NO! I hate valentines day!

Me to Mrs Troll '' Were not doing all the valentines stuff tomorrow are we?''

Mrs Troll ''No were going away on Friday we'll just do that''

This morning 7 am *gets a poke in the head*

Mrs Troll ''Happy valentines day'' *passes me a card and chocolates''

Me '' Arrrgggghhhhhh ffs blah blah blah''

Yes I should have known better!

And I just KNOW if I dont turn up at home with a card and some form of gift World War III will erupt...its just all so meaningless!  Mind you I do laugh at all the men queuing in the card shops with red embarrased faces clutching their cards! They look more like they're buying a dirty magazine than a declaration of love

Oh but happy valentines anyway   

@ Bab! you gotta love him!!

Had a lovely card from Mr Blizz.

Picture of a 1950 couple, lady sitting on man's lap.

Message - 

On Valentines Day last year they
Went shopping, had a romantic meal.
This year was Liz’s choice,so they
watched telly and farted. 

Message inside - Happiness is being married to my best friend. 

My card was a bit boring. Two seals kissing. 

Yeah I know...love him to death

Hahahahaha Blizzie....but were the seals farting?!

we haven't even exchanged cards yet the Gyps has had to go do some important stuff, and I have been sat in with the central heating man and little Gyps!

I am cooking dinner later, and we shall probably get pissed, much the same as any other Tuesday really!

Blizz I would show you the card I got Mr Cinds, but I know for definite I would get banished for eternity. 

The one he got me was lovely.

Probably.

You know what they're like. 

 Mine was a panic buy and I had my ten year old with me, so I kept it clean.

Kept it relatively clean? A picure of beastiality? Hate to see your dirty card!

oh that is so funny! And the ones scrabbling around to get roses on the way home

 It's only bestiality if you join in!!

Hahahahaha Saz...we have a Tesco Garage on the way home and I always see them fighting over the left over flowers with fear in their eyes!

 Lizzie...yeah but we know what you were thinking as you ran your fingers over the card!

Happy Valentines everyone xx

Bloody hell Scotty that sounds like me!

  I know, that`s why I posted it!  

I hate valentines day!  Everyone asks 'what did he get you' and expects you to say "oohhh he cooked me breakfast in bed, gave me a dozen red roses then serenaded me before heading to work and when he got home he gave me diamonds, cooked dinner, gave me a massage and didn't even mention doing it up the ar*e.  Verrrrrry romantic!  What did yours get you?"

Love it

 I dunno what happened to my post, can't fix it either.

St. Valentine patron saint of epilepsy, apparently

Happy Valentines Day everyone xx

It's all I can do not to point and laugh  

I LOVE VALENTINES DAY.    And I am pretty narked off with the stupid 'why are people only nice and romantic to each other on ONE day of the year?' type of comments that I've been reading on twitter and suchlike.  Me and hubby are NOT only nice to each other on bloody Valentine's day.  Valentines is just a bit of fun FFS.  We like it, because it's traditional and it's fun and an excuse to buy chocolates and get some nice flowers and I ALWAYS run out of my perfume by Valentines, (coz my birthday is in the summer.)  So hubby always gets me my fave bottle of Chanel.

Of course, there's always the 'grumpy brigade' who poo-poo it and think people are 'sad' or stupid or 'buying into the commercialism.'  The poo poo brigade grate on me.  I like it, you don't.  Fine.  But don't try and make out I am a brainless chump because I don't think like you.

I was romantic... I brought home some nice strawberries, strawberry yoghurt and milk to make a nice thick smoothy. Even cut the strawberry in the shape of a heart.  What more do you want

zigahzig ahhh!

Hope all your lovers have been good to you 

And your partners.

Strawberry hearts! See little intracacies like that are lost in this house...how can you expect someone who can wolf a whole chicken dinner down his face in 5 minutes flat appreciate a delicate strawberry heart! It might as well be all offal and nosebags around our dining room table!

A lovely heart casserole, done in the crock pot? 

Who Valentine was,maybe..

The name Valentinus does not occur in the earliest list of Roman martyrs, compiled by the Chronographer of 354. The feast of St. Valentine was first established in 496 by Pope Gelasius I, who included Valentine among those "... whose names are justly reverenced among men, but whose acts are known only to God." As Gelasius implied, nothing was known, even then, about the lives of any of these martyrs. The Saint Valentine that appears in various martyrologies in connection with Feb 14 is described either as:

• A priest in Rome,
• A bishop of Interamna (modern Terni), or
• A martyr in the Roman province of Africa.^[8]

The first representation of Saint Valentine appeared in the Nuremberg Chronicle (1493); alongside the woodcut portrait of Valentine, the text states that he was a Roman priest martyred during the reign of Claudius II, known as Claudius Gothicus. He was arrested and imprisoned upon being caught marrying Christian couples and otherwise aiding Christians who were at the time being persecuted by Claudius in Rome. Helping Christians at this time was considered a crime. Claudius took a liking to this prisoner – until Valentinus tried to convert the Emperor – whereupon this priest was condemned to death. He was beaten with clubs and stones; when that failed to kill him, he was beheaded outside the Flaminian Gate. Various dates are given for the martyrdom or martyrdoms: 269, 270, or 273.^[9]

Any excuse for the maestro...

It's my daughters birthday today (aged 29) we had a lovely Coq au Vin and birthday cake with all the family. I really wanted to make it good for her as (romantically) it's been a hard year. We were all dropping like flies though  - I've got a hacking cough and cold and feel like shite and mty two little grandsons were flaked out and feeling poorly.

I did try!
