    The diamonte pins made it look really tacky but I suppose they'd have a use that way.

    Even if I was rich and had a rich partner I'd rather go away for a nice weekend (if we had £500 to chuck about) than have some flowers with bits stuck in that look like they came from Claire's accessories!

    I like getting flowers but not on Valentines day just because they feel they should... and not at that price!

    I remember once I said to my Ex that someone had got roses in their sandwich box at work. The next day I opened my snap and i had roses IN my sandwiches between the bread. Does not taste good. Had roses at work once. Bit embarising(Sp) when you are a rough ,tough building worker on a scaffold. Took a bit of stick but it was a nice touch actually.

  • Flowers in your sandwich?
