catfan 14,793 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Right then lads, Even lf you think it's just another money making "Racket" don't forget the woman in your life whom you love today. A box of chocolates or a bunch of flowers go a long way to keep em happy ! Show em you love em ! 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 We don't usually bother with flowers & such like, but we always say I love you as we do nearly every day. I always call it "massacre day" 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TBI 2,351 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 I've always bought my wife roses for Valentines Day, as I'm a romantic, and also not daft. This year she tell's me not to buy her flowers, the prices are a complete rip-off, and she'll be really mad at me if I still do. Big quandary then, is this a double-bluff ? I decided to take her at her word and didn't buy them. Been watching her face carefully so far this morning, I think I did the right thing, phew! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
terence12 725 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 i am 70 she who will be idolised 66, sometime in the not too distant future on of us will not be around, so, no matter what the cost, flowers and card now, photo, then in future the memories will be good ones, not ones of missed opportunity or forgetfulness, silly innit 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

radfordred 6,284 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Completely thoughtless to put Valentine's Day on a Saturday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted February 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Well, I had a table booked for a nice romantic meal for two tonight (before anyone asks, no it was not at Wetherspoons) ! Mrs Catfan been looking forward to it all week, but, she is full of cold & a nasty cough so had to ring up & cancel this moning. So we will celebrate hopefully, next Saturday instead. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 I always get her a card, but the everyday things mean more to her like checking her tyres and oil on her car, tea and toast in bed, all the little things that make her life easier, and she does the same for me. We both agree that these are the things that are about true love, not an annual card and box of chocs. It's a bvit like pancake day. We do these things any time. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
