Happy Tuesday! I no i no its valentines day, but i hate it. I don't no if its my age or what but this year i just think 'whats the point'. I'm fully aware that i properly sound bitter and old, but i hate forced fun and forced emotion, its like we have to receive flowers and chocolates that cost ridiculous prices, because its valentines day, to know that were loved?
This morning my facebook feeds been full of 'look what my lovely bf/hubby/fiance had brought me' they seem to think we forget the amount of times they have changed there relationship status over the year and now everything perfect because you received 12 roses? Am i bitter because i didn't get anything you may ask, nope, we have done it all before, in the past 7 valentines days we have spent together, Ive had the works, flowers, chocolate's, jewellery, huge cards and Teddy's. But this year i demanded i didn't want a card or silly pressie (to be honest we don't have room for another teddy or huge card with Harry's stuff)
We did how ever go out shopping this morning (very difficult with a pushchair and a man on crutches i must say) and hubby brought me a pair of shoes, I'm all for the practical pressies, so what did i buy him??
Yep i brought him the cast cover, so he can bath to his hearts content.
I demanded he modelled it so i could to post it to facebook, and show everyone how romantic i am.
Harry got these biscuits from my sister (shes a baker in her spare time)
Roll on next Tuesday, now that's a real celebration, PANCAKE DAY mmm cant wait
What have you had for valentines day?
Love Lucy x
Totally agree with you hun! Valentines day is all great when your a new (ish) couple but add a few years and a toddler in the mix and I'm just happy that it's an excuse to get a lay in as my pressie! Ha! In seriousness we do exchange cards but I don't get anything for my bf (although he got me a picture of us which was sweet) and we got the m&s meal deal for dinner with a good dvd (jaws style!). To be honest I prefer my bf to take over the majority of the parenting duties and a nice dinner to a dozen roses and jewellery...it's much more beneficial! xx
ReplyDeleteyay so glad there is someone who agrees with me. how thoughtful with the photo idea :) hope your enjoying your dvd and meal, im all about watching my big fat gypsy wedding and scarying hubby by telling him thats exactly how i would want mine lol x
