    Congratulations :D hope you have a great day :beer:.

    OH and I aren't doing anything for Valentine's day as it's silly nonsense and mainly a day for card companies and shops selling heart shaped rubbish to make a huge profit :cool:.

    We do buy each other gifts, meals etc all the time anyway tbh and just don't feel the need to splash out on extra tat.

    I wouldn't want to be proposed to on Valentines day, bit corny to me :)

    With regards to Valentines day in general spending money on unnecessary stuff wouldn't be MSE ;)

    I agree, I have purposely made a card for my OH as I believe that is more creative and thoughtful. I refuse to buy into the commercialism of the day. I mean, there are huge heart teddys in Sainsburys for £20.00 come the 15th they will be reduced to a fiver no doubt!

    I just feel sorry for all the men who feel compelled to get something for her indoors just so that he does not get it in the ear! Cue the incessant pictures on social media. So glad I am no longer on it!

    I don't get the photo thing on fb at all, but there's many things I don't 'get' about fb....
