  • Hi all,

    Have been reading through the posts, and thought the Hamper idea was excellent. Got loads of my boyfriend's fave sweets and some love hearts/valentines related candy :)

    Just thought I would let you know if any of you have an instore near you, they have all their hampers reduced. Got a lovely medium hamper box that is perfect for this sort of thing for only £1.87! :):):) Gping to wrap it in red tissue papers and make the little origami stars :):)
    Comping Fairy bring some luck my way! :dance:Love my Fiance Spiceboy :happyhear:iloveyou:

    I'll probably get up about eight or nine, possibly put some washing on, maybe do a bit of ironing.

    I could listen to some Love Music...

    Later on I might write some poetry, dwell temporarily on my past, remembering the good times. After that I could go for a drive. Somewhere peaceful that will reflect my contemplative mood. I'll consider LOVE and the times I thought I'd found and known love. The feeling, the abandon, the gut-wrenching abstinence. Then I might recall the moments when I thought love had been lost. The despair, the redundancy, the soul-destroying gravity.

    Or I'll imagine our date. At the arboretum. Where we would always have gone if you'd stayed another day. The place we'll always be going tomorrow. Walking and laughing and running and breathless, catching leaves to make wishes for each other. We could take a cool bag with some scones and clotted cream and jam, and a flask of hot tea.

    On returning home I could bask in the joy of being alive and consider how fortunate I am to have the things I have. I should ring my daughters and my sisters and my Mum. Later still I might put the heating on, then run myself a nice hot bath, and afterwards just put a bathrobe on. I could even break open a bottle of wine, just to put an edge on the day.

    Then finally, when the day is almost done, I'll snuggle up on the sofa, put on a DVD, and w@nk myself into oblivion.

    I got one of these today. Mine is about shoebox size and cost under £2. I'm going to put aftershave and choccies in mine and some of those Valentine Scratchcards when I find some.
