Valentine’s Day tips-to do and not to do!

[tescorank]

So top tips and ideas.

Start with avoiding restaurants on the day as overbooked and had a mate who ran one (now 5) said “annual sweep the fridge out day-as won’t see em again”

But on a positive, coffee some roses (box of) for breakfast and a box of nice perfume works for me !

Petrol station bouquets look like petrol station bouquets - go and get a decent bouquet today before it's too late.

If your planning go to a restaurant where a bloke comes around with an overpriced rose in a cellophane wrapping, buy a single rose and leave it in the car.

Ask the sales assistant in Ann Summers/VS to model the lingerie you want to buy. At the very worst you'll get a slap...

Brekkie in bed is always a good start.
I'll be completely honest regarding flowers. I've tried many florists and supermarkets over the years and yet Lidls flowers still always come out on top.

Because those who own and run the bigger supermarkets are a bunch of charlatans, i bought flowers for the wife yesterday because come tomorrow, they will be priced accordingly for those who 'forgot' Valentines day.
having said that, i also bought her flowers just because, so she got 2 bunches and that lets me off for any mistakes i will make for the next day or so*

I like Valentine's Day because come the 15th and 16th the supermarkets will be selling some rather strikingly coloured flowers for not much money. They can really brighten up the place.

A silly tip from me for those who have also been married for over three decades. Agree to buy each other the most awful cards you can find. Always amusing and as a bonus, awful cards from awful shops are often as cheap as chips. The abomination I bought this morning cost 99p.

Do not forget.

Top tip, don't be born on Valentine's Day to a mother who will name you Valentine as a result.

I missed it by some lucky hours. My mother has a sense of humour but I wouldn't have seen the funny side of it. She told me she would have. It very nearly was my first name and if she was feeling nice would have made it my middle name instead.

I've been with my wife 30+ years although we took our time about getting married. Cards are the only guilt trip now. She'll claim not to want one but she'll remember if I don't buy one, that has been put to the test. All the roses and chocolates and cuddly teddy bears bks, been there and done it bought her loads. Best tip is treat her like you do every day and treat her well every day and ignore valentine's.

I don't agree with the crap cards option. That will get wry amusement and be remembered.

Managed to always convince her that: 'Valentines Day doesn't exist - EVERY day is like Valentines day'

Also her birthday is today so it would all become a nonsense.

Wife's away at her mothers till the 15 th.
Yeeeeessssssss!

Biggest don't is surely - Don't propose

If she accepts no one will notice as thousands will be doing it
If she refuses, everyone will remember.

And if you do get married you definitely better not ever forget again

Wipe it on the curtains afterwards. Always good to mark your territory at least once a year.

Knew a Danish bloke who was working temporarily in the US. He didn’t do anything for Valentine’s Day and just told his (temporary US) girlfriend that he’d never heard of it as it wasn’t something they had in Denmark. Got away with it as well!
