Valentines day

[Guest musiclove123]

Just went to Tescos to buy the wife a card. I didn't particularly want to, but she likes to get one so I do.

What a pile of mushy shite - I'm amazed there isn't a continuous stream of vomit flowing down by the card aisle. FFS - does ANYONE enjoy getting such fabricated tripe in an envelope? It's horrible.

I hate the teddy bears carrying love hearts. They're not cute.

I hate the rows of flowers and chocolates lining the shelves.

I hate all the shelves being red. It's like being in the Man Utd club shop and only more vomit enducing

I just hate this annoying, gimmicky, made up day.

Two days of the year, I spoil her rotten - her birthday and our anniversary, because they're special to us. Being told that a particular day is supposed to be special does my head in.

Bah.

Oh-looks like I will be going out for a meal afterall- I am being treated to it so how can I say no?!! Wont actually be on the day (13th) but it will be nice.

You are right Katser-it is the little things that really add up to someone caring like little treats without being prompted/nagged and the cups of tea/coffee that appear when you least expect them

I have no comprehension as to why your wife would put you through that because she likes to get a card?! It's madness!

All I ever want is for my bloke to treat me because HE WANTS TO, not because I want him to.

He loves pork scratchings so if I see them and I've got pennies, I buy him a bag, just like that, because I think of him when I see them. As I've said in the singles thread he used to buy me cheese because he knows I like it (though that seems to have dried up a little, of late ).

If he's buying beers for himself he'll buy me a bottle of wine or some lemonade so I can steal some of his beer and have shandy. If he's out of bed before me he'll make me a cup of coffee, if I know he's staying over and we're having a lazy morning I'll get bacon in because I know he loves bacon butties.

Now, I guess the same could be said that you are buying your wife a card because she likes them and so you are thinking of her, but it just seems different somehow to me. Do you buy her cards at other times of the year (not her birthday or your anniversary) just because she likes them???

[Katster]

I think she quite enjoys making me suffer actually. She says she finds it amusing when I go off on one.

I normally find the most repulsively disgusting card I can and write the most patronising poem I can think of. It makes her laugh.

She really doesn't like the day itself, luckily enough.

You're right though - I'll buy her little things if I'm in a shop. Not expensive things, just small things, or something that's an 'in-joke'. But that's because I want to. It's fun.

It's obviously a load of bollocks

For me it's made worse by the fact a lot of my friends seem to see it as an equal to Christmas or a Birthday and spend ridiculous amounts on extravagant presents, then whinge that they can't afford a night down the pub. Case in point, my best mate has paid for a holiday in Cuba as a Valentines present! He's only on around 17K and spent a ridiculous ammount on her christmas presents too! How does he think he can afford such a thing as gifts for a made up occassion?!

If it were a significant date on the calendar it would be a bank holiday, it's not, so don't get sucked it by it's bullshit.

Isn't valentines day the 14th?

Yes it is but it is still nice to do it on the 13th. Sunday night is no good if you have to get up for work and want to have some drinks. Can't relax the same. I'm rebelling

I'm an absolute beast in bed and nobody has ever paid for me to go to Cuba!!!

If they only offer a dirty weekend in Skegness, I'd advise working on your technique.

[Langdale Wolf]

I haven't even had that!

[dakyras]

are you "insecure" enough to buy her presents on her birthday?

[Katster]

That is a day that is actually about her and celebrating the fact that she's alive.

[rachbon]

would you be pissed of if your bf got you a new pair of jammies for the radiator, purely cause it's valentines day?

[metallimuse]

I shall be seranading every cute girl that walks into my club on Sunday with a rose,we have also printed up loads of ''Your hot,come in for for free'' promo cards for the single girls.

I'm also buying a big box of chocolates for a girl i know who i accidently ended up hitting in the face in a drunken high five attempt on Monday night during my bday celebrations,the shame.

[sadwitch]

Katster- I'm sorry to hear it's "dried up a bit now". I think you can buy stuff to help with that though...
