pemberton 15 Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 You certainly know how to push the boat out Mick, Seriously though, I think that valentines day is just another money spinning gimmick dreamt up many years ago by those who want to make money out of us soft folk. If you can't show your love to your better half every single day, and have to have one day set aside to express your love, well what can I say! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted February 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Unfortunately, due to a protracted job today, it was last minute. But Tesco and Wilko's never lets you down B) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Sparrow 10,304 Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 #7 It'll be a bit crowded with Jake and Bailey, unless they've bought her flowers and chocolates, in which case you'll have the kennel all to yourself! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,409 Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Took the one I treasure and adore for a romantic seven course meal. I reckon the bruises will take about a week to go... What's wrong with a bag of chips and a six pack anyway? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Booth 7,364 Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Happy Anniversary, annswabey, It was very romantic to get married on Valentine's day. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 We don't do Valentines day after all we have been married 46 years in June so I think we already know the answer to the question. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,599 Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 NBL, we don't do Valentines Day either, although we do eat a few chocolates together....... but there again, we quite often do that anyway! I don't need a special day to show and tell Paul how much I love him after nearly 51 years together.... (and the same is true for him). We are going away for a couple of nights from tomorrow, though, but that is a just a celebration of his being completely over his illness now. 1 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Really pleased to learn that Paul is over his illness, Margie and I hope that you'll both enjoy your few days break. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LizzieM 9,507 Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Wouldn't normally bother with Valentines Day, been married too long to fuss about it, but our two sons gave us a really lovely Christmas present ...... 2 tickets to see Jersey Boys at the Piccadilly Theatre in the West End and a night in a very nice hotel. We've had a really fabulous night and I was singing along to all the songs. What a great decade the 60s was to be a teenager, I knew all the words!! Walked back to the hotel, even late at night London is really buzzing, Nottingham is like a sleepy backwater compared to down 'ere. Just had to add though ...... £36 for 4 glasses of Merlot in the theatre bar! tasted no better than the Roebuck either 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,427 Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 #17 I'm with you on the Valentines day thing Margie. Some of it comes from England. My first wife and I never did the valentines day thing and never missed it. Here in the USA I think it is generally made more of so you're in bigger trouble if you miss it. Actually I did get Janet (Mrs Loppy) a card with a big Beagle on it but I didn't get a gift. She's not into chocolates and I often buy her a bunch of flowers when I go out to the store. I often take her out to eat as well. She bought me some Crunchy bars. Special ordered from the UK. Made me feel even more of a heel. Oh well! You win some you lose some. Jill #10. Jake and Bailey can do no wrong so the doghouse is never crowded. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Re #60. I was fortunate enough to see The Jersey Boys show a year or so ago, and was totally enthralled at the brilliant singing, the wonderful songwriting, the fascinating storyline and listening to the fantastic songs which instantly rekindled memories of times long past. Times of freshness, innocence and embarking on new paths in life. Glad you enjoyed it LizzieM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
