Can't retrain him now, he's too old! And if I say, can you get me a fruit tree instead, he'd panic because he wouldn't know which to get, lol! I may tell my kids for Mother's Day though ;D

I am a bit of an old romantic,
I bought the wife flowers 3 times in 23 years
1 - First child
2 - Second child
3 - When she had measles ;D
-
Cor 3 times in 23 years! :o You're definitely an old romantic! Don't you overstrain yourself and get her another bunch :bouquet: ;D ;D

I got a Valentines card. I would rather have got home from work and found the dogs and yard done, pigs and chickens fed and watered and the kettle on. Hah!!!! Valentines, humbug!!!!
-
:bouquet: :-* to you!!
Happy valentines day.
Exchanged cards, had nice meal and a lazy day, and chocolate! I too prefer a plant or shrub to flowers... but its February, so Im prepared to wait!
-
:love: no cards here, but i did get a lie in with tea in bed whilst Simon fed the animals - way better than a card. And I had his attention all day and we went for a lovely walk and as it was valentines day I got a kiss at every kissing gate!! Its amazing how the ordinary sorts of things can be so romantic with your special person...... I'm either dead lucky or a complete sucker and I really don't care which....
:love:

I got a card and he regave me the plastic paperweight he gave me when I was 16, he was 17 (a cube filled with red hearts that float in a water solution... water long gone all leaked out). the message inside the card had the words, ''I dont always show it but i love you more now than when I gave you this present the first time round)
I am now 43 and he is 44, this afternoon he booked a cottage in the cornish fishing village of polperro for the end of July which coincides with our 25th wedding aniversary, this is also the place where we spent our honeymoon 25 yrs ago.
soppy bugger........must remember this next time he annoys me! lol
-
Oh that's lovely! :love:

I get really confused on Valentines day. When my OH first got together and our first Valentines was approaching he Bullishly announced that he didn't believe in Valentines and so I wouldn't be getting anything. I thought, no, he can't really mean that we're in love aren't we. But he did! That was 11 years ago. So Valentines has never existed in our house until 3 years ago when he suddenly gave me a card totally out of the blue. So, me being a woman thought " What's he done or what's he wanting!" Then last year, I didn't know whether to get him a card so didn't, but then he gave me one. So, this year I thought I would definitely get him a card and he goes and ups the ante by getting me a card and a miniture red rose plant.
I'm so confused - what should I do next year?!
-
Give him a black eye in case! ;) ;D ;D ;D My Auntie used to slap her four daughter's bums every time they went by her. When they asked what it was for - every time she replied 'just in case!' ;D ;D
-
My Ex never bought me cards flowers ect I used to buy him a card and one year, he opened the card from me and honestly kept wondering WHO had sent him it, never thought it was me even when I told him!!!bet he HAS to give his new girlfriend a card and flowers and other stuff!!!! My partner always gives me a card and he has done a lot to help me today, he was going to cook a meal but that was changed...one year he picked arms full of medow flowers and they were beautiful and lived for a while, he did not know it was illegal bless him!!!!

Sorry didn't get up to see Rhum today - Sarah arrived with the brood. Too much on rest of the week I think as I'm away Thursday afternoon till Monday night. AHve given dog sitter your number for emergencies! ;D
-
LOL MM! You have to match him in gifts ;) Can't suggest anything because wouldn't know what he'd like. My hubby's quite safe - as long as it's books, or his fav fragrance (or something new but along the same lines) or computer games, and he's happy.
Marigold, Sandy and juliag- awww your hubbies are all really sweet ;D
-
Yes girls how did you manage to train those huubies so well? What's your best tip?!!
-
I wondered what had happened, I thought you may have been swept off your feet by a knight in shinning armor!! We have been very busy too, full to capacity next week with someone turning up tonight and NO washing machine again But I will go to the Laundry if it cannot be repaired, the drum seal was off and tangled around my washing....it is still under warranty so fingers crossed!!!!
I have a Valentine memory, hope he is not on this Forum...here goes.
I was 16 and me and mum ran a cafe and used to get regular visits from the local beat policeman who was 18, I fancied him but was going with my to be husband and the policeman was engaged and always always talking about her romantically, buying her stuff and telling me and mum what he was planning....time passed they married, we all kept in touch and he still appeared romantic and of course I married. Lost touch but knew he had done very well in the force and that was an achievement in itself, he was of "his words" Gypsy origin and was a small, long haired Buddist hippy ho played classical guitar and wrote about lost worlds. I did a placement in a police station not too long ago and remembered he worked there so I asked about him, they called him Confusiouse and said he used to play his classical guitar to the prisoners in the cells!!! He had JUST retired and blow me, he turned up to collect some stuff, we chatted and again he went on and on about his wife, told me how long he had been married for and how he was taking his wife for a surprise valentine trip to China, he planned the route with a train ride to co incide with the Cherry Blossom comming out on the trees, he had bought her a Ruby ring etc etc....I thought...truly romantic, oh he also spoke Mandarin!! Anyway, I knew he went on to teach Thai Chi and grow Bonsai Trees and found out, he had numerous affairs for years so YES....a True, two timming romantic!!

I inherited him after he'd had years of training with the snow queen, who demanded the world and gave nothing. So now he really appreciates me - well a lot of the time.
His mother said that 'the woman sets the standards and the man rises or falls to them' I think I got lucky, following someone with demanding standards.
It is an odd one valentines day isn't it? I'm sure that many of us are torn between cynical dislike of commercialisation and really enjoying a bit of romance.
Top tip for romance - make sure he knows how happy he makes you - its easy to forget that bit when the dinner needs cooking and kids are asking for unreasonable stuff and there's mud for acres around and really, why did he not think to put the dinner on?
