Valentines Day

Every year for the last 25 years or so I've spent an hour making a Valentine's card for my wife. There's usually not too much to be had in terms of materials knocking around the house and, frankly, it's difficult to come up with new ideas.

This year she's being presented with ... errr ... a washing line hung between 2 cacti :o



C- could try harder.
 
9:30 in the office at one of the girls has had a dozen roses delivered, congratulations, schoolyard 'ahhhh's and piercing glares ensue.

Its odd working in this office during certain times of the year. The very high female to male ratio makes days like Valentines day as celebrated as Christmas it seems. Instead of good morning, everyone has been greeting people with 'Happy Valentines!'

I am not going to lie, its been interesting to see the behaviour of the main office from my little room. Though i prefer bakeoff time when every day for the next few weeks one of the girls bring in a few cakes. Early summer is the worst, when they all decide to starve themselves on diets in preparation for warm weather... there is never any cake around that time :(

Made a card for the missus last night, not because I'm overly thoughtful, because I was planning to buy one during lunch yesterday but foolishly opted to work from home. We'll be doing the M & S meal deal tonight and either watching a film or having an early night, oh do behave etc.
 
can't stand it.. but my gf insist on this being important and she cares about it too much.. I have yet to get anything for her tho :o might have to pop down to sainsburys and buy chocolate.

durderpdur.
 
I bought the wife a nice bouquet of flowers at the weekend but I buy here flowers regularly anyway. I don't need a retail driven day to tell her or show her how much I love her.
 
Neither me nor the misses can stand in, however, tomorrow I'll be jumping on some reduced price bargains to woo her. ;).
 
I usually play footie on Tuesday's so giving that up and watching Game of Thrones on the couch.

Why didn't anyone tell me before that there's so much boobage on GoT? :cool:

Luckily my girl is in Philippine :) so don't have to buy anything this year. She has to be in the country to get a pressie, themz the rulez.
 
Two for Tuesday at Dominos and a free sub at Subway when you buy a drink. It is a good day to get fat.

Happy Valentines Day!
 
usual hide stuff away from the missus then see her face as she finds it.we met on valentines 19 yrs ago.so its kinda important :p
 
Card giving this morning before we got up for work, a few cheeky messages between each other this afternoon & we're off out this evening for dinner.

Nothing new or original but then as others have said I don't need a specific day in the year to tell or show my wife I love her.
 
Hot off the press real life story incoming:

I had a haircut today and they made the usual small talk including ask are you doing anything this evening for Valentines day? (I'm fairly certain that wasn't a proposition). Anyway, they were having a good laugh as apparently when they said that to a guy shortly before me he allegedly did a double take on the date and then legged it without waiting for his haircut. Maybe the penny had dropped as to why the mood had been so frosty at breakfast :D
