I got my Wife some steak & mustard crisps. She seemed well pleased.

A card and a bottle of Jura Origin.
Quite happy with that!
Roses are red
Violets are Blue
It's a promise for me
And protection for you
Nerf gun!
'Happy Valentines day pet, love you'
Which she got in return.
That's all it needs. 😀
A grunt.
As I left for work at 07:15 and she snored.

Bacon is also red.
Poems are hard.

I got loads of cards this morning through the post, so if anyone is feeling left out let me know and i can send you one of mine
A homemade cake.
Wiv hearts on.
🙂
Nothing yet!
However I fully expect a rollicking when I get home tonight.
Main reason; I bought her a card (which I left on the Mantel piece before I left for work this morning) and she's got me nothing! It's bound to be my fault 🙄
Cooked breakfast and some tiptree tomato ketchup to dip my sausage in (not a euphemism). Well happy with that.
Coffee in bed.
Card, flowers and some kit from the Polaris sale
We're away at the weekend, so just a card.
I did however get her one of those ENORMOUS cards, with a picture of a cheesy dog picure on it, which was well received, (and surprisingly cheaper than most normal size ones, so win-win!)
Pack of bike trumps cards.
I may get some knee pads for the other half, she doesn't ride bikes but I'm sure they could come in useful.
Nothing - to be expected being single, but later i shall have an evening of pampering myself and may even treat myself to some posh chocolates
A grunt.
I got porn

An early morning FaceTime call from "her up Norf" , the conversation went along the lines of this..
Her "Hey sweetie"
Me Hey, how's you?
"Fine. Can you give that Tarpaulin guy a ring, ask him if a 12mm bolt rope will fit in that track he recommended, I've just measured it and I think it looks a tight fit"
Happy Valentine's Day Pooks
"Oh, erm yes... (silence) sorry darling I forgot, there's some chocolates in your upper cupboard shelf I keep for emergencies.. guess what? It's an emergency.."
Riiiiighty ho, your presents on the side by your lamp.
"Oh, this? I wondered what it was..(silence) .. awe that's lovely thanks darl... don't forget to call the Tarp guy..."
........
Click.
Roses are red
So are my hands
Stop me before I murder again
A card a minature pack of love hearts.
That'll do me.
I got her a tub of local homemade gelato parlour salted caramel ice cream for her to collect later. Hopefully she'll be over the moon with that

I keep meaning to get my wife one of those for lols but not managed it yet.
I got a pair of nice Costa cups to sit on top of my coffee machine and homemade cards from my daughters 🙂
Naff all. She's away, so said not to bother. So I haven't either.
A grunt.
As I left for work at 07:15 and she snored
+1, 6:15am here, but the point still remains.
My wife isn't even here - she's a teacher and it's half-term so she's gone up to our Edinburgh house for the week and left me down in London by myself.
May use my left hand later
A sweaty session on the rollers followed by a scale and polish before work
Card and chocolate (which I've already eaten).
She got a card and x4 Hershey's peanut butter cups (and pancakes for breakfast).

I imagine that is extremely difficult to masturbate to?
Nothing...so far! Ah, wife's just produced a bottle of Prosecco and some chocolates. None of it wrapped and very possibly re-gifts from Crimbo.

That won't be good for you.
Our getting-together anniversary was the tenth, so we don't do Valentines - I did however dig the hybrid out for the first time in months and gave myself the gift of cycling. 🙂
**** all. 😥
Got her a card and going out for a meal later.
Feeling pretty meh and grr about the whole marketing guilt trip, given men are the ones who are made to feel guilty about the whole bullshit.
**** it. **** ALL of it.
👿
Nowt, but after 21 years of marriage, we don't really bother.
Going for a meal here at my mates gaff tonight though. I told him, we'd best have our own table, seeing as it's valentines - Mrs STR wasn't arsed about anything intimate, so we've ended up on a table of 8 mates

...guaranteed wood though.

I thought that was going somewhere else entirely for a minute.
Same as very year, nothing as we don't bother with it as it's tripe.
I did get her a very apt card though.

First time in twenty years my secret admirer didn't send me a card, first my grandma dies and then this , it's been a terrible year !!
I got my wife a really nice bottle of gin, she got me a nice bottle of gin, result we have two quality bottles of gin in cupboard, double winning!
Nothing...again.
Perhaps I should take the hint.
🙁
knack all as usual
we both cant stand it
I got a Manatea 😀 ...

Havent tried it yet
nowt, nothing, zilch.
Valentines day is bollox, I remember when it was about sending a card to someone you fancied. Now it is marketing driven nonsense to shame people into buying force grown overpriced dutch flowers that could be bought for less than half the price a week later.
Being nice to your partner all year round is far better option.
Me and the GF are having takeaway pizza then sitting in a bathtub full of slube which is this stuff which turns your bathtub in a tub full of lube. It's great.

Two things about this.....
1. I fear you may have overshared.
2. Two grown adults, covered in a lubricant, trying to get out of an extremely slippy bathtub?
What could possibly go wrong?
Yeah, it' is pretty dodgy getting back out. We tried it before. I'd never done a forward roll in a bathtub before
Pretty mixed "have received/can't be bothered" responses.
If nothing else today should make you think/wonder/warrant being loved or giving it back.
Whether it's marketing driven or not, a simple couple of words and a hug goes/does far more than some gift, what better gift than acknowledgement?
Enjoy, single or in a relationship.
Nowt, we dont do valentine's - to corporate nowadays. We just choose a (randomn) other day in the year to do gifts. Got tickets for 'limmy' show a few month ago though for this purpose
I'm going to see John Wick tonight. There will be cards and flowers/presents after work as this muppet left his wallet at work yesterday and the card herself ordered hadn't arrived.
We're quite organised us!
later a sauna and a delightful nosh.
She said Happy Valentine's Day on waking and then she said not that I believe in it... we slept in and took the later train..
Valentines day is bollox, I remember when it was about sending a card to someone you fancied.
that's how I met my wife sent her a card and bunch of roses a thousand years ago didn't even know her full address just told the flower shop the apartment building name and he somehow managed to get to the right place.
later a sauna and a delightful nosh.
😯
a delightful nosh
Discretion is the better part of valour, Sir!
a delightful nosh
I hope you bought her knee pads 🙂
Nothing, we don't do it, made up day to sell cards and tat.
Might have a drink later, but equally might not bother.
I reckon Vaseline should hijack the day and do an ad campaign.
8)
Got the Missus a single red rose delivered to her work.. 8)
I wont be getting anything today.. other than maybe a card later..
Im sure the steak she cooks me on march the 14th will be as amazing as ever though! 😆
Where she's from, it's called "Friends day". So she's playing badminton with her friends and I'm off to the pub with a bunch of italians and french.
A card left for me with Vikings box set (more of an 'us' present).
A card and some follows are awaiting her return from work.
Bottle of red with Crispy Peking Duck (nearly typed 'dick'), and assorted chinese snackage later.
Then Blencathra programme on BBC4 at 9 - lovely 😛
You haven't read some of the shed threads then? I reckon there's a few here that would manageI imagine that is extremely difficult to masturbate to?
Obvious trapNaff all. She's away, so said not to bother.
Uh Oh!I haven't either.
Nothing. I ain't giving nuffing, so I'd better not receive anything or it'll be a nightmare not knowing who it's from.
I need someone to go and see La La Land with 😆
I received a card, hadn't bought anything in return so bought coffees on the way to work, everyone likes a coffee in the morning so that was well received.
Will go out later, but have no plans so will likely turn into a pub crawl to home.
Tempted to ask her which she thinks is the more romantic city, Paris or Barcelona, then while she thinks about it tell her not to worry as they are playing each other and it's live on BT Showcase! She wouldn't find that as funny as I would though, so best not.
Anyone using interflora?

Oh, misread...never mind.
Absolutely nothing. 39 years old, never even had a card. Sent a few, sent one this year, but aren't expecting any back.
I gave mr pea a card and he fell back to sleep with it unopened in his hand! My card was in his van so I haven't had anything yet
😀
Nothing - still asleep when I left. I left a card and a love heart on the breakfast counter.
I got:
A card.
Permission to go to the Hicks Lodge Tuesday volunteers session, so I could try hedge laying while she and LittleMissMC got some fresh air as well.
A lift to A&E after a slight error with a billhook.... 😳
Just realised my tuesday night (mtb) ride may be toot serl, ah well...
Used to do the cards thing on the basis: why chance it? She doesn't get me that easy with the 'really don't, it's all bollocks' stuff. But it really is all bollocks, so one year I risked it and nothing bad happened (I say nothing bad. Nothing worse than usual), so that's it.
On the other hand every day's valantine's day in our house. Apart from 14th Feb, obviously, the only night of the year we won't eat out.
we were away, had to eat out and took the VD /champagne option. Just about bearable.)
Apart from the itching? Did the champagne help with that?
ah . just edited that bit off, as it were, on the basis it was close to being a cool story.
gave: 1 card
received: 1 card and some fudge
Profit: some fudge 😀
Apart from the itching? Did the champagne help with that?
And to think it all started with that innocent gesture of giving knee pads as a present. 😛
