Valentine's Day - Do you bother?

I asked my OH what he would like for valentines day - expecting (xbox360 game or something really romantic) and he completely suprised me by asking for shoes!!!! he is never practical (yes not romatic but i love to give practical gifts!!!) and im so astonished that he said shoes!!!! ill stickred hearts to the box as a laugh as well!!!

I have a big presentation on valentines day with compulsory drinks afterwards so we have decided to go away the week after instead! much nicer!!

I think its nice to make the day a bit special - so I usually do heart shaped fried eggs (put oil in the pan, then place large heart shaped cooky cutter in, then break egg into this). I make heart shaped toast - and heart shaped sandwiches for lunch boxes (even the kids!). I cut small red heart shapes out of a sheet of tissue paper and springle these on the table, where we eat something a bit special by candlelight. Bottle of wine and romantic DVD for later (doesnt matter if its something we've already watched). You cant have enough romance - and Mr Hallmark neednt make a penny!
