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

Had a lovely card from Mr Blizz.

 

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

Message -

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.

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?"

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.

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:

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]

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!
