Valentine's Day >>>>>>>>>> bah humbug! What a waste of time and money. I received zero, nil, nothing, zilch too Aunty! Well, actually I tell a little fib, because I did get a card from Jess, my four legged friend that I sponsor, but nothing from any suitable indigenous two legged species!!

Hi all

Happy Valentines Day :-)



OH and I exchanged cards ................. as we have since we got engaged 45 years ago.

No flowers, no gifts, no special dinners ........EVER!



Worse thing over here is that kids are pressured to give Valentines cards to parents, grandparents, teachers, relatives etc etc


you can packs of cards for kids to give away


If they want to give a card to one person in their class, they have to give a card to EVERYONE ............. heaven forbid that anyone not receive a card. It will scar their psyches for ever .... or so we are told!

Some schools have forbidden card giving.

Flowers are on the weekly shopping list ............ and now that OH does it by himself most weeks, that means he buys me flowers every week :-)


I started the practice back in 1992 when he and daughter were living in NZ, and I had to stay here by myself ................ having new flowers every week made the house seem a little less lonely.


He also used to buy me flowers on our anniversary, in addition to a gift ......... he tried to always get the flowers that I'd had in my wedding bouquet (something his dad used to do for his mother) .................. but it was a little difficult over here. He was able to get red roses, white carnations and white freesias (most years) ........... but never the lily-of-the-valley!


Then we bought the cabin in 1997, and are up there either at anniversary time or planning on going up the day after, so the habit has gradually stopped.

aw shucks Sylvs...

My father-in-law would do the breakfast tray in bed thing and he would put a one stemmed flower in this little vase on it. He was such a lovely man .. shame about her though :-( :-0

I have that vase now and unless I get it out of the cupboard to use it does not see the light of day, himself probably doesn't even know we have it. :-S

........ largely because I keep forgetting that he is probably Asperger's and very detailed oriented.
