The boy is such a romantic, even after ....(I'm thinking...)...12 years together.
Last night he brought home a dozen long-stemmed pinky-orange roses (though one promptly beheaded itself while I was trying to get them into the vase), and a mystery present which he put in the fridge.
So I realised I had very little time to get him something back (eeek!)
Then, the universe helped me out. When I got to my lunchtime hair appointment, I was told (very apologetically) that my stylist was running 15 minutes late. Would that be a problem?
You bet it would! Well not really, except that I'd be late back to work. But I seized the opportunity to re-book for tomorrow afternoon instead - which meant that my lunch break was now free for present and card shopping.
So I got the boy a card that has a picture of a Star Wars storm trooper on the front and the words "Super Trooper". And for a present I got him a Hello Kitty Frankenstein - that's a Hello Kitty doll which is puce green and has bolts on the sides of her head. Super-cute in a geeky sort of way. Which he loved.
Love and kisses everyone.
p.s. the present in the fridge turned out to be a box of individually chosen designer chocs.

Sounds nice. Ray sent me a text while he was at work saying " whoops forgot it was valentines day!". Next thing a man was climbing the steps with a bunch of flowers.... For my neighbour! In his defence Ray came home and said it was the worst day at work that he has ever had.
I have to say that I think Valentines Day is a big commercial con - but then you can't ignore it unless you both agree to it or there could be big trouble!
