    52? Do I have to think of that many? Hadn't thought of that. I was thinking more like about 20! Is that being tight then?!

    Eeeek sorry I imagined you had wrote 52 :rotfl: I think I got your thread mixed up with another ;)

    Bless you for being so nice. :D

    If I did this...I'd be writing things like 'I promise to try to not want to slap you as soon as I see your moany face' or 'I will not comment how like Homer Simpson you are becoming' etc etc. :rotfl:

    just a couple of ideas:
    What about offering to drive so he can drink even if its your turn to drink?
    Not moaning if hes going out with his mates!!
    He doesnt have to come shoe shopping with you this weekend

    We dont do valentines and if I started my OH would wonder what Id been up to!!:p
    Im not sure just spending time on MSE would cut it:D

  • Erm... Stop watching eastenders card!! thats what my OH would love!
    maybe massage, or other ahem...more naughty suggestions that i shall not mention!
    Foot rub, Make his cups of tea all day for one day, skip a trip to asda! haha thats the same as a Get out of jail free card!

    I have a video on youtube of how to make origami hearts to write messages on if anyone wanted to put those in the jar instead of cards so you dont ahve to have as many promises!

    I have managed to come up with enough to do something with ... I will slot them into the bottom of his hamper and he has 3 months to redeem them all.

    I managed to find a font with hearts on so they look quite good :)

    Rusty - brilliant:T Love the font you used.

    Think is I did this for my OH I'd have to do

    Promise -not to cook
    not to kick him in the morning to try and make him get up first
    not to bore him senseless with my inane ramblings about things
    to do with any empty jar or container that I rescue from the bin
    not to blame him for the 'hot spots' in the house when really I know
    it's me who creates them


    and so on and so on.......................:rotfl:
    Mary

    I'm creative -you can't expect me to be neat too !
