but nothing says Valentine’s day like a clean oven after a cooked brunch
Don't know what that is but it sounds filthy
Never forget it, just ignore it.
Managed to nip to the shops before she remembered this morning and got her favourite chocolates, no card as they are considered a waste of time. She was happy as she knows I love her all year round and said she wasn't expecting anything extra to show it. Happy days.
You can, but we ended up calling it toffee.
A fair point, well made, but not this year: it came out great. Fudge, a card, and some flowers: win win win.
There was a lot of forlorn looking blokes in Morrisons today at 3:45. Not a single flower or flowering pot left. I hope their sofas are comfortable... 🤣

Reality though not one I'd much want to share. We accidentally got a meal out on valentine's night a couple of years ago, we'd sat down before we realised with a sinking feeling what night it was when we realised the place was full of (other) couples, we needed to eat so stayed. I'm really not saying we're better/have a better relationship than those couples for whom valentine's is a thing (I don't want to tempt fate...) Just that it doesn't look very enviable.
Ignored it as usual. Total rubbish.
When I first met my other half about 7 years ago, I didn't know which direction to take Valentines, we'd spoken about it being daft going to huge expense. It was more important to show you'd made an effort.
Cue me doing a whole load of research looking for romantic novels which had a character called Sarah. (There's loads with characters called Louise surprisingly).
I bought 7 of these books second hand from various places and scan read them until I found a page where the words 'I love you Sarah' were in the right order but not together in one phrase. I got my favourite highlighter, tore the page out and framed it.
Thought I was on to a romantic winner there, but the look of 'WTF' was recognisable from 200yds. I got some Graze boxes and a reach round.
Bizarrely she's got more romantic as the years have gone on, I got a book printed with all our emails from Match etc. yesterday. She got flowers.
What is she doing for you?
valentine's day - what a load of commercialised bollox. I suggest telling your wife you love her more often then she won't feel the need to get gifts on one particular day of the year.
