I'll join in from a guys prospective :rotfl:
I got her some new pyjamas, a lovely chemise but thats more for me than her! A couple of lucky in love scratch cards (they weren't very lucky) along with a large designer rubber duck because she wanted one for the bathroom. My highlight was a wonderful hand made card, a first for me I must admit! I created a photo collage of us on the front and put a few hearts round it and wrote a poem inside. I think that went down well. Don't usually bother much but felt like it this year.
She got me Active Health with Carol Vorderman for Nintendo DS which comes with a pedometer to help with my new years resolution to get more fit.
To top it off we went to Pizza Hut on Sunday and three course meal with a heart shaped pizza. Topped with lots of pepperoni it looked quite impressive!0 -

BUT did any of you catch the story in the news of the guy in minesota who gave his missus of 37 years a pile of manure!!!! :eek:
The manure was spread over several days, in an outline of a heart, over half a mile. It even had a manure arrow piercing the heart.
And the best part is she liked it!

After our issues before Christmas (where we realised we'd both stopped trying for birthdays / christmas / valentines) we decided to make the effort this year.
I got him a bottle of squirty scream and some sprinkles (which has been a running joke between us) plus I made a baked new york cheesecake (which he adored as I DONT cook and when I do it generally goes wrong, so he was well impressed I managed to make one that tasted nice!) Lol
He got me a lovely rose and a bag of mini eggs (addicted to them) AND.....
told me he's booked for us to tour around Australia for 5 weeks over christmas!!! Obviously he's not paying for all of it but hes saved nearly 5k already without me knowingBless him

which i wanted so much, but wouldnt buy because of the price! I usually get my faith shoes from ebay but he is so bl00dy fantastic, he got them for me. (probably to shut me up if nothing else!!! lol)
I felt so guilty, when we left for our break (on v day) I went into the shop and bought him a tube of love hearts!Married the absolute love of my life on Sunday May 6th and I couldnt be happier!!!0
