Yep..........totally agree Lee.

I've had a poorly back for the last fortnight and the fact that OH has taken over the school run where he can and also banned me from hoovering and doing anything that could make it worse means more to me than a bunch of flowers.........even a huge bouquet of flowers.

It's actions that count ultimately imho xx

i have decided to hold an ANTI-valentines this year. am going to sit at home alone with a ready meal in my oldest and most dusgusting pjs, with a bowl of ice cream and a film all by myself!

i think valentines is a silly idea, why spend money to say i love you- it's the little things that count. :D

Lee.

I always remember the year Mum had a Valentine card from Dad.She was so happy until...........she found out that all her friends had the same one ...(from Dad).She thought he could at least have given her a different one lol.
Poor Dad !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember being caught out Kay lol. I am not Norfolk born, so wasn't aware that in certain parts Valentin'es day is not about romance but this guy Jack!! My son made me feel like the worst mum in the world when he came home from school and angrily declared...........................do you know I'm the only kid who didn't get a present from Jack Valentine!!
I actually thought he was being victimised lol - it took me some time to realise who Jack was!!

Oh bother....................have to start saving for a ruby then

*wonders if they are cheaper*

xx

Count yourself lucky Mo.............just looked up mine for this year and it's linen or silk........

Whooopeee doooo LOLOL xx

***edit not that we take any notice of that whatsoever ........

Usually bottle of wine and a takeaway every year LOL xx

Oh b****r
Thanks guys
Dont think I will enlighten him
You see I prefer sapphires
Mind you,I would still wear rubies
He got me some ruby earings a few years ago

sapphire is 45 yrs I think

just thought I'd mention - 40th anniversary is Ruby, not Sapphire :-)

Ive been reading this thread with interest,as when we were children..Jack Valentine always visited...he knocked on the door and left pressies...just small ones.I think this is unique to some parts of Norfolk.It has been going on for years(he used to come to my mum,who is 83 this year)but I do wonder how long it will be before the tradition runs out.
Kay

No don't do Valentines... not as though I have one anyway lol.

See Asda were doing a bunch of red roses for £2. Woman on the telly said she'd be insulted if her husband gave her those.
Isn't that just pathetic... as if you can measure love by the amount of money spent.

Jean.

well i expect cards of you al telling me how fabulous i am and how much you all love me!!!!

BC it was probably the founder of the Seamans Mission lol

Valentines are supposed to be from secret admirers aren't they?

Me and Hagar are hardly secret admirers LOL

Ooooooooooo sounds very exotic BC !!!!

My money is on it being your milkman ;0)

I got a Valentine Card 40 years ago signed..'.Abdul Abul Bul Abeer XXX' I never did find out who sent it....lol...BC XX

Me & OH dont do valentines day either, we think it is a rip off. We don't need a special day to show that we love each other, as we say it every day to each other, and leave messages round the house etc...(my messages are usually, "can you leave me a tenner")....


nope sorry, but think it is a commercial, rip off....

Think her sums are correct for me Kitty
I have already put in my order Kitty,so live in hopes

Oooooooh a sapphire....................I could do with one of those.

Hayley......I think you need to check your sums!! *tuts*

xx

No we arnt Grumps
lol
Just unromantic on that day,maybe
