Well it's that time of year again so what is everyone planning or hoping for on St Valentines Day and what would be your most wished for treat if money was no option. I think I would like to be whisked somewhere hot, lie on the beach and drink cocktails, washed down with lots of expensive chocolate (off to Norway next week so not ruddy likely):(
Mr CDV is really romantic most of the time and I have flowers almost weekly, he buys me gifts and chocolates and we eat out a lot. He gets upset at being told that on this day he has to do this and do that, fat cats making money and all that. I wonder what it will hold for me![:X]

Love is in the air
Everywhere I look around
Love is in the air
Every sight and every sound
And I don't know if I'm being foolish
Don't know if I'm being wise
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when I look in your eyes
Love is in the air
In the whisper of the tree
Love is in the air
In the thunder of the sea
And I don't know if I'm just dreaming
Don't know if I feel safe
But it's something that I Must believe in
And it's there when you call out my name
Love is in the air
Love is in the air
Love is in the air
In the rising of the sun
Love is in the air
When the day is nearly done
And I don't know if you are an illusion
Don't know if I see truth
But you are something that I must believe in
And you are there when I reach out for you
Love is in the air
Everywhere I look around
Love is in the air
Every sight and every sound
And I don't know if I'm being foolish
Don't know if I'm being wise
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when I look in your eyes
Love is in the air
Love is in the air
Love is in the air
Love is in the air
Not in this house this week!! too mad!!

Bought Mr M his flight to Orlando, thought I better let him come along [msnwink]
We have done most things, dinner on the Orient Express Northern Belle one year, concieved my baby girl after that one, weekend in Paris, trip to New York, new car another year, diamond braclet etc etc so we are now very very happy without any of the material gifts we are happy just to be together and to share a bottle of bubbly at home [grouphug][grouphug][grouphug]
I usually get flowers delivered, which is nice, and I cook a nice meal in the evening, but to be honest, its for the unmarrieds to me -I have more fun sending my son anon Valantines day cards!!:D

My hubby will be on his way to the US on valentines day for work, so no romantic meal for us.[msncry][msnsmile]
LiesaAnna
12-02-2006, 15:25
you'll no doubt be in each others thoughts tho Sarah, cant put a price on real love!! dont need special days to remember how much you love one another!![msnwink] we only buy cos the kids want us to, we say "i love you" every day and we mean it, just knowing my man is coming home to me and the kids each and every day is good enough, and has done for almost 27 years!

Well said Liesa Anna , years ago a friend of mine worked as a florist in a posh city centre florist , every Friday morning this guy would come in and place an order for a nice bouquet to be delivered to his wife ,then he placed an order to have the top of the range bouquet send to another lady (she was a Miss ). Lets hope by now the wife has got her revenge.

We celebrate at home like Julie said with one true soul mate. Being together since we were 14 years old, married when we were 18, 30 years coming up. Looking forward to another thirty. I always said to people that if I won the lottery I would not know what to buy as I have been lucky enough to have everything that I have ever wanted and having someone like my hubby is better than a million anyday. Oh by the way he is not the least bit romantic, but never a day has gone past without him saying I.L.Y and meaning it.So it is valentines every day for me.

My hubby and I share the same birthday, 2 days after Valentines Day, it got quite expensive 3 celebrations in one week so Valentine's Day bit the dust a long time ago[msnsad]
As he works abroad we often don't spend birthdays together either unless it is at the weekend [msncry]
This year I will be travelling to Manchester on my birthday and away at the weekend, in Florida with my sister[msnwink][clap][clap] So no celebrations of any sort this year[msneek]
LiesaAnna
12-02-2006, 21:18
Neil you'll be at home with her thats good enough am sure!![msnwink] bet she'll love the footy match too!![msnwink]
Julie, wasnt having a dig at you really, just saying we dont do things like that cos we have never had that kind of money to waste as far as im concerned!!
Happy Velentines day to all!![msnwink]

There is no "wasnt having a dig at you really" about it and its not the first time, jealousy is not becoming[msnwink]
As for it being a waste of money, I still have the car and the braclet , the wonderful memories of the trips and I treasure them every day[msnsmile2]

We will give each other cards and my hubby may surprise me with some flowers.........he'd better.
I do like to make a little fuss for my daughters, I always send a card, my eldest always believes it's from a mystery admirer, maybe a rose and some heart shaped chocs.

Last year my 16 year old (he was 15 then) did the romantic flowers and meal with his girlfriend, they had been together for 2 years, then at Easter they split up. This year apparentlyValentines Day is a commercialised waste of time and hes not wasting his hard earned money.[msnoo] I'll remind him of that next year if hes got a steady girlfriend by then.[msnwink][msnsmile2]

Well
i'll be having a nice cosy quiet night in watching the box with my darling husband
interrupted frequently by the children's usual nightime demands, i am not expecting cards or flowers, i know my man loves me and thats all i need[msnsmile2]
he did buy me a house though for our 5th valentines day [msnwink] he gave me a envelope with a drawing of a house inside and i thought he was winding me up until we drove up to the site and there was our little plot with nothing but the foundations and we sat in the car for hours just looking at this little plot of land that was going to be our first house[msnsmile2] aaaaahhh

I have bought my husband a new radio/cd player for our kitchen, he loves talk sport and the volume is broken so it is always too loud. There have been times I've felt like throwing the old one at a wall[msnmad]
i like this Paula
my dh also loves to listen to talk sport, only with the headphones on [clap] and if we're in the car it only takes one glance from me and the radio is switched pretty fast to "something with music"[msnwink]

I Cooked a nice meal and we are saving our celebration til the weekend. I bough Mr CDV a card about 10 days ago and could I find it!! He's not worried though still thinks it is a load of nonsense as apparently 73% of the British public do[msneek]

thats lovely CDV, obviously knows your taste so well
Well my hubby never remembers, and last night I was going out the door to work, and he was coming in the door, we always pass like this in the hallway on a Tuesday evening. The kids rushed up to hug Dad, and he turned and said 'Oh Happy Valentines Day by the way' and gave me a kiss. The kids were jumping up and down laughing and 'ooooohing'. Very cute!
