DH and I usually go out somewhere nice to eat, but not on Valentine's day, because everyone else is doing it that day. We will go this weekend. I usually make his card.

Perhaps sometime soon I will buy myself a bouquet of flowers. I think I will do it at the beginning of next week, though, so I can enjoy it at my desk all week.

: we don't celebrate valentines at our
: house. Don't be sad we do say
: oh Im glad you're my valentine!
: but Im told it is a commercial
: venture, and we do the gesture
: every day thing instead - being
: brought a cuppa, preparing
: favourite foods, organising treats
: , thoughtfulness etc

: Anyway I have read somewhere about
: valentines should be a
: demonstration of love to oneself.
: Your relationship with you. I have
: had problems getting my head
: around this notion. But then I
: read about how its really self
: care. Its the self care that
: demonstrates self love. That
: making the effort for yourself,
: instead of everyone else

: ok then ! there will be a walk in the
: crisp sunshine. An outing to the
: library because they have a book I
: want to pick up.... a bit of a
: read with a decaf to hand..... to
: the shop to get fresh stuff for
: Thai fish curry...….. that's all
: my self-valentine , its all about
: me but my DHValentine can join in
:

: hope your day turns out nice with
: treats for your self
