if you get a book and a bar of chocolate every time why is THIS time so disappointing ? and some men are just shyte at the presents thing... because he knew how upset I was to have nothing at all at Christmas so I thought he would make an effort this time. He is a great husband in many ways, but yep.. I have to accept no good at romance or pressies

Thanks, Freckles, Happy Valentine's Day (or Friendship Day, if you go to a school where no PDAs are allowed, or you live in Finland ;) ) to one and all. We're not celebrating as husbad's in Saudi at the mo and I shouldn't think he'll have bothered to arrange a delivery of flowers to me (nor have I to him, I hasten to add!). I was in the little Choithrams at Springs this morning and 2 of the 3 people in the queue in front of me were men purchasing roses, flowers and chocolates :) Hmmmm...

Sorry to hear of your disappointment sandgirl. I was happy with mine - tablet from The Toffee Princess and a necklace from House of Colour - you guessed it, he did all his shopping at the ARTE souk on Friday, but I'm just happy that he got me stuff I like. Hope you have a good day.
