Valentine's Day - What did you get/give?

Mrs_Ryan

I gave: Box-set of Father Ted DVD's (bit selfish really as i wanted them as well - ha ha) a framed name-a-star (very MSE - used the free name a star site and a frame from the pound shop!!!) plus an electric razor (that was a joint present though - its his b'day on Tuesday) and a card.
I got a card, two games for my Wii and the most gorgeous bouquet of roses (I chose them!!!)
He's been warned though - next year I want something romantic or else

It's my OH's birthday the day before Valentine's so we (me, OH and 2 kiddies) went out for a meal to Pizza Express (coutesy of Tesco vouchers ). I took a cake to the restaurant and they lit candles and helped us sing happy birthday. We had a great time

OH worked Valentine's Day and gave me nothing but a cheesy card but I love him and wasn't expecting anything so was fine with that (I've eaten most of the chocolates I gave him anyway as he knew I would ).

My son gave a girl in his class a homemade Valentine's card on Friday and she gave him a homemade one back. They are only 4 and it's very sweet

Hi CT, to be honest I knew I would get nothing as he doesn't do valentines day where I do ... I'm not bothered about getting nothing as I don't give to recieve, however I am gutted at him being to throughless and starting an argument ... swine! ... there is still an atmosphere now ... I think I will dissapear out tomorrow and stay out of the way!

My OH doesn't really do Valentine's and sometimes I feel he buys cos he thinks he should rather than shop for something he knows I'd love so I said no pressies for me. He buys occasional bunches of flowers throughout the year and they mean a lot as I know he's thought of me.

I gave him two ties (bought in charity shop for £1 each) and he took me out for fish n chips (my request) although I did cook him a Roast Chicken dinner last night.

He bought me: 10 red roses (a bloomin' first). a book containing 5 Lambeth Visitor Parking Permits (in other words its about time you came to London to stay for a while) and last night he gave me a bar of chocolate turron that he picked up in a local shop:D

There was a massive budget difference between our gifts this year!

Me to OH:

Card £3
Breakfast in bed - made from scratch American pancakes with bacon and maple syrup - about £2 as we had most of the ingredients)
Mini chilli chocolate muffins - homemade - about £2 again for the chocolate
Pub lunch in Cardiff (we'd travelled down to watch the rWales v England rugby in a pub) - £10

Total £17

OH to me:

Card - that was a surprise as he doesn't normally do cards!
Train tickets to Cardiff - £88
IMPULSE BUY tickets to the match 1/2 an hour before kick off from a dodgy bloke outside the stadium - £260

Total £350! :eek:

I was incredibly grateful that he got the tickets - I would have been quite happy staying in the pub as we planned, but he wouldn't let me pay him back for them!
