    It’s my flatmate’s birthday, so we’re inviting a load of people round for dinner (probably with lots of wine involved)

    Don't buy into the whole valentines day thing, we won't celebrate, just an ordinary day

    For one year only we'll be buying Valentine's cards for each other, purely to buy one that says fiancé/fiancée (probably Tesco value cards!), I like to collect cards to look back on, these can go between all the engagement cards and wedding cards in my big card storage box! Other than that I'll be treating it like any other weekday, Hallmark have enough money so I don't like to give them more, or to pay inflated restaurant prices for one night.

    i took the day after off so im going to out out and get drunk


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,947 ✭✭✭✭Neyite


    We dont do the whole restaurant thing - if I go out to dinner I want to choose what I want on the menu, and eat it at my pace, not have a choice of 4 starters, 4 mains and dessert with a cheap thimbleful of sparkling wine and the waiting staff coughing meaningfully to give us the hint to pay up and leave, getting ripped off in the process.

    This year though, I think I will try and find a card to him from me and the baby.

    Steak & chips night at home! Oh wait, it's a Tuesday, I have Pilates. (Unless my instructor has a hot date...)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,713 ✭✭✭✭Novella


    I have a big assignment due that day so I imagine I'll stress about it all morning, submit it at about 2:50pm (it's due before 3pm!) and then I'll eat a lot of ice cream to congratulate myself!

    I'm going to see Melissa Etheridge play in the Olympia, WOOOOOOOO! It'll be wall to wall lesbians, huzzah! :p

    Usually though, it goes by, might have a dinner with napkins with my girlfriend (posh or what???), but it's our anniversary the week before and we make a bigger deal of that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,485 ✭✭✭✭Ickle Magoo


    Nowt, it falls in the same week as my birthday and we'd rather celebrate that than hallmark/christian martyrs.


    Spot the romantic! :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,846 ✭✭✭barbiegirl


    We'll plan a special meal, light the fire, cook dinner together, then relax on the sofa and cuddle. Yep not the different from other nights, but we will make an effort on the meal :D
    To me it's just an excuse to get extra lovey dovey


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,032 ✭✭✭Bubblefett


    We don't really do much for Valentines Day because our anniversary is 2 days later- 5 years this year :D
    Normally spent Valentines hanging out and watching crap on tv and then do something nice for the Anniversary.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,877 ✭✭✭stripysocks85


    I am SO glad I am not the only female that doesn't buy into the whole Valentine's Day thing. I am SICK of hearing about it. Seriously - does someone have to make an effort on one day and not the other 364 days?!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 227 ✭✭chirogirl


    Unfortunately, i'll be spending it in the Family law courts. Where I'll be pursuing maintenance :(.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,424 ✭✭✭Storminateacup


    First year engaged, so hopefully well go away for it but not on that weekend or day as it's too cheesy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,698 ✭✭✭✭Princess Peach


    I love Valentines Day :o I even liked it when I was single and would send a card to my sister! I still do every year!

    Can't be with my boyfriend this year so we are posting gifts and cards to each other :) Looked in loads of shops till I found the perfect card.

    Last year it was a Monday and we couldn't be together so we celebrated at the weekend and he sent flowers to my work on the day.

    Its not that we don't make the effort throughout the year, just a nice day to be extra romantic. I like every holiday and love giving presents and writing cards. Any excuse :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,180 ✭✭✭tomissex


    We won't be together on the actual day as it's during the week but we were already going to a gig at the weekend so were gonna make a day of it. Food and (many) drinks in town :p and we've a hotel booked for after as they had a really good offer. No presents or anything cause I think it's silly and 7 years in I think we know we love each other :)

    I will treat myself to a nice take away and sit in watching films I like:)
    1st married valentines day so he can bring me out to dinner when he gets back!

    Going for dinner the weekend after with my boyfriend, can't wait.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,118 ✭✭✭Babybuff


    I have a plan..but I can't tell anyone because it's very very secret..

    but while brainstorming about what to do I stumbled upon a gap in the market and have spent the last few days pondering the possibility of taking advantage of it and turning it into a feasible little earner. (happy days, brain has project)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,208 ✭✭✭coco_lola


    It's a Tuesday, and as per usual, I'll be upstairs in Dicey's rockin it out as I do every week!


  • Posts: 11,928 [Deleted User]


    I'm gonna use it as an excuse to bake red velvet cupcakes for people. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,245 ✭✭✭psycho-hope


    ill be working, but the weekend before we are going to the bodies exhibiton in the amassador...soooo romantic:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 594 ✭✭✭chickenbutt


    Valentine's Day doesn't do anything for me.. I have plenty of dates with my boyfriend as it is, I don't see what else we could do to make it more special besides wearing red and eating more chocolate :pac: But considering it's long distance right now, we are both putting together little care packages for each other... Except I'm kind of lazy and I don't think it will get to him in time hehe whoops!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,568 ✭✭✭candy-gal1


    ideally id love to be back in the arms of the love of my life :(, yeah yeah slushy crap im sorry there, too many cocktails tonight bringing that stuff on :rolleyes: !

    will probably end up heading to see the vow or the muppets with my best mate, or the dirty dancing show, then food and a few, good few, drinkies! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20 pinkywoo

    No cards or anything but I think I'll get a couple of aged steaks.

    I've also told my husband that I will write him a story with any three things of his choosing worked into it.
