    Thanks for all these hints. Been thinking about what to do for a few weeks now.

    We will have been married for 6 years this valentines day!
    OH been off sick for 7 months over last 2 years so monies have been very tight. (And now just informed he may be made redundant...) Have usually just stayed in and made a nice meal - not really that creative

    However I Like the idea of hampers & love vouchers - will take a look at these suggestions - or maybe get him to look!!! x

    Well.... we're not doing too much on Valentine's Day, I mean, we're getting married if you call that romantic? :-p hehehe

    Congratulations - Enjoy your day xxx :j

    There's one good thing about being married on Valentines Day, its harder for the other half to forget your anniversary!! (Speaking from experience!)

    A cake sounds good, a nice chocolate and cherry cake sounds good to me with a tiny bit of booze!! I had a thought of a poem but then again my hand writing is scruffy and yet again I'm no good at making things look pretty on the pc........

    I never said I was proud, it's just something I have to deal with.

    Sorry guys for going off topic again.

    No grace you don't have to 'deal with it'. Firstly what about his gf? It's not very fair on her!

    And secondly it's not really fair on you. This guy is taking the two of you for a ride, having his cake and eating it!!!

    Please have more respect for yourself not to mention his girlfriend!
