    What are you hoping to recieve? A card this year would be nice, but if I had to choose something....Erm....Oooh.....Oh I dunno. :think: Maybe some underwear, I love underwear and he likes the same stuff as me so I think it will be that.
    That means either Chauff likes wearing Agent Provocateur underwear, or you like just wearing boxer shorts??? :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:


    Hmm last year I got my OH a zorbing session that we could do together (haven't done it yet cos this year has not been good healthwise for me), and the year before we went to Venice (that was actually one of my Christmas pressies) and had a Valentines meal right by the Rialto Bridge and the Grand Canal, fantastic!!

    Thinking cap is on 'loosely', as it's my sons 16th only 6 days before Valentines :rolleyes: and can't say any ideas on here as OH is a member and reads my posts! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    SOOOOOOOOO Godders, you ain't getting any clues by reading this :p:p:p:p

  • i'm not holding my breath! its our first one full stop but when i mentioned it to him the other day his face said it all then i got the"its a rip off" speech. a card would be nice as i've never had a valentines before but as the saying goes "you can't miss what you've never had" or something to that effect.
