We who are older and wiser don't feel the need for a special holiday to put candles on the table, we can do it whenever the mood strikes us. At least, that's the excuse I'm going with. ;-)Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748538761711892080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-8552517298120624372015-02-15T17:27:20.451+11:002015-02-15T17:27:20.451+11:00Oh, now, I'm feeling like the least romantic p...Oh, now, I'm feeling like the least romantic person ever! Michelle, we're pretty laid-back about Valentine's Day though we do usually exchange cards. Ducking for cover, though, as I admit that this year we didn't realise it was V Day until we heard an advertisement on the radio as we ate breakfast! LOL<br /><br />Maybe I'll surprise dh with candles on the table for dinner tonight!Sharon Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06836969154744451542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-23171627120110387182015-02-13T08:41:40.197+11:002015-02-13T08:41:40.197+11:00Aww...I love that you and your hubby do the romanc...Aww...I love that you and your hubby do the romance-thing on V-Day, Jen.

I usually send something to hubby's office and we go out for a cliched candle lit dinner. <br /><br />But V Day has taken on an interest twists with one of my little ones having an enormous crush on a kid at school. So, it was off to buy cliched chocolates for said crush.

I figure as long as we're sweet to our best beloveds all year long that's what counts. Mind you...after that Uni run, maybe the two of you could settle down with a glass of something cold and bubbly? Just a thought. ;-)Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748538761711892080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-86011228680985089822015-02-12T15:00:32.605+11:002015-02-12T15:00:32.605+11:00We're kind of business as usual here, but we d...We're kind of business as usual here, but we do give each other surprises throughout the year.

This year we are taking our son to uni on the 'big' day...no romance for us. Tbh we don't usually celebrate it but for a card each. I'd like to think that we do other small romantic things throughout the year...but we probably don't! Too much life getting in the way!
