Load of old horseshit.


BUT it's a great time to spot miserable couples in restaurants.. straining for conversation as they realise this is the first proper meal out they've had together since the previous Valentine's day.. and discovering how little they actually have in common when they don't have their big group of friends to paper over the cracks.

God, that's not mine. Mine will be sitting embittered on the sofa with my brother who won't move out of my very small flat 5 months after coming to stay for a couple of weeks (the bitterness is directed at him, not my single status, I won't be weeping into an australian chardonnay and singing All By Myself, well not unless there's really nothing on telly)


but I do think this whole "oh I don't do Valentine's Day" thing is a cop out. you don't have to go out for an expensive meal and buy shit chocolates from thorntons - an extra reason to show someone you love / fancy / lust after them is always quite nice really. of course you should do it each and every day, but new nipple tassles every day would get prohibitively expensive

Kinda agree with the sentiment on most of the posts. I really don't like being told to do something at the best of times let alone sit in a restaurant and force the conversation if you really don't feel like it.... and I WON'T feel like it tomorrow!


As Rosie says you should always make the effort not just because Hallmark have said so.


Flowers are no big deal are they? A small price to pay me thinks .. especially with the fantastic Alan Day down the road - they really are fantastic value there.


BTW - nipple tasssles are usually a xmas thing in our household! Look good with tinsel ::o

Sorry - I don't want to be told WHEN to make a fuss of my partner. Valentine's day used to low key and fun - about getting a card from an admiring stranger - now its about materialism, consumerism and, from some newspaper articles, competition between women about who has the most money spent on them. Personally I think it stinks.

      If you google Lulu London, it is a hairdresser on the kings road… could it still be a hairdresser which offers a glass of fizz?

      UK Government Consultation on SEND

      By PeckhamNicola · Posted

      An update, and at the bottom of the article ways to get involved and have a voice. National 'conversation' responses close 14th Jan.  https://www.specialneedsjungle.com/leaks-denials-fake-conversations-not-inspire-parental-confidence-send/ Closer to home, Councillor Ali has conducted a review of parent and child experiences of exclusions in Southwark and reports back to those who contributed at a dated TBC in January. If it is a date which I can attend then I'll share feedback. If not, is anyone else going who could let me know what is said?

      Decision 2 April - Proposed Development - The Sidings, Railway Rise, SE22

      I’m not an expert either but surely having that high of affordable housing would seem like a terrible investment. My guess is that they will pay southwark a fine then make the rest of it student housing too

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Pugwash · Posted

      For some strange reason, hubby likes to spend 'big' on family cards birthday and Christmas. I think it may have stemmed from his mother- she equated money with status and was a bit of a snob!  She was also quite eccentric - we asked for a suitcase one year and got a set of 4. One year she gave hubby the equivalent of a hearing aid - it was a device to hear bird song. Nobody we know send expensive cards. We have a twice yearly set of cards from the Foot and Mouth Painting Artists and have done for the last 30 plus years. I think they are around £12 for set of 10  - cannot remember what we paid this winter but they are fantastic value and beautiful paintings.  One of the best places around to buy cards is the Fair Trade Centre at Christ Church Barry Road. Fantastic selection with a starting price of £1.30.
