The bad days will get fewer, honestly.

We swapped cards this morning with my wife receiving her favourite box of chocolates :D.A nice 25 miles under blue sky this morning, a bit of work now and then a quiet evening in.

I got up and made her a cup of tea this morning, on the way back up got the kids and gave them a couple of cards (one from me, one from them full of that annoying glittery stuff) and a present. Queue excitement about present as we don't really get/give them any more, she opened it up and it was.......................................... a packet of Thomas the Tank Engine extra track. The boys were very excited!

We shall be sharing our colds with each other.

Getting a new clutch fitted.

And no, that's not a euphemism.

That's tickled me. 😆

Thank you, I'm happy to get a hug 🙂 But I am ok, really!

Ummm, going to the gym, then home to my cat, where I might just open a nice bottle of Pinot Grigio and watch Bridget Jones just to really make sure I fit the stereotype 😆

I'm off out to build some wheels at a mates. Every day is valentines married to me...

[i]Is that one of those big pink and white foam sweets? Ooh I love them.[/i]

me too 😉

I took my wife a cup of tea in bed this morning. No cards or anytinh like that....I may get her some flowers on the way in....I think that she's still got some though.

😆

I've missed a trick here. I should have done the same, with some Scalextric track/cars (it's for the children of friends and family who visit, honest).

I'm buffed, polished, trimmed, shaved and plucked.

I might check I've got no dirt under my nails.

Wife's just informed me a friend of hers is staying over tonight. I may go to the pub. Is there any football on tonight?

I was in M&S last night and for some reason thought it was too early to buy a card / roses, so didn't bother and just got dinner. This morning I realised that probably wasn't the best forward planning......

I went to see her in hospital again today, might do tomorrow too if she's really lucky.

Out riding with the lads tonight as usual. She told me I'd look a wuss if I told them I wouldn't be out tonight. And she doesn't like the idea of having a wussy husband. We'll go somewhere nice at the weekend.

mrs_oab is 400 miles away 🙁

Got messed about by a girl over xmas/new years time so tonight me and my single mates are hopefully just gonna go out drinking and hope for the best 😆

Presented OH this morning with a bunch of snowdrops stolen from a verge, in an empty McDonald's coffee cup.

Cat wet the bed.

Your girlfriend is called Catherine?

Night ride,flat cross country with a few small ups and downs.
Just getting things charged up.

Going out for a meal.... next week.

Don't like going out on valentine's day - restaurants ruined by loads of couples lined up and crappy set menus.

Dave

I don't usually bother with Valentines yet my girlfriend has already cost me my Easton havoc handlebar fund and i've still got to pay for the meal tonight. Is there no mercy?

Made her tea and breakfast in bed this morning.

Cooking pizza tonight (being super organised, the dough is already resting in the fridge).

Housework done.

If she's really lucky I won't moan about how I always make breakfast, cook dinner and do the housework like every other day*.

*this is usualy followed or preceeded by her making the same complaint, despite when pressed admiting that the last cup of tea she made was a fortnight ago, and the only houseowrk she's done in the last week is to load and unload the washing machine on monday night.

I had to get up early to go for a blood test (for diabetes).

Rather worryingly you are my missus and I claim my £5?

Wife's just informed me a friend of hers is staying over tonight.

This is either really good, or really bad.

RM.

go out drinking and hope for the best

Other wise known as the blessed release of death.

Going to see Frightened Rabbit, they will only be in town every so often, I am at least taking the wife though (and a few other friends actually). Luckily we aren't sloppy romantics!

Will cook something lovely for my boys (all of the small son variety), and then i will probably be knitting - unless i get a sudden burst of energy in which case i may get a babysitter and go for a night ride.

What's not to love about that 🙂

I got my flowers on Tuesday as I should have been in hospital this morning recovering from yesterdays shoulder reconstruction, however it got cancelled due to lack of beds. Got my card this morning and Kevin has a table booked at Greenhead House for tonight. At least I'll be able to cut my food

Was going to cook something nice but the missus suggested we get a takeaway. Bought a nice bottle of Prosecco to go with it. Now she tells me she's on a diet so booze and takeaway are off the menu.

Soppy card (with sweeties on it) roses & nice perfume this morning.

No idea what to get her though.

She actually got me a bottle of Balvenie. 😀

Nice home cooked (by me) meal tonight & out to a restaurant on Sunday.

Going to see Frightened Rabbit

🙂

[i]OOoo you lucky peeps ,just waiting for Pedestrian Verse to arrive in the post [/i]

I unblocked the downstairs loo after she bunged it up.

I am nothing if not romantic.

Sat in bed with my three girls this morning to open the four cards I got - and let the little two open the ones they had already told me all about anyway.

I got my wife a little bit of chocolate (and bought her some flowers earlier in the week because she was feeling down due to a bad cold).

To top it off we are having a Tesco shop delivered tonight.

I've made the ultimate sacrifice. No night ride for me tonight. Though I had to remind some of the lads why. Some of who aren't even married, so there's no excuse 😉

Took my beautiful other half a brew and card in bed this morning, and left her dozing in bed. Its her day off. The jammy sod! We shall be having a lovely, thoroughly unhealthy meal tonight, then nipping down to the local for a few beers. We're at that age where that is pretty much the perfect evening 😀

Nowt, never bother with it but as I was passing the handmade chocolate shop I've picked a few up.

Had lunch with the lovely MrsC and then she cooked me a nice steak dinner this evening accompanied with a lovely bottle of red...couldnt help thinking of the night ride I could have been on:)

I'm off work today. I was full of good intentions this morning - thought I'd go and get some nice fresh ingredients and cook my lovely wife the same meal as the very first meal I made her when we were first dating. So far I've been for a run - spent about 2.5hrs on here - Watched Mr Nice on DVD - fettled with my bike and taken it for a quick 8 mile spin - and drunk about 6 cups of coffee.

Good job I never told her of my "plans". Good job she likes takeaways. 🙂

On a vaguely Valentiny note, this just made me smile.....

And they say romance is dead 😉

Not even close binners!

(no sausages 🙂 )

We went for a walk along Rochdale Canal for our first date. 😀
After meeting at the Beer House.

Passed by STW Towers and the Sewage Farm.

The smell of partly composted human faeces always takes me right back. 🙂

Waiting for her to go into labour for me, today is the due date. Bad timing as I haven't been able to sign up for Hit the North at the weekend either 😥

Spicy takeaway for tea to try and get things started although I would like to finish decorating the other 2's bedroom before the birth!

Riding my bike seems like a distant memory at the moment.

😀

You not HtNing Saturday Russ?

Took the good lady out last weekend so out riding this tonight with the boys!.. Cant wait![IMG] [/IMG]

Well I was organised for once and bought a single red Rose last night and left it in the freezing garage until around about 11pm. Then I places it nicely in the kitchen with a card, wife always gets up first. Anyway, rose had frozen in the garage and bringing into the kitchen it turned into a Gothic nightmare rose ! by morning, fortunately she saw the funny side.

Then a Nice lunch at a posh restaurant , before picking the kids up.... 😀

As a special treat my partner has suggested a Valentine's day role-play threesome.

Some guy from her work is going to be the 'burglar'. He's going to sneak in, overcome me and lock me in the wardrobe, and then tie the missus down and ravage her senseless.

i'm at work tonight, so might treat myself to a posh w**k in one of the traps 😆

I'm going doing my mates mrs while he's working later

Made biscuits last night, gave them to her this morning.

Loads of brownie points 🙂

Ohh, and Giantx4 - you want to be making sure you don’t end up with penetrating damp having those logs piled up against your wall like that. 😉

Did brekkie in bed for the missus this morning, delivered with flowers and card.

Left for work before she got downstairs and found her present.

Well, we did need a new food processor. And I tied a red bow around it.

I got a card made by my son (and childminder) – to both of us, and she had taught him to say “happy alentines”.

On my way to work I saw a car with an on-one on the roof, bloke dropping kids off at school, he was all dressed for riding.. I thought to myself that he had his valentines day sorted 😆

Absolutely nothing. We're not religious.
We both say if you can't show love every day what is the point of being togeher.

Valentine's Day - never got the hang of it.
You buy your significant other a box of things to make them fat and a bunch of things they can watch die.
Such a perfect metaphor for love!

She's going to let me watch the Newcastle v Metalist game tonight on ESPN and make my tea for me, because I have a broken ankle and cant do owt for myself. She's not aware of this as yet but I will let her know when she gets in from work 😀

"Don't we, Roy?"

Night ride with married/attached mates.. last of the great romantics them, eh!? 😆

A girl I've been on a few dates with has asked me round for dinner...apparently she'll be wearing stockings, and a new dress...Should be a good night!

"Don't we, Roy?"

MrsBouy got an early phone call this morning, she then preceded to sing "I Love You" 20 times in Spanish to me, I then retorted the same in German. Bless the Girlie she's working away.. 😉

She's a beaut this one. 😉 😉

However, we often do this when were apart so I'm not too sure it counts as a Valentines Day treat.

We will however make it up at the weekend.

Ouch....issues...

The depth of the romance knows no bounds, I've bought her some marmite* 😆 listen v carefully at about 6, you'll probably hear the squeal from where you are....

*not allowed normally as it's clearly disgusting and wrong

Only with the "Great Clinton Cards Conspiracy". 😀

Made her tea and breakfast in bed this morning

Mrs Feet would be livid if I did that. She'd much rather I made her breakfast in the kitchen then took it up to her

"Don't we, Roy?"
