    What are you doing on Valentine's Day?

    Mods: can't seem to find the holiday and special occasion area, sorry if I'm just blind...

    What are you up to on Monday??

    Are you a hopeless romantic, with a massive day and/or night planned?

    Or are you a bit over it, not doing anything special?

    Do you indulge your loved one with a card, some choccies, flowers, anything? What about your partner, what do they do for you?

    What about those with kids? What are you planning? We're not going to have baby sitting options so I'm thinking just a nice dinner maybe... Once kids are asleep. What else could we do?

    DH and I celebrate the day we first "got together" on V-Day - i'm working all day (blurgh) and made him promise NO gifts or anything - we'll do something spesh together for dinner, but the over priced gimmicks just drive me nuts. i will probably go pick a rose from the garden before i go to work and give it to him though lol

    Mel - as much as I agree with you on not being big on Hallmark celebrations, I am a bit of a sucker for a big bunch of roses... But I'm always aghast at how expensive they are!!

    BG - we celebrate our engagement so we have another reason as well!

    Ubba - awwwwww that's a great V day!

    ZF - hug Hun! You're right, that is a lotta lurve

    Turtle - I think we've got Dear John around here somewhere ... DH would loooove that

    Might chill some bubbles, that'll be nice and special, we don't drink much since we had kids!!

    The usual daily grind

    Pre kids DH used to go all out, sending flowers to me at work, fancy dinners, etc. One year we went to a fancy restaurant and it all just seemed so fake and set up, everyone there for the exact same reason, eating the same thing.

    Since we've had kids, I told him no presents so the last couple of years he has cooked me dinner which is spesh for me as I get a night off cooking and he really puts the effort in and looks for a new recipe to learn. I'd prefer him to make a big deal on my birthday
