ZiderEyed Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Me and my girlfriend utterly refuse to be baited in to funding a vicious capitalist circle. Reprehensible, further facilitates the idea in society that money is a prerequisite for making you or someone else happy. Can stick it right up your arse for all I care.

Septic Peg Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Well, myself and Mr Peg don't bother for 2 reasons. 1) Our wedding anniversary is 9 days after Valentine's. So we swap pretentious cards and shite then. 2) I produced the world's greatest Valentine's Day gift that could never be eclipsed. I gave birth to our baby Peg. So the 14th in our house is devoted to birthday cake and E numbers instead of roses and copious amounts of chocolate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Whilst I do think it’s nonsense, I’ve often wondered why people are so bitter about Valentine’s Day but you don’t get much of the same hatred for Easter, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Christmas or any other man made/fictional celebratory days. I mean you could make the exact same argument that you shouldn’t need an enforced ‘day’ to be thankful for your parents but you never see this on Mother’s/Father’s Day.

There were definitely a few of us that expressed our feelings towards Christmas on here back in December! Me personally, I don’t expect gifts for anything & if anyone asks what I want for birthdays / Christmas then they get told nothing but I’ll still buy for those close to me. I guess I only like giving, not receiving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dollymarie Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Me and @Arthur Daley had the day off today together. Went for a 4 mile walk round Chew Valley and then had a pub lunch and tea together this evening. Tomorrow we’ll swap cards and then we’ve got tea together with our respective kids.

I remember being taken as a very small child on Christmas Eve to get my mum her present from my Dad. Went into a big department store in town, spent all of 5 minutes choosing (think the store was about to close). Can’t remember how delighted or not my Mum was with her present the next morning, but she used that bright yellow IRON for years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
