    Just an update on my post above (sorry for some reason edit function isn't working for me??)

    I have scoured ebay and found the length and width ... the width is 1cm and the length is 25cm.

    I plan to have a go later on ;)

    OMG!!!! I had got so wrapped up planning xmas 09 crafts, his b'day in May and Easter I had forgotten all about Valentines Day!!!
    We'll have been together for 9 valentines days, so it's getting kind of hard to think of different things now, esp since we've had the kids.

    Erm..... well I think I'll make a request for some choccies and a take away, he did once book us into a hotel, I think we'd been together for a year, and I was mortified as it was the time of the month, scuppering any plans he might have had!! and I was so embarrassed thinking that my parents would have only thought we were up to one thing!!! I made him take me home :( lol

    he'll probably break the "not do anything rule" and spoil me as usual, making me end up feeling even worse for not bothering!!!

    And I know it's not the place, but Grace!!! please stop to think how your bf's real gf would feel. My best friend was cheated on )by my OH's brother - long messy story) and it was awful, I just don't tolerate cheats at all and think it's disgusting behaviour. Definitely a case of having your cake and eating it. Incidentally, the girl he had cheated with he eventually got bored of, and did exactly the same to her. Once a cheat, always a cheat. Don't lower yourself to it.

    On that note, happy valentines planning everyone :D

    but if you both couldn't bear to divorce and realise you still leave each other then he obviously doesn't feel as strong about you as you do him or he would have left his girlfriend to be back with you! ... Remember there is always a reason as to why you split up .... and as has been previously said before, once a cheat always a cheat!
    It aint nice, I have had it done to me, and like I fool I went back, he did it again, and I am still here but we have various other things that we can't change, he understands now that I won't put up with anymore, after he saw me completely break down and loose the plot a few weeks before christmas!

    rustyflange, I understand what your saying, but he never cheated on me, we split because he was going to south africa to work and I was going to the states for work, so we stupidly thought splitting would be easiest. We are now both back in the uk living round the corner from each other, but his limpet girlfriend is digging her heels in and refusing to leave his house, which in actual fact belongs to me!
