So Valentine’s Day will soon be upon us. So who celebrates it? Any special plans in place? Certain gifts you buy the special person in your life? Best or maybe worst Valentines story??

Celebrate it with a card and something small. We don’t go over board.

Me and a friend usually always go out for dinner as her partner is working almost every year.
Meal for one and a vibrator will be filling my evening

We just usually go out for a nice quiet meal without the kids. Or for a dirty weekend away if we can get away with it!
This year I don’t think we’ll be able to do much, haven’t made any plans yet

It’s a Sunday too this year so not sure what I might be doing, unless we do something on the Saturday
Why go out when you have that police uniform. That would be a lot more interesting @Cupc8kes

Never really celebrate it, usually gets to the 12th/13th and we realise it’s Valentine’s soon 
sometimes we’ll cook a nice meal but ordinarily he is at work (always seems to have a shift on V-day!) and as it’s usually half term I am home with the children.
We bake heart-shaped cookies or something together to share with Daddy.
My mum ordinarily buys me some chocolate and a chic-flick! I love that

@steve19 you’re right there!
Hubby would deffo rather stay at home if the police officer were to pay a visit.
I wonder what she might be knocking the door for this time…

We don’t really celebrate it. Although I feel this year I may use it as an excuse to ask Mr S to buy me even more lingerie (as if I need to ask 
)

I’m with @steve19 . I think you’ll have your OH "banged " to rightswith that outfit.
We usually have a night away , so we might need to settle for an empty if we can get place to ourselves.
Iv never celebrated Valentine’s Day all my partners at the time have always said it’s just a normal day whatever 
but just once I would have liked to go for a meal or something cute however my worst Valentine’s Day has to be when I was 17 I was dating a man who was 23 he lived in a shared house I got the bus from mine to his and they told me he was down at the pub (20 minute walk) I thought ok il just walk down and get him… so I walk down and am calling him on his mobile but he wouldn’t answer I get to the pub and they won’t let me in I’m crying and saying I don’t want a drink by bf was in there and I needed to get him… they let me in but I soon realised he wasn’t in there so I walk out and start walking back to his place and all the sudden it starts raining so I cry even more because I haven’t got a coat on… I get to his house and he’s home he said he went to his mates instead… I bought him a few bits and he didn’t even get me a card 
(found out after we split he was actually with his ex that night)

hope that cheers you upI haven’t had a partner for valentines day in many years, but I usually use it as an excuse to buy myself some fancy lingerie, get myself some gorgeous flowers and enjoy some good self-love time.
I know it’s very much a commercialised day, but I’m also very much here for a little reminder that love is all around - whether that’s from a partner, friends, family, or self.

We usually don’t do anything, just another day, occasionally I’ll surprise Mrs Sen with some flowers, but thats about it. They get stupidly expensive to send, and a few times when I’ve tried to organise something, its been screwed up by the florist.
We’ve just updated a whole heap of her lingerie so all good there. Unless we can happen to organise the teenage vultures to be out, limited opportunity for bedroom fun too.
We hate the commercialisation of Valentine’s Day and refuse to buy into it. We will get gifts for each other randomly, some sexy, some ‘nice’ some romantic some fun and silly, but hate how some businesses cash in on it and inflate prices… set menus at restaurants at silly prices, flower prices through the roof, etc! I will not let companies cash in on my love for my partner. I have always hated that and was delighted when on our first Valentines together she raised the subject and explained she felt how I did before I even mentioned the subject!! Phew!!
Just for the record, since the start of the original lockdown I have done the food shopping every Sunday on my own so a) it is less risk and following guidelines and b) let her have a long lie as she is on the front line and works silly hours and under silly stress, so I think she deserves flowers every week and that is what she gets!! Dozen roses, different colour each week! So romance is not dead and v proud of the work she does, but refuse to buy into the rip off that usually is Valentines!! 
Romance and thoughtfulness should be everyday and not one day a year when people cash in on us lovers in the world. By all means enjoy it if it is your thing but it isn’t for us.
It is also makes singletons feel left out and that is not right in a works of inclusivity!
