Thank you Oma

We do cards and this year I received a red rose and bag of Cadburys mini eggs! I haven't bought anything

We don't have a special meal or anything and certainly wouldn't go out for an overpriced Valentines meal.

We don't do anything in particular. Sometimes one or the other of us gets a card, and this year I saw a book OH would enjoy. It arrived last week, so I kept it for today, and marked it "with love from Waterstones"!

DS1 and DIL used to make a big occasion of Valentine's Day and I know DIL will be sad today. I've got her a big bunch of daffodils and gypsophila to take tomorrow. Just to say "love you".

Daisy, that is a kind loving gesture xxxxx

Nothing doing here, OH is off to play cards this afternoon and I am about to wash the bathroom floor after the plumber has been. We never have celebrated Valentines day.

Grauntie, my mum and dad never did. Once I married, aged 21 I presumed that was that.
My then OH presented me with a card on Valentine's Day , 3 months after our wedding! I had to make him one as I hadn't bought one.
After that we always exchanged cards, and my present OH and I the same.

We always celebrated our DSs birthday so it was never our day,

I think before he was born when we were younger we might have ,

I Wouldn't pay the price for flowers on Valentine's I would rather have them at another time , same with mothers day , I love getting flowers but I don't want some big over priced bouquet.

I remember Tizzy telling us when they had a florists, they kept Roses in cold storage from November onwards because they are cheaper to buy in then, that's why they don't last .
