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).

    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068. 
    • Colin.    One for the old school.   Just saying.
    • Signed, and I will share it elsewhere, thank you for posting this. It's got nearly 70,000 signatures at present, and apparently runs till February.
    • There’s a couple of Gov petitions going on in relation to fireworks at the moment but this one is for banning them entirely except organised displays if anyone wants to sign. This is the only sensible way forward in my view. No one should be able to let them off in gardens or anywhere like that, it’s crazy. I am surprised some of you have said it hasn’t been as bad this year. I live near DKH Saino and it’s been absolutely terrible my way for days. This petition gained about 20,000 just in the last day or so so clearly the appetite is there! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/732559
