How much for your loved one?

**babyB** · 14th February 2006, 11:26

im not sure why ppl go overboard on this day.....is it to try and make up for forgetting to love the other 364 days of the year?...363, take out ya birthday....

No amount of money or gifts will take tthe place of true love
but the knowing you are held in their hearts
cradled in the depths of their souls
for as long as you wish to be there.
is an every day loveafair.

food for thought; have a look and decide what St Valentines day is

Brought her a bunch of roses and a card. Cooked dinner last night and was considering doing it again tonight. All i get is a ecard that I can't even look at at work. I think Im going to undertake a bridging experiemt next year and not bother with anything. Be interesting to see what sort of reaction I get to that

I voted "We have an agreed limit - we both get equal value gifts." 'cause in this case our agreed limit is $0.00. It's an absolute load of bullshit.

I should say, we'rewith you on this. We'll be going out on the 19th to celebrate the anniversary of getting engaged, no needing to book a restaurant, no inflated prices and it actually means something to us.

And will you raise a glass and toast our great leader for establishing the Civil Union?

As if people in relationships haven't already got enough to think about, along comes Valentines Day. Another naff Americanism.

Unnecessary emotional blackmail to festoon one's significant other with flowers, chocolate, wine and candle-lit dinners.

Lots of insecure men worrying and wondering about the sufficiency of their offering, that can be so conspicuously measured against those of others. The economic penis envy of bigger being better?

Lots of insecure women sitting by their letterboxes or front doors waiting for deliveries of flowers (what, no roses?), or apprehensively wondering whether or not to cook dinner in case Mr Right has a restaurant outing planned. Perhaps a script for Shortland Street?

Hopefully most people in relationships don't need to be driven by commercial pressures to show their love for their partner/spouse for one day a year. But then that may put a few Hindustani rose growers out of business.

Last year I spent $12,000 on myself for Valentines Day. And so my beast and I went for a nice wee ride today to celebrate her 1st birthday.

Got to love the time difference between UK and NZ , I got a whole day to sort this out , thanks for the heads up, I'd forgotten about the date.

We're off to see the group "Simple Minds" (showing age) tonight, not sure if that will suffice as a valentines gift. Hopefully will be ok , otherwise, the wife got me a driving voucher to drive a Ferrari around Silverstone on Friday , then off for a valentines ball this weekend http://www.englandtango.com/ (nice couple thing to do) and hopefully will ride a vintage motorcycle as well . Should be a good one this year! , But I ain't going to be spending 80 pounds on roses !
