Do you feel pressured to spend lots of money? Do you resent paying double for a meal out on Valentine's night? What about the cost of flowers - £39.95 on Interflora for a dozen red hand-tied roses. Or is it a chance to show your loved one just how much you care and don't spare the cash?
Let us know here what you think about Valentine's Day.
Valentine's, Mothers, Father's and all the other invented so called Day's were all concocted for one reason only and yes you've guessed it, it was Commercialism you should'nt need a special day too say "well done" "i love you" ect just do it any day or by the way the 15th of February ( now you can't forget that day, it's the day after Valentine's) is Tigerwuds Day can you please all send me a pound
Although it's a con, hubby and I both feel obliged to do something - usually just a card and a cheap practical present (eg CD or book). It's my birthday a couple of week's after Valentine's so I'd much rather he spent money on that.
Everything is a commercial rip-off nowadays, I mean jeez, you can even get a card for any occasion saying its off the family pet! And my girlfriend saw a Valentines card today that for your, get this - Mother?? What the heck is going on, beggars belief.
I'll get her a card and flowers as usual but treat ourselves at the weekend to a proper Spa massage, not the cheapest but we both deserve it.
