What are all you guys expecting the missus to do? Card, flowers. romantic meal?
Here the missus is on call so I reckon I'll have a 6 pack and watch some winter olympics while she goes off to deal with a dog with the shits...
(it's the 14th here already)
Nowt never done anything for years as it's just commercial bullshit.
mrs aracer suggests I go to "singles night" at the climbing wall (not as seedy as it sounds - a session for those people who don't have a climbing partner to belay them).
Just poked Mrs C in the head to make sure she was awake.
Got punched.
'Happy Valentine's".
End.
Love you.

I've just finished lovingly making a card of my own design for Mrs mW. Just in case anyone is unsure, this means that I've just won valentines day. 😉
this means that I've just won valentines day
Awesome 😀
Flowers delivered to work.... a few quid and about 2 mins worth of effort online. I would suggest that on a cost/benefit basis, this is a no brainier.
Completely agree about the whole overly-commercialised, "hallmark-day" arguements...... but it's possible to be right, and still lose 😀
Flowers, card & lunch. Wife at the office tomorrow & I start nights . Nothing fancy for us.
She got a bar of 74% dark chocolate yesterday and some flowers.
"why do I get flowers?"
"because it't not Valentine's day"
win-win

...and on VD I'm sending flowers to my mistress
Ive treated my hands to some moisturiser if that counts.
Nice diner and some wine.
I've seen it in the fridge.
nice one luke!
It seems now that for extra points you must take a photo and show on social media that you given a gift...
I may need an extra bucket.
I am at football training tonight with the kids so last night we had a nice meal and a few glasses of wine and started watching the Breaking Bad dvd she gave me for Christmas (think I am going to enjoy that, not sure how it passed me by). Gave her a card and some flowers.
Bottle of fizz which we can both enjoy and a card. We're having a weekend away on our own next weekend to avoid all the over hyped bollocks and expense!
I've received a card and a very nice bottle of red, in exchange I'm cooking her a fancy meal later. This works as I love both wine and cooking, she too loves wine and indeed eating.
I'm expecting her to arrive back from her week away with friends at some point this morning while I'm at work & deal with the washing up and hoovering.
I'm more likely to get a sarcastic text and the chance to do it myself when I get home from work
Still, taking her out for dinner tonight and have even sortd a taxi so we can both have a drink, that will help!
Got mrs b 2prs of socks.

This.
It's utter utter nonsense.
No idea what St Valentine's is all about

Thought it was for singletons, when did it become something married folk did?
Dinner then climb inside her and take her to heaven and back
Woof!
😯then climb inside her
Card and out for diner.
God I love being single 😀
Bar of choccy each. would have been easier to buy our own as we have now swapped.
The worst thing is, the wife doesn't subscribe to my cynicism so she doesn't share my anti-capitalist sentiments, she just thinks I'm a ****!!!
Only just met her two weeks ago, so got to figure out something that whilst endearing, also sets the expectation-bar low for future efforts...
It's a science. 8)

Good luck on that one, I'm still paying for my overly romantic effort 17 years ago 🙁
Pfff. Get you pseudo-romanticisers.
I gave my OH a new hair-dryer, she gave me a kettle. It's as if there's a constant Barry White soundtrack playing in the background at our place!
Disclaimer: I actually bought both at the supermarket last night to replace the said household items that have both died on their arses in the last week.
He's doomed Mogrim, doomed I tell you.
I appear to be engaged.
Do I win?

Congratulations! (Commiserations?)
Gave her 20 B&H and a 4 pack of cider. Tonight, the golden arches. Sorted.

Congratulations! That's a bit of an extreme way of getting out of buying a card and flowers mind.

Secretly booked the day off work, then left as normal to return with flowers 5 mins later.
Secretly bought the best of my wifes handmade cards as a surprise.
Now taking the nipper to soft play together. Who says romance is dead 🙂

Depends if you meant it or were making excuses for not getting flowers
A nice quiet table for two later this evening............I hope she likes playing snooker
Congrats Cougar.
My youngest Daughter has just received a card and single rose from the boy down the street, they're both 7.
Bought a card (only a couple of quid so less than a pint - hardly being done over by the greetings cards industry). Tonight we are going to make homemade biscuits with a bottle of something nice together. It's just about spending fun time together for me.
I'm single, so it'll be a couple of beers and watching "battlefield LA" once I've put the bike back together. All very romantic
First class flight to New York leaving in two hours from Manchester. Just about to tell her to pack a weekend bag and grab her passport, for a weekend of top restaurants, culture and shopping.
Well I was going to. But then she said she'd booked us in to the pub down the road for a meal tonight, so I cancelled it all so as not to make her feel bad. I even got her a card, and everyfink 😀

Congrats! I think. 😉
Got her a card and some flowers and we've booked into the pub restaurant down the road. Food is really good and we'e been saying we should go, as we haven't been for ages. So, a good excuse for a nice meal and some beers, really!!
Only thing is, my Wife has got a stinking cold which isn't great.
Balls, had forgotten.
Quick call to the Mrs;
Me: A hoy hoy, fancy being my Valentines?
Mrs: Yeah, OK.
Me: Cool. Fancy a snog later?
Mrs: Yeah, OK. Don't forget we've friends over this weekend. We've a fun night of cleaning tonight. Then you can have a snog.
Me: Hmmm, I'll pass, thanks.
I now know what Jehovah feels like at Christmas
