    Wink Its almost Valentines Day...

    It is almost upon us again.So are you organising anything special for a loved one this Saturday? Or do you think you are going to be the one to be spoiled? Are you excited about it or is it just another day of the year in your life?

    I have organised a trip to a remote beach for the weekend so DH can surf his little heart out. Also a new CD of classical love songs to listen to. Ummm can't wait. I wonder what he has in store for me !

    DH and I initially got together on Valentines Day, so it's spesh for us anyway. i know he has a present for our "anniversaries" but not sure if i'll get it on Saturday or on our wedding anniversary next Wednesday...

    i'm planning (if he's home - still don't know!) to make a roast dinner with all the trimmings, light all the candles that are around, and just enjoy each others company. we'll prolly watch a movie (so nothing toooo romanatic) and just be together. we were supposed to be going to Sydney which we had to cancel, so he might ask for Pizza instead!! if he does that, we'll have roast for wedding anni next week

    We are going away and I JUST CAN'T WAIT. We are going to stay in a cabin on a friends holiday property, or we can camp by the water if the weather is nice.
    We are going to catch yabbies and go fishing and be lazy and snuggly.

    DH and i never get to crazy at Valentines Day but this year we have decided not to spend any money on each other, instead we will donate what we would have spent on presents, special food etc to the Fire appeal.

    Non event here this year, we have a naming day on Saturday and we're the 'godparents' (not sure if that's the right term for a non religious ceremony??) so we'll be busy with that.

    It's hit and miss here, some years he does something, others not.

    Awww Kel... That's the thing with these days - they can really throw up in your face what you feel is lacking...

    I am a bit of a Valentines freak actually... I love it - the world needs more romance and more loooove I think! So I go out all stops!

    DP always sends me flowers so I'm curious to see if he'll do the same this year I'm going to bake him some shortbread (his fave) and thinking about buying him some new aftershave and we are going to the outdoor cinemas. We can take DS with us to that. We felt guilty asking someone to babysit on Valentine's Day when most people just want to be with their loved one. So it's a family Valentine's for us

    Its our 6th wedding anniversay on Saturday.
    It took me till the following year to figure out Valentines day is the most expensive day to celebrate your anniversary, ah well we live an learn.
    We are staying in the city on Friday night instead, dinner, buffet breakfast on Saturday morning.
    We're going to the footy (romantic huh?) on Friday night, lucky for him its all for a good cause (bushfire fundraising).

    I had planned a surprise picnic for DH at the beach, but it looks as though it will be raining... so now I am planning to have a picnic on our loungeroom floor with candles burning all around the room. DH has to work most of the day on Sat so it makes it easy for me to give him a surprise... I have no idea what he has planned for me.

    I haven't read everyone's comments, but its now after 4.30 in the arvo, and the Man and I have not even hinted at saying Happy Valentines Day (let alone anything to do with it!). He's been at work all day, and has just left with the 4wd and trailer full of goodies for the bushfire relief. You know, I forgot that it was Valentine's Day until I read the title of this thread. Oops!
