did anyone get flowers at work?

Who got flowers today? I hoped for some but my bf says presents are personal and he does not think many people would send them to their work place.
I said it was nice to get a surprise now and again and I explained I had never had flowers at work.

If you got some enjoy them!:T

  • Where I used to work, this one girl got flowers all the time, for valentines, birthdays, just because and would have this smug look on her face.

    Although its lovely to recieve flowers I think its nice to get a more personal gift...

    Im not against people getting flowers at work - I sent some into my sisters work for her when she split up with her boyfriend and she was over the moon.

    Hope who ever gets some lovely flowers today, enjoys them.

    I had a beautiful pink rose bouquet this morning at home and a lovely valentine card. I always say not to worry and mean it because they're so expensive today.
    So I was both surprised and delighted.

    No flowers for me............but I get a bunch of lilies every weekend so I'm not complaining..............our lad here has just paid ten pounds for a teddy and a card !!!!!!!!!!!!:eek:
    I told him I could have 'sold' him something from my supply of hamper goodies stored upstairs but of course he wanted a teddy with a heart on it............lol

    Lucky you tosca5, an admirer, I'd have been even more surprised if I didn't know who mine were from. LOL

    Are you joking?

    Valentines days should be renamed "card shop, florist, restaraunt and toblerone day".

    If your BF is the romantic kind then you'll receive flowers randomly throughout the year, not just on a single day when everyone who can't be bothered for the rest of the year shows a sudden romantic interest just to get a leg over that night.

    If you don't get flowers you should be happy he's not another unromantic sheep.
  • no flowers for me he thinks they are a rip off :(

    im only getting to see him tomorrow and im getting pjs coz he told me who says romance isnt dead! (i do) lol

    who ever got them enjoy them
