What Are You Doing For Valentine's Day?

[Calicogirl]

I'm doing a big fat nothing romantic (although I know I have got something because I've been told not to touch something until tomorrow, and I'm excited about that) because my other half is away, but what are you romantic passionate folks doing for your loved ones, or are you of the opinion it's all a load of commercial twaddle?

[ducksie]

I think it's a load of commercial twaddle, back in my day (slap myself of wrist for saying that) we went to a dance on Valentine's night, might get a few hand made cards from 'secret admirers', usually my brothers to be sure I was not left out :) for the real romantics, it was maybe a chance for a proposal but that was it. My Dad used to bring chocs to my Mam, she shared them with us

I shall be doing nothing special not even buying an ironing board cover
we are going on holiday Friday morning so flowers/cards will not be seen and will be wasted
however we shall both go to a shop where these things are sold and point out to each other the biggest prettiest bunch of flowers and say probably in unison I thought about getting you this bunch . then we will pick the most expensive card in the shop and say I thought about this one for you!
oh how we laugh year in year out .......

[ummmm]

Nothing :-)

My male friend is cooking us a meal, but he does that often anyway ! We will probably exchange funny cards, not soppy ones !

[queenofmean]

He’s working and I’ll be working selling cards etc to the masses. I’ll bring the ice-Cream Calico, girls night?

We will do our own thing at the weekend. He’s getting a balloon, Big Spoon Little Spoon pillow cases and a game for the PS4.

...what am i doing, heading to Dublin for a meeting, one I'm not looking too forward to - if it goes well, I'm coming home to pop open a bottle of champers I've had on ice since Christmas :)

Blood tests in the morning, pick up scripts in the afternoon.
Seriously considering giving Mrs T an hour off her domestic chores to demonstrate my love for her.

I was going to take a day off and go buy my wedding dress and visit my grandparents, but work is getting in the way so that may be postponed until Friday.

Mr BM is off out tomorrow night (it's a regular Thursday thing for him) so I imagine, absolutely nothing.

But he shows me he loves me every day. Well most days. OK some days. OK, in reality I prefer the cat ;)

[Rockrose]

I’m having a riding lesson followed by dinner at a Michelin mentioned restaurant

[gness]

Then I hope it does go well for you, Ducksie and I hear that cork popping..... Gx

Me?....Well I'm sort of confined to the house for a week....more for vanity than anything else so Dave will make do with a smile and an offer to cook which he will decline.... :-)

i suppose postie will be making a detour to my house first to unload the sackful of 'secret admirer' cards

[-Talbot-]

Sending a huge card and a big bunch of roses and then out for a romantic dinner on Friday.

[Patsy33]

Nothing as far as I know.
I might buy myself a bottle of processco.
My OH hasn't a romantic bone in his body!...

[Theland]

Oh dear. Don't know what happened there. A repeat.

Anyway, may get a Valentines card, write a lovely poetic message, and post it to, "Naomi, Answerbank."
Hope she gets it. Along with the wine.

[Patsy33]

Proseco, even.! :-)

[retrocop]

Commercial twaddle.

Blue Nun!

Retro - Embrace the love!

Thanks Gness :) you haven't caused yourself a visible injury have you -don't answer ;)
RR I know you'll enjoy that lesson, you've been so looking forward to it - I like the sound of heading to the restaurant later :)
ummmm, you'll do something,not related to the themed day no doubt but you will do something :)
BM - I think all of you usual Thursday night 'widows' should meet up tomorrow night for a bit of an oul hooly :)
Q0M and Calico should also have a meet up - eat some ben and jerrys and watch a movie
