gooner.girl Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 OH sent me 2 cards(!) lovely flowers and a box of chocolates and has bought my favourite food for dinner. The little boys at work kept giving me 'valentines hugs' today. Bless... Hummmm. My best valentines day present was probably a pair of trainers from an ex (i'm easily pleased!) Although another ex did write me a very romantic Valentines poem once.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooner.girl Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Happy Birthday Susan! I feel very mean - OH gave me a cup of tea in bed, followed by a lovely mushy card and a big box of Thorntons. What did I get him? Nothing! I'm convinced that we discussed it last year and agreed not to bother this year! Think I've got some serious grovelling to do! now that's a very old and mean trick - agree not to buy stuff - and then one of them buys stuff - below the belt that one!! Phil Been caught out that way before, yourself eh Phil?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil I'm sure that's what we agreed - but I think that HE thinks I would've been upset if he hadn't got me anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cate in NZ Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I've just found out that son sent a valentine Didn't recieve one though so the subject of his affections didn't deem him worthy of a card. How could she Now I'm playing Mummy detective........... so curious to find out who he sent it to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chocchick Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 As probably shouldn't join the other valentines thread OH cooked me beef pie from scratch (took him hours and overnight preparation, and used nice farm shop beef and own pastry) I bought a cheesecake I heard his workmate was "cooking" a meal for his girlfriend.... a ready meal we think he was serious as he was saying, well you have to heat it up right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Ooh excellent news Mike, hope you didn't have a hangover today! In the end, me and OH sat and had homemade spag bol (one i had made and put in the freezer) and had a bottle of beer each. Who says romance isn't dead?!

Popcorn Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Like Buff, we don't do gifts, but we do do cards. This year, however, I knew nothing about a surprise meal in a lovely little restaurant down the road, champagne and chocolates...even sorted baby-sitters without me having a clue!
