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

    I buy flowers for the gf (when i have one) quite often. But I wouldn't pay that much for them. Not when a holiday, or some other gift would put a bigger smile for longer, onto her face.

    Well the XOH once said "Is that it? They're not very good." when I bought her some flowers at random, and then complained months later that I never bought her flowers any more.

    Men do often reside in the Land of the Obvious.

  • I wouldnt mind what day I got them...unless it was because they'd done something REALLY wrong...
    And garage forecourt ones are ok, but NOT on Valentines Day-any clearer men?
