Valentines day

rts · Sat 14 Feb, 2004 15.48

What are your plans for tonight? I celebrated my Valentines day earlier this week because my partner had an something urgent to do tonight. My parents are off out to a neighbours for a party, so I'm having some mates round to celebrate.

I personally think it's a bit pathetic valentines day. Shouldn't your love be shown every day to your loved one? But I suppose it's a good excuse to have a nice mushy day with lots of chocs

You're having mates around to celebrate Valentine's day? Nice. I suggest you get in a nice bottle of white, maybe a pizza and a copy of briget jones on DVD and sit round in your pyjamas telling ghost stories.

You big girl. Eat chocolate whenever the hell you like.

When was the last time any woman even bothered to lift a finger on Feb 14th? Maybe there ought to be two - one where your girlfriend can book a restaurant and blow a fortune on nothingy crap.

I suspect I'm sounding rather bitter - could be because I've been drinking it all morning.

Of course as it's a leap year it's acceptable for a woman to propose to a man. Why its a problem otherwise I don't know.

Well I do, but today I don't have to pay for mine.

I have to agree that Valetines day does have a huge 'man do everything for woman' aura about. It was refreshing last Tuesday before my partner sodded off she actually made considerable effort. Even though the ice cream with a candle was a little ott... lol.

I also got my annual mystery valetines card through the post who I still have no sodding idea comes from. Same style handwriting, same cheesy little comment, although I'd be lying if I said I didn't like it.

I'm just jealous - all I got was some bollocks from the littlewoods catelogue through the post this morning.

It scandelous really considering what a catch I am.

All I got was a letter from debt collectors this morning.

Tonight I plan to get completely pissed.

I didn't know Littlewoods did bollocks.

Well I got a Valentine's Day text message, but then I have not yet invited him back to my house, so he does not know where I live, despite the fact we have been dating for a month or so.

This situation I intend to maintain for as long as possible, thus depriving myself of any sexually-derived pleasure for the maximum length of time.

Excellent.

I can't be arsed with Valentines day this year.

Me, lol. Thought I'd sent you my new number?

I'm ignoring it -- maybe it'll just go away.

And what was with those one million people who apparently didn't leave their houses yesterday? Why do random dates make people decide to behave so strangely?

Valentines is no fun if you're single. I'm full of cheer tonight aint I?
