[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.
