    My o/h arranged that for my birthday last year with 1st class travel - not sure I will get it again for Valentines Day but it was fabulous :D

    Im not keen on flowers (must be the only women who isnt!). I have to arrange them in a vase which to me is another chore on top of everything else I do! Hubby doesn't buy me them much anyway and we just usually get each other a card.

    My ideal valentine gift though would be to go out for a meal. No cooking or clearing up and this way we both enjoy it!

    Ok, with no man I'll settle for a card. It'd be great to think that someone out there still finds me a bit fanciable after all these years. :rolleyes:
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.

    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    you can't go wrong with semi-anonymous flowers! so don't sign it as you, but leave a clue that's not obvious/impossible.

    a girl i work with had her birthday last month and her BF arranged for 12 red roses to be delivered to her at work - we all swooned (then repeatedly told the men in our lives how lovely it was - hopefully that was a sledge hammer like hint for them all!)

    it's all about the gesture.....

    btw mrbadexample, you'd better be back here in a fortnight to report back on your success!
