She's expecting something.

The surprise is, she'll get sweet FA. Everyone wins.

Why do women make this day oh so important for a relationship. Its the magazines they read ill tell you - propaganda.

You're welcome.

Actually it's about as helpful as most other replies. I suggest you use your credit card if you've only £12.50 to your name, how's that?

You should have gone upmarket this year.

Tesco were advertising Thortons chocs and rose-looking alcohol for a fiver.

Hmmm thinking cap on.

Try this, get drunk but don't go to the toilet, arrive home, offer to make her a cuppa and then pee into the kettle.

This works on many levels; you'll be relieved, she gets a cuppa, and very shortly afterwards she'll never mention valentines again. (we know this as a fellow PHer has done this and his otherhalf said he was really witty, and how glad she was to have him around. I think thats what happened anyway).

rofl

if you're gonna get dumped, do it in style

don't know why, but i just thought you meant clubbing alone. if you meant with your OH, i don't think she'd think that was a great way to spend valentine's day
