I am having a real MS valentines. We dont normally bother ..but after managing a very cheap few treats - thought I would.

I have made hubby a small hamper which includes playboy socks, CK undies, a small teddy, "Don'ts for Husbands" book, wispa gold, FCUK shower gel and face cream. All of these were either freebies, or from mystery shops or reduced/sale items.

I have also got steak for tea tomorrow - which is half price at Somerfield - and they have vouchers which are " spend £10 on meat - get £2 off".

I have a mystery shop to do at a supermarket tomorrow - so can get the veggies and pudding for tea tomorrow.

Plus bought a daily star today and they had a voucher for a free dvd rental and bag of sweets from blockbuster.

And managed to bag one of the champagne set from asda that have been bar-coded wrong and come up at £3 instead of £12!!

Quite pleased with myself!!!

Just hope I get a card & pressie back....:rotfl:

Oh doesn't do valentines so I have nothing (not that I would expect anything!)

However today is valentines day for us as OH works all week away and drives north on the sunday night, I normally work sat nights but I have booked it off, I have made Keylime pie, we are having lamb balti with lots of other little bits and I have given him a few of his pressies already. I got him a Haynes jigsaw, some haynes coasters, a haynes keyring, a fatboy travel mug. Still have his favourite red wine to give him, and I made a bottle hanger and put in a Game gift card, these will be on the table when we sit down to eat

Just spending the day together will suit me just fine ....probably a Chinese takeaway and a bottle of wine later when the LO's are in bed

I have always bought big pressys for valentines, last year booked a hot air balloon flight, previous year got him a new bass guitar in red the colour of love!! Also every year a valentines mug, after the big pressies have been forgotten the mugs are always there so this year we bought each other a special mug and I made heart shaped shortbread and heart shaped choccies. We both shopped for special ingrediants to make lovely food today - had pancakes, fruit, icecream, syrup for brekkie and for tea I have made heartshaped roasted veg and goats cheese tarts and heart shaped fruit tarts using up the left over fruit from brekky. We may well have a glass of wine too.
I did also get some beautiful roses despite us agreeing just to buy a mug, but even so they are lovely and I am very lucky. Am having a lovely money saving valentines day today hope everyone else is too..

Just to update my post, our meal went really well last night, the food was gorgeous (Thanks Jamie Oliver!) and he suprised me with a dozen red roses and a bottle of champagne!!

Hope you all have a fab valentines!

Aw Rusty, that's good to hear

I got a little basket with a small teddy, a little box of chocs and a mini bottle of rose in OH said he tried to find a mini bottle of cider to go in there but he couldn't And it was all wrapped up in cellophane with a big bow which he did himself, so I'm pretty impressed!
