I like the A-Z one also. I could do some others but hubby is not as adventurous as me. 😜

I loved all these ideas JP and they made me chuckle but maybe I’m a tad unromantic or may be jaded nowadays - I just couldn’t be arsed! A card is about as much energy as I can muster (which I resent given the fortune the card companies make!) but I do expect him to go into full goddess mode and cook a sumptuous feast!

So you only have to buy a card, but he has to cook up a storm? Diva! 🤣🤣

This is so funny, JP! Hubby in Nutella allergy ooops-suit! But I absolutely love your romantic Crete glasses hideaway shenanigans. You really must go back to check if they're still there! X

Wouldn’t it be the thing ever if they were still there!

Oh I love this ! The A-Z is a wonderful one and we’ve been together FOREVER ..so I could do this quick I reckon ! As for the Jockstraps …😂😂 when I used to make the leather pose pouches and straps for Expectations I brought one home for the keeping 😂 yes he looked ridiculous even with that 20 something year olds figure 😬 hehe the thought is always better than the reality ! That’s always the way !

Yep we’ll join you on your meal deal and that’ll be us darling ❤️🥂

I love that you used to make leather wear for the pleasure industry! What a life you’ve led darling! Were you sporting the punk look then? Utterly fabulous! X

Last year we escaped in our caravan to Norfolk for Valentines Day. We travelled down the night before with dinner ready to cook, spent the day walking on the beach with our pooches and went back for fizz and an M & S meal deal before spending the rest of the evening playing games. It was blissful

A great , funny read. I’ll put my thinking cap on, although as I’ll be two days post surgery I may have to defer Valentine’s Day until later, or perhaps do before. X

I think it’s much more exciting to do something on another day.
