Kids and I were scamming tonight and we are having a Quiz and movie night on Valentines, and then sneaking about and leaving all the local business people anonymous valentines under their doors....

At the end of the day i saw the same boy head held high coming to talk to me to show me his cards ( he'd shown them girls lol ) as i bent over to look at them he whisperd thank you miss :oops: ( i told you i always get found out lol ) but when i looked at the cards i saw there were 4 you should have seen his face light up when i told him i'd only sent 3 of them :cheers: lol
Awww that's brought tears to my eyes - what a lovely thing to do.

You're right - it doesn't have to be commercialised does it!

You don't need a special day to be soppy, true! But I like Valentines day. We had ours early because I will be in Brisbane all next week. We stopped in at a little Thai place on the way home from the airport last night. :mrgreen:

Blimey - you lot are a bunch of romantics, aren't you! ( :pukeright: )

I don't celebrate Valentine's day, or Christmas, or birthdays or anything else for that matter. I just don't see the point of cards. :?

But for all of you who do celebrate it, I hope you all have a lovely day. :wink:
