We now tend to buy each other practical items which is why I ended up with a new toaster rather than the Sigma 150 lens I have apparently been talking none stop about

So ... I'll be making mushrooms on toast as a special treat

Congratulations & Happy Anniversary to John and his good lady

My fella and I were planning to boycott valentines day in protest against social conditioning and shelling out yet more money....
Yet when I was getting ready for work this morning a lovely card and a bunch of gorgeously fragrant flowers (hyacinths, daffs and something I don't know) appeared from nowhere!! I'm now feeling both spoilt rotton and terrible for not getting him anything.......

he's so lovely.....

I've promised to cook him whatever he wants for tea and I can rustle up a belated card but wish I could do something more..........

Thanks David

OK, it looks like I'll be cooking Stir fry Beef, Ginger, Spring Onions and Wild mushrooms on egg fried (+fungi) rice A family favourite

... then I'll ask Annette if I can order the lens

[NickCantle]

Many congratulations from here too FJ my man. I tell you what, you've got it sorted with the dinner and then the lens Has it taken 32 years to master it? I can't wait to be able to do that, lol.

We had a similar idea but I sucumbed to sending a card .....and an e card - I was strong and didnt blow wads of cash on the interflora website tho

one of the girls in our office got 50 red roses delivered - which will have cost her fella 159 notes mind you I notice that the truly wealthy (or stupid, or both) can spend 500 notes on sending 100 roses with interflora - I think my young lady would not be pleased if I blew a third of a months salary on flowers (as i'm saving for a house deposit and wedding)

I wonder how much of that 500 quid makes it to the kenyan growers ? - not much I would suspect. ( I read somewhere that the growers in the third world get 12p per rose)

My hubby and I also decided against celebrating it because we don't need one day a year to show our love for each other (i know, i know, pass the sick bag)

But when we met up after work he gave me a big kiss and suddenly I was showered in confetti made from hundreds of little pieces of paper, on each one he'd hand written Happy Valentine's Claire! x

All my colleagues thought it was so sweet - I was just surprised he's managed to spell valentine's right (I'm such an old romantic!)

p.s. and yes, he did pick them all up off the floor himself!

Sixteen years ago today my better half asked me to marry him and although he knows that I think buying flowers on Valentines day is a waste of money but he still bought me a card, chocolates and a CD. Bless.

[galanthus]

I had a Ramones collectors thing consisting of 3 cds, a dvd and a 3d comic, then was brought a coffee and a dozen red roses in bed 'fore I scuttled off to work. Came home to the naked chef, (yes literally !! apart from the apron ), he cooked steak, baked pots and salad, we drank far too much red wine in front of log fire with katie mellua album on and then he watched a girlie film with me. fab.

As for some of you lot, what a bunch of lovely romantics

[barquar]

Had a great time at Martin Mere Greeted with Champayne taken off to sit in the hide were the flood lights were on and the Whooper swans were on the water given an hour long talk all about the swans, 8 oclock Taken back to the centre for a 3 course meal and drank a bottle off wine.Spoke to a nice couple who had been to photograph the red Squirels at Formby. Then Back to the B/B for overnight stay. Up next morning to spend the whole day At Martin Mere.

On sat, I was meant to take my gf to see Avenue Q, the british musuem and regents park to see the herons as a suprise. But the Show sold out and the british musuem was packed, but she did enjoy seeing the herons close up, and took lots of photos of the coots going berserk (even for coots!). She seemed to be satisfied and I got the life in cold blood book so im satisfied
