Valentine's Day (12 days to go)

H

What is everyone going to be doing?

My bloke has asked me to go away for the weekend but I said no because it will be stupid prices and also my parents will freak out as we still have a few months to go before getting hitched. He also asked if I wanted to go out to dinner but I'm not keen on that either as I would feel akward in a restaurant full of couples trying to be romantic....argh.

It's a little too commercial for me I think!

My bf is being made redundant from next tuesday so I doubt we will do much

Blimey H, some girls have all the luck! What I wouldn't give for my bloke to want to whisk me away for Valentines* or take me out to dinner! It will be a miracle if I even get a card



*(I totally understand you need to wait until he's made an honest woman of you to keep your parents happy!!)

I'm with you, H. All a bit commercial for me too. Some years my bf and I decide to buy a gift together, but it ends up being so completely unromantic, it is now a joke.

Examples of Valetines day gifts he and I have bought together include an edge-trimmer for the garden, an outdoor blower-vacuum thingy for the dog fur on the back verandah, and private health insurance! Swoon!

We've decided to give each other a non-Valentines present, either on the 13th or 15th, and not anything comercially Valentines

K

I'm going to Bruges for the weekend, staying at this cute little guest house, don't do the whole present thing though.

H

Awww Jen, you can make him an extra special meal at home, cheer both of you up!

I think that's what I'm going to do, make dinner at home, although haven't decided what to make. Anyone know any romantic veggie recipes?

I'm going to make a card as well, only because I get the chance to fling glitter around and make a mess with glue Maybe some aftershave as well...

Cut all the vegetables into heart shapes, good with potatoes but not sure how easy it would be with carrots.

Now here's a challenge - I wonder if the PGFT can make that sprout smiley into a heart-shaped sprout smiley...
