Valentine's Day tomorrow - any plans???


Recommended Posts

everyone seems to have this one sussed - Cassius put it best IMO


Been with LadyMacG for 13 years now - and nowt to do with taking her to hastily re-arranged restaurants with reduced menus at inflated prices


And we are both people who love a restaurant meal...

Where is the romance?


So do you not celebrate Christmas, Anniversaries and Birthdays because Hallmark sell cards? Surely the day is what YOU make it and you don't need to be a slave to commerc1alism in order to enjoy the sentiment?


Agree that the worst time to go out for dinner or plan a weekend away has got to be around Valentines Day.

Agree that there's nothing more cheesy than a box of choc's and a bouquet of over priced roses.

Agree that you shouldn't leave it to one day a year to show your love.


But to make a little effort to do something personal and meaningful without bowing to the demands of consumerism is really not that difficult. Just takes a little imagination, some creativity and a liberal amount of love.


Enjoy the day and make somebody (partber or not) smile FFS! Like KK says, 'Feel the love, man.'


Love and kisses xxx

I love Valentine's day, but why oh why does it have to be slap bang in the middle of Lent when a girl has given up chocolate and confectionery? I think that I would love one of those super heart shaped glass pendants from the window of Moo Too - from the children's private swimming instructor at Dulwich College (sigh). James can buy me diamonds - I would never accept anything less from my smiling man...
I'll arrange for some flowers to be delivered (despite having to pay twice what I usually do for roses), stay at home and cook my wife a good dinner accompanied by a good bottle of wine. Afterwards - maybe a decent movie with coffee and chocs. A little quiet perhaps, but it's what we've done for 19 years. Routine and romance can go hand in hand (pun deliberate).

    • That's a lot of ham to get through every two days, fellow Dave.
    • As @Angelina says, We Choose Medivet LL Over the likes of 'Snoots' because We have an incredible Vet there who has actually correctly diagonsed what is wrong with our Elderly cat on two occasions before the blood test results even came back and because being part of a chain when he suddenly became seriously unwell we were able to go their Camberwell Emergency 24 hour Vet.
    • Either to borrow or buy for a pickup tomorrow evening! 
    • Did Xmas in Southern India years ago, odd having piped carols when there was no actual celebration.  Cuba was nice and chilled.  Viet Nam before mass tourism on a very quiet beach.  Mexico/ Oaxaca was lovely and sunny with a radish festival too.  Iceland was exactly that - cold and very icy and we got snowed in.  My favourite in Spain was Granada and going down to the beach (and swimming) on Xmas day.  Did the same in Morocco.  Central Nigeria was a different one with lots of singing and dancing at a three hour church service and all the bright colours.  Two times in small resorts in France skiing, once with an absolute bucket full of snow on Xmas evening.  Mountain restaurants open. London dull in comparison.  Not that I am competing of course.
