did anyone get flowers at work?

Case of every pleasure having its price...............lol I've been know to cut the stamens off for that reason..........its dreadful stuff to shift.

Nothing for me as OH working away at the moment, but I'm not that bothered about Valentines anyway.

Just a quick reminder that lillies are extremely toxic to cats, was reading somewhere (cant remember where) about a cat that had died as it had brushed against lilly pollen and then licked it off herself. Sorry if its off-topic but thought it was worth mentioning as not many people seem to know.

nothing for me :-( my boyfriend of over 6 years decided a job in the city earning more money was a better choice than staying with me, he started his new job yesterday.


but to everyone that did get flowers at work how lovely, its a really nice feeling ...

cat64 - I knew about that but its always worth mentioning. Don;t think its common knowledge. Can't remember where I heard it but it was a while back.
Its when they lick the pollen off the fur thats the problem -another reason for getting rid of the pollen before they're put in a vase.
Luckily our cats can't get to where the lilies are.
Worth a lot of gardening folk knowing that as well ..........if they have lilies in the garden and cats that could pose a risk.

Flowers at this time are a rip off.
I Got my GF some flowers last year some time from a guy that sells them in the city. Not a proper florist shop (expensive more or less all the time) and I think for 6 roses they were about £3. Today went to the same guy and he wants £15 for the same roses!

Thats not on is it! Im sure they didnt cost him anymore :rotfl:

Me and OH prefer private joke type gifts, these dont cost a packet either.

A good idea is (for next year- bit late for this year) is wooden roses, they look so pretty made into an arrangement and dont cost a bomb either plus you can sent them with a fragrance of your choice. At my local market a seller has these at 10 for £1.

None for me but not surprised as we dont do Valentines Would much prefer a romantic gesture/card out of the blue rather than on a set date.But thats just me.
I did get home to a nice surprise tho....Won a bottle of champers and some truffles from Omsco :T

I got a lovely meal of lamb shank carrots potatoes and parsnips, followed later by raspberry panacotta. Got a massive bunch of red and white carnations, leather gloves, and some chocolate from selfridges. Got him a signed george best photo in a mirrored frame and some nice blossom hill wine. We had a lovely evening.:rotfl:

I got a card sitting on the bed when I got home from college at 9 last night. That was it. First valentines as husband and wife and he doesnt understand why I was upset all last night.
Ah well
