Valentines day isn't a rip off - best things in life are for free after all (and a pretty good way to express love)Final cigarette smoked 02/01/18

my husband told me he'd bought me something small, black and very hot, I really thought he was using his imagination for once until I opened the gift, he bought me a four slice toaster!
Not quite the gift I was expecting, but better than the previous year, a jar of pickled onions and a jar of chilli peppers! :eek:0 -

Martin clearly buys into Valentines day, judging by his appearance in the top LHS corner today!
You could argue the avatar's just a bit of fun, but surely it would have been more appropriate to have ignored it altogether rather than to provide a prompt, which IMO undermines the message that it's all a commercial wheeze.Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

Hope is not a strategy...A child is for life, not just 18 years....Don't get me started on the NHS, because you won't win...I love chaz-ing!

Think of all the cut-price romantic stuff you could have bought each other as anniversary presents if it had been two or three weeks later...0 -
I find there are quite a lot of men who say 'Valentines day is stupid, you should be romantic every day of the year, not just when clintons tell you too'.... and then aren't!!!0

I like Valentines Day. Me and OH tell each other every day that we love each other and we often buy the other a little gift or a card and think it's nice on Valentines to buy each other a card and maybe a gift depending on how tight money is that year.
Sometimes we have gone out for a meal, sometimes we have gone away for the night and sometimes we cook a nice meal at home. If we go to a restaurant we will just go to a nice indian as that is our favourite food rather than somewhere that has a special menu for that night at a ridiculous price.
I don't understand people who celebrate Valentines but don't really show love and thoughtfullness other days though. I find it quite sad when you see so many couples in a restaurant on Valentines who spend the whole evening not talking or just saying things like "pass the salt".The world is over 4 billion years old and yet you somehow managed to exist at the same time as David Bowie0
