How do you celebrate (if at all)?

Last year we went a bit mad and did the whole romantic night away thing and presents but that was our first Valentine's Day together.  This year we've opted for just cards.  Of course this is after hounding my dear husband to find out what he had planned, and after about a week of him refusing to say (causing me to suspect a wonderful surprise) he hits me with "Valentine's Day is card's only"  Suits me though as I would be struggling to think of a Valentine friendly gift for him...

I understand the point of view that Valentine's Day is just another money making ploy for various industries but would be more interested to hear from the romantics amongst you.....

 im making jennifer a 3 course meal , a card , a box of choccies and a bottle of sparkling wine or something , should be romantic enough by my standards , can boldie cook ?? lol

Driving up to Walsall with Kirsty in the morning, am treating her to a fry up in the local cafe before we set off. Will make her a card out of an A4 sheet of paper, (like the personal touch?) prior to setting off. Get to the village hotel early afternoon and i'm gonna let her go swimming while i sit on the side. ( i can't swim) Afterwards we will take a romantic stroll to the casino to check on how things are going with Rob Garfield & the blondes in day 1a. Then off to Nando's in Wolverhampton. I've checked, its only 6 miles away and then back to retire for an early night. Well, an early night for her, i'm hoping to play the £100 freezout on thursday night. What an old romantic i am eh?

Damn,could have saved myself a fortune!

I don't expect anything special this Valentines day - Matt is romantic all the time :D

i'm cooking the missus dinner 364-1 ain't bad....

We don't really do Valentines, cards over priced, flowers, well ..I only get them when I am in Hospital. I start work at 05 50 on the 14th then 5 am on the 15th , so cant see much time for little more that a quick fumble.

Quick, find the one with him in a bra & panties.

ooooh - maybe I'll get some nice undies then.  After the subtle hints didn't get through I made a less subtle hint the other week.  I've since stopped after Matt declared to the whole of Debenhams that I 'look better naked anyway'  ;ashamed;....see, told you he was romantic!

valetines day is the reason i have stayed single for so long

as a scot i refuse to have to buy yet another present

for a made up day

I'm glad no one celebrates by having sex, I wouldn't want Dana getting any silly ideas.

That's what birthdays are for.

don't you mean christmas?

dont be going getting any ideas now untill i can find a cage for matt

Over twenty posts before the 'word' is even mentioned in a Valentine's thread! 
I noticed cards were mentioned a bit more.
Still a newbie...not quite sure what to make of that, except that I came to the right forum for cards!

Happiest of Valentine's Day / Night to all, however you chose to celebrate!

You might be right.  Can't remember.

I'm making the beagle celebrate the wonder that is me by dragging him to my gig (at Ginglik in Shepherds Bush if anyone else fancies it; I'm playing with a sort of band, and there'll be djembe and mandolins and three-part harmonies!). He already tried to get out of it by claiming that he was going to be in Walsall, which was I think a lie. His Valentines gift will be a harsh beating, never fear.

FYP

The mrs will get the same as every valentines....nothing.
I can't see the point in the whole load of rubbish, am going to work instead

I may have to suffer Atonement, but the Mrs has a bad back and an appointment at the back doctor at 7:30pm

Therefore, if I can get a babysitter, I may pop down the Western for the freezeout :D

Legendary son .... LEGENDARY !!!


Also quite stunning ... respect is due  :)

So here I am stuck in Germany........
Not easy to be romantic but Ads has the card I made and strict instructions what to do..........
I bought the pressie yonks ago

Just wish I could be at home...........ho hum

Not my Fav topic!  I day is far to overrated in my eyes! Have just blown a S***t load on presents over xmas and along comes another day to rip you off some more!!  Its also a topic of much debate between the missus & I!  She feels I should make the effort as its the one day of the year to be sweapt off her feet......

Along with Aniversarry for, 1st date, 1st Kiss, 1st shagg, 1st walk in the park, 1st ride in the car, 1st walk on the beach, Birthday, Xmas, Easter.............  oh god the days go on and on........   ;tracet;

in my youth they were the same day

Thank you for your posts everyone - it's all making quite interesting reading

Now that Boldie has some ideas from this thread (good and bad) I'm not quite sure how it's going to turn out - but I think some previous posts have convinced him to cook at least! 

I must admit, I'm rather cynical about Valentine's day as well and the Mister is actually quite romantic the rest of the year - but I can never say no to a bit more romance, no matter what the excuse.....

Have a nice day tomorrow anyway everyone - even if it's just cos it's nearer the weekend...

excuse me for a minute while i throw up

Must be the mixture of birthday cake and Easter eggs.........

Nice meal tomorrow, nothin OTT...

We're heading up to Galway tomorrow with the kids and some friends of ours...staying here:

http://www.shannonoaks.ie/lodges.php

We've stayed there in the past and had a fabulous time.  Spa treatments, walks in the woods and swims in the pool...happy days. 

I wont play World of Warcraft or poker so I can spend quality time with the wife watching tv :P

Soppy get.

What about boldie?

Get your coat!

Sort some sort of flowers out. Buy card.

Booked restaurant, chinese obv, nothing Claire gets more excited by than watching me stuffing crispy duck into my face. Followed by drinks at pub, where I will destroy her at pool as usual but possibly as a special treat wont 7 ball her every frame...

All very standard and traditional so far, may break up the routine by delivering flowers and card dressed up as a ninja turtle. Can't be bothered (too cheap) to rent costume so turtle disguise will consist of putting a tie round my head as a bandana, shouting "cowabunga " as I give over flowers and sticking an eggshell to my back with sellotape.

sigh ... another good one lost to the dark side !

Methinks Kev doth protest too much. Bet he's got a hot bath, candles, soothing music & bottle of champers for Ginger to enjoy, while Kex cooks a totally indulgent dinner for her (making a salad for himself).

Have I pulled?

why make all the effort once a year .... ;)

how many blonde engagements are wee going to see anounced on forum tomorrow

monkey and claire, kiv and purple, and dont forget compo and tikay

Many a sailor if you believe the Navy's website.

;envious;

My clinic is turning into a non valentines persons clinic tomorrow. Until this week, tomorrow was completely unbooked because you shouldn't have any alcohol for at least 24 hours after a treatment. So all our bookings for tomorrow are for people who are not celebrating valentines, we are completely full.

Each time someone books I ask them if they should be having the treatment as they need to avoid alcohol and it is Feb 14th. Everytime there is a little sigh and they confirm their booking.

My clinic beautician has a stalker (seriously nutty ex boyfriend who leaves love notes around the clinic for her etc etc)  so we're expecting lots of flowers for her tomorrow from him, along with singing telegrams and anything else he can think of to get her attention, so while all these single people come in trying to avoid valentines there will probably be a singing gorrilla pledging undying love to her in the waiting room. Should be interesting..... ::)

I think you're spot on Rod - but I reckon he'll probably throw in some rose petals..........

Ive bought the Mrs a card for 79p from the Co Op.

It has the refreshingly romantic message......

What is sexy, great in bed and can speak French.

Moi

She better like it.

That's quite good..make it women only and change your slogan on Valentines day to "Colonic Irrigation; Hey, At least you'll get one hole filled!"

I know what I'm not doing tomorrow :(  Still, it's money saved I guess.   It's all come around a bit quick for me, I'd forgotten about it until about 20 mins ago when I realised I'd planned nothing - oops.

I'll grab some flowers on the way home tomorrow (if the man in the layby is still there ;) )

I have bought Mrs Indy a Man City T Shirt. Only £5 in the sales, a bargain and thankfully for another two weeks she can wear it with pride, even if she is a Liverpool fan.  :D

Balls ... I backed the fav ...

1/4 Indy gives the Mrs a signed photo of himself
6/4 he gives her a City top


I RUN BAD !!

 rotflmfao rotflmfao POTW

She already has the first one.
 :D

If anybody wants to give signed photos of me I'll happily oblige...

I'm thankfully single this year. Last year I took her to (and in) barcelona and watched sunset from the top of the sagrada familia.

Sigh..now that is romantic.

Single? Did you throw her off the top?

lol no, I abandoned her in las ramblas where she was sold into slavery....

actually she didn't want to move to gibraltar, and i didn't want to move back to the UK, so we kind of grew apart, then she started sending weird texts to my mum and sister and female friends - so I tagged her under bunny boiler and moved on........ and then i moved back to the UK anyway.....

So who are you suzanne? And are you anyone's other half? I spent most of saturday night drunkenly chatting up a selection of spoken-for ladies and it was pinfully embarassing the next day when I had to apologise to people I knew......

Well, I have to say I have been given a fabulous Valentine's Day full of glorious and romantic surprises including a beautiful card and original poem, a fabulous romantic book, the most glorious declaration of love in sculpture form and the buy-in to tonight's tourney at DtD.  In addition I was given the most wonderful shout-out on a fave programme and the original poem was to have been published but for a slip-up by the publishers.........the day, from start to almost finish, has been brilliant and we rounded it off with a delicious meal at DtD.

Many, many thanks, Bainn, (and all my Love), for really making me feel so special. :-*

So in the end he bought me flowers on the 13th, I woke up to a beautifully worded card yesterday and was cooked a lovely meal last night.........  Made my little card and box of chocolates for him look quite pitiful........

Hope you all had a nice day - even if it was Valentine-free.

More importantly, did anyone get any???

 ;carlocitrone;

Back of the net...

Game abandoned due to lack of interest from the opposition

Yes thanks - smashing it was too :D

PS I think you've pulled, Suzanne ;)

A romatic meal followed by candle lit bath and wine , plenty of dessert  ;)
