It's that time of year again folks.
Just when you thought you were bankrupted by Christmas, this ol' chestnut comes along slap-bang in the middle of February (next Thursday, in fact...)
So what's the most romantic gesture you have ever made and do you have any plans for this Valentines Day?
I'm still thinking of shoestring ideas for my Mrs. I would love to get engaged but I can't afford a sodding ring just yet. I had an idea of getting a jewellery box and just leaving an IOU note inside, but part of me thinks that might just be cruel!
Disclaimer: The above is not to be taken to heart and is probably a joke, grow up you big girl.

Nothing this year. We are going on holiday in a few weeks so that's enough of a valentines present for her!

I don't buy into the whole 'have to spend shit loads of money on you to prove how much I love you' stuff, but we make sure we get each other a card because then you have a memory. We'll go for a meal (not on the actual day though, too expensive!) and spend time together
Also, you could still propose with something like a toy ring. It's the proposal that counts, not the ring!

Kim is right. Dum dum did it with a ring he made out of twin and earth lol. That way, you can both go shopping for a ring she will like and fits!

I think valentines day is a crock of...
Dont need one day of the year to sit elbow to elbow at restaurants, paying double the prices to show someone how you feel. You should be showing that every day of the year.
Only way shes getting a sniff of anything is if she is willing to partake in steak and blowjob day (should be mandatory on Sundays anyway TBH)

You did something similar our first Valentine's Day together though  I just think it's a good excuse to forget everyone else and spend some quality time together.
Warning Grant- you can piss off that day, he's mine
