I once went to Oldham on the 14th to see us in a League Cup semi-final. It rained all evening and in those days the away end was uncovered, we lost 6-0 on their plastic pitch and I wasn't poplar at home. That wasn't a great Valentine's Day.

A few days ago I warned the new person in my life that I categorically don't do V day, commercialism gone mad. Much prefer impromptu shows of affection.

We met up (unplanned) and had a lovely afternoon wandering around old Southwark and parted company early evening.

Surely V day is the same as any other days where we buy presents and send cards? Mother's day? Father's day? Christmas day (for the non Christian)? They are all days that businesses have capitalised on to make a buck and the public tends to embrace without question. And why not, there are far worse things to do in life than give your loved one a bunch of flowers and a card to remind them they are loved.....and yes, you can do that any day of the year but then you can cook a pancake or send a card to your mother on any day too!


littlemissj I agree that it can be a depressing day for singles as it can make it seem as though everyone else is celebrating their gloriously successful relationships- everywhere you turn are reminders that other people are in love! It's great being in a relationship because you have the option of rejecting V day......when you are single it just is


It's over now for this year and I hope someone wonderful is in your life this time next year so you can smugly tell them you don't need V day to validate how blissfully happy you are :-)

    • Defo, where are you based so I can collect?
    • There is no other way than to move out. I am in such a situation myself where our neighbours are complete assholes. They breached the Covenants and when we pointed it they said to take them to court if we want.  Unfortunately, they have made our life miserable and we have to move out.    What helped in our situation is having a calm conversation face to face. It only happened after they tasted their own medicine(i know it's mean but nothing else helps).   I know it's unfair but better move out and prioritise your mental health. 
    • Thank you so much for the reply. Jeffery turned up a couple of hours ago. I edited title to say found but somehow it didn't save. Thank you so much for going to the trouble of posting this sighting... even if it didn't turn out to be Jeff.  Jeff came running down the street like a bat out of hell and ran into the house. Never been so relieved. Mind you i've been up and down the roads shouting his name out all day. Even in Wingfield street. 🤗
    • I saw a smallish black cat outside 1 Wingfield Street just now.  I am not convinced it was Jeff, the eyes look a little different.
