Two weeks to Valntines day, how will you MSE it

I hate going out on Valentines day, you always seem to get poor service and food for an extra premium cost.

I will be cooking a tasty meal at home, what will you be doing?

    Mine will be my most MSE ever...I'll get up at 5.30, have a taxi pick me up on work expenses, get a train on work expenses to London, attend a conference, get a train and taxi back in the evening on work expense and hopefully see hubby before I collapse exhausted when I get home! Who says romance is dead!!

    Hi
    I am also single but have been invited for lunch at my lovely neighbours.
    So am looking forward to that - very MSE as I will only need a snack at suppertime :)

    I will be ignoring it as usual, as I do with Christmas, Easter, Halloween, Guy fawkes, Mothers Day, Fathers Day etc etc. It is just a load of old tosh to make you waste money on cards and useless presents -
    If a man does not keep pace with his companions, then perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music he hears, however measured or far away. thoreau

  • I will probably order us a takeaway with a money off voucher.:) I won't bother with a card as they are a waste of money and I usually throw it in the recycling the next day.

  • I'll be working all day until 5pm, bf will work until midday then come home. We will probably get each other a card; I will probably also get him something silly and may order him some lucky charms :)

    In the evening we will get a chinese take away that I believe we will be sharing with bf's parents :)
