    Well, I haven't spent anything. Mainly cos neither of us do the romantic thing. Also I'd never hear the end of it from his Dad if I bought him anything, he's still taking the mick because I got him a card with "love" on it for his birthday a couple of years ago.

    I think my Valentine's present from him is a lift home from the pub on Friday...

    i refuse to buy into valentines day because i think that hallmark is behind it.

    she will get a happy valentines day comment, but im not spending a cent.

    Absolutely, it's all a big corporate conspiracy. And it works! What else apart from a massive, hallmark induced, guilt trip would make men lose all common sense and buy roses in the middle of winter?

    I'll make my own card - nothing says "I love you" like one of my cardboard disasters :)

    Around £40 on a dozen red roses :)
    Another £5 on a cute picture frame, which I'm going to put a picture of us both in and when we get to meet again, I'll be giving it to her in person :) (so, it'll be a very late Valentine gift)

    Quiet life because you a) remembered and b) bothered: Priceless!

    I don't know how much Tommeh has spent on me but i hope not too much cos i personally think he's worth far more to me than anything he could buy!!

    I love him very much and he's the best valentine's day present ever!!!

    Sorry for being soppy:blush: :blush: :blush: :blush:

    About £3.57 :)

    Card = £1.59
    Multi-coloured metallic sticky letters (to write card with) = 99p
    Black sticky letters (to write address with) = 99p

    I have sent mine to a close friend who doesn't believe he is attractive and whom I love very much, I'm hoping its going to cheer him up! :)

    Offcourse He'll be texting me when he gets home and asking for my help in discovering who sent it..oh the fun of knowing! :D
    I sprayed it with my body spray tho, but he probably won't notice lol!

    Sim City 4 $49.00

    But, Sim City is for both of us :)

    I got the LOTR:FOTR Collectors Edition, that's a great present :)

    'bout £30-£40.

    Flowers: £10
    Card: £2
    Film: £18
    Food: £5 (home made)

    Effort: £priceless :p


    Decided we'd stay in this year (first time in four!) and cooked a home-made lasagne, and baked a cake for afters. Total cost with flowers, card, film, food, etc cost about £35.

    Cheaper than the £50 for 12 red roses delivered last year! :eeek:

    £32 on a dozen roses delivered for free on her day off, then we went out for a meal so all together £60-70

    She's worth it though
