I whole heartily agree, (not just because everyone needs to save their pennies for my birthday ) and apply the same reason to mothers day (it's Mothering Sunday!!!!!)

I hate it!  It's all a bit show of how much your OH has bought you so that means how much they love you.

NO!!

Most years we say we're not buying anything because 1) we have a home to run and kids to see to and 2) it's novelty crap or overpriced flowers.

And it's my Mums birthday so I just buy her some nice things instead of buying to my OH   

It's my daughters birthday tomorrow too. I always feel a bit sorry for her as it's not an easy night to celebrate a birthday as it's all given over to Valentines day. Me and Mr Woo will exchange cards and I may get flowers.

My daughter is single ..............I do feel for her a bit as it's bad enough having your birthday highjacked but even worse if you've no one to spend it with.

Never mind - she's off to New York (work) on Monday and is excited about that. Her friend is flying out to join her on the last day of the conference and she is staying on for three days. I'm excited for her.

I celebrate Valentines day by encompassing my family like the Americans do. It's all about everyone that I love, not just my OH. On Saturday, I will be making a lovely meal of Hunters chicken, new pots. and sweet corn, followed by fresh fruit and cream meringues, We will be sharing this meal with the Grandson who is 11, and I have bought both of them a box of Maltesers as a token gesture.  

Same here GJ

New York - Fantastic. 

Your daughter should choose an un official birthday and have a celebration then. Sometime in the summer would be good. 

 i might nip to the off licence in a bit & ask the man if he's got a nice semillon for valentines day

if I am having to buy the husband VD related items, I'll be having serious words with him.

Happy Valentines day Crunchy 

Happy Valentine's Day everyone  

I did a double take too machel

I bought hubby some heart shaped chocolates ... I will enjoy eating them later!

So did I   That's 4 of us all on the same smutty wavelength.

A single man booked every other seat at the movies to split up couples on Valentine's Day

what a tosser!

One has to applaud the man's genius.

all the money he wasted on doing that, he coulda bought himself a mail order bride!

Trust me Russian brides cost a lot more than £280 !!!  

im gonna have to google russian brides now-then delete pc history incase OH wonders why im googling how much it is to buy one

bloody hell!

youre talking around £8000

cheaper to find an illegal one-then she'll pay YOU to marry her

anyway i hope youve all had a nice valentines day

and i know girls love cute pics of kittens and hearts

so heres one

just for you

Your wicked.

Last words.

Talk shite under the influence.

No respect.

Harsh lesson.

Know where I've gone wrong.

its nasty

yet amusing

like me

I got a lovely card and a bag of Thorntons toffee from my partner, 'cos I like the toffee better than chocolates. 

You're always funny, but never nasty.

I think it's a personal choice.......my sis for instance would totally gut her hubby if he didn't get her the biggest bunch of flowers & largest box of choccies...topped off with the most expensive meal going in Newton Abbot!
Me!......I got nowt & he got a bottle of cider with a bow!
I did make the bow myself!

or evil!

Newton Abbot is a lovely place. I bought an African artefact there. I'm sure you know the place.

 only a tiny bit evil....

i once went to a video premier yrs ago

you sat in a hotel conference room-they made it into a cinema type thingy

and you had to judge the film before it was released to video

waitresses came round all through the film with glasses of wine & vol-aventy things

these had shrimp in them

by the end of the film everyone was totally pissed 

nobody had a clue what was going on

i threw up pink sick

good night though

Valentine card greeting.

Go green ,f*ck a vegetarian. (made me laugh)
