Must admit to giving Valentines day not much more than a second mention. We don't generally bother, but our wedding anni is only a fortnigt before and so we tend to go all out for that more.

My hubby has the same view im afraid, says its just another Hallmark Cards Hype!
But something else he says which i do agree with is that we shouldnt be told which day to tell someone we love them, we shouldnt have to wait a whole year to do that, it should be done every day, every week, when ever the mood takes us. AND we shouldnt have to buy a card to do that, if could just be something small, a cup of tea or a massage etc.
So I DO tell my hubby and best m8's i love them, Ive learnt not to hold back my feelings because my Dad was alive one day and gone the next, so sieze the opportunity. :inlove:
I agree with everyone that it is a complete commercial con,
yet however.................. I can't help hoping that one of the bouqets of flowers that are delivered to my office are going to be for me!!!!!!!! :rose:
Me and my hubby used to do the whole romantic bit a few years ago but after nearly 17 years together I think we both know how much we love each other.
All the same though............................sighhhhhhhh
:love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:
Oh no, take cover, it's coming round again. I agree wholehearted with those who hate the commercial racket aspect, but it also reminds me of the times I used to enjoy receiving one and sending one - neither has happened since the year 2000. I wonder if she gets a card. :cry:
Sod it - I need a Valentine card like a fish needs a bicycle!

Yep, never bothered with Valentine's day myself, either. Always believed that couples shouldn't need a special day to show each other they love each other. To lots of people, it's a special day, but to me, it's Feb. 14th.
From where I'm sitting it looks about 13 days away................
Of course Valentines Day is commercial clap trap, so ive just told him what he buy ing me so he wont need to worry his pretty little head about it will he?
:giggle: :giggle: :giggle: :giggle: :giggle: :giggle:
I am so good to that man it unbelievable!! :angel: :angel: :angel: :angel:
Its so imprtant he feels he has made the effort
It is possible to enjoy it without pandering to the commercialism, isn't it?
What's wrong with arranging a special night in? The full romantic works. Soft music, perfumed candles, cooking a special dinner, some quality wine, a little poetry, massage oil, putting some time and effort into making a special person in your life feel very special?
The trouble is, I'll be on my own again, so all those ideas will be wasted. And it's a real pain to be constantly reminded that the whole world seems geared up for couples; the whole Valentine concept is a conspiracy to make singles feel like outcasts.
OK, whinge over. I'll see myself out.
...........Valentines day has been around in Europe for almost 600 years.
However I too hate valentines day. It has been over commercialised primarily to guilt all those bastard husbands who treat their wives like crap for 363 days of the year and expect everything to be forgiven in exchange for a box of choccys. Whats worse still is that women do forgive them. Who' worse??????
Incidently, my wife is given the reason for me not participating as well would you rather me be nice to you for the whole year except vamentines day or would you like a box of chocolates? and anyway who said you could leave the bloody kitchen/bedroom!!!!!
ops: :oops: 
Shouldn't be allowed.
