"You know it's a scam by shops who just want you to spend money" himself exclaimed last night after I reminded him again that it was Valentine's Day on Thursday.
"I know it is..." I replied dejectedly.
But that's not the point is it? We know that Tescos ads selling cheap pink bubbly, Thorntons ads selling heart-shaped truffles and Interflora ads selling stupidly overpriced flowers are all the spin created from such commercialism, but that's not the point.
The point is, us girls want to know that those boys care. We want to be showered with gifts (ok, maybe not showered - I had that once and it turned me right off "ugh! That's way too soppy, get off me!").
We just want evidence that our nearest and dearest can break from his macho-self for just one day and be a bit lovely.
Now, don't get me wrong - I don't wish to sit in an over-packed restaurant on Thursday night, full of couples-who-don't-get-on-but still-go-out-once-a-year, but a little gesture would be lovely.
Wonder how many blo**dy bouquets will be delivered to the office tomorrow... do I have to be present when the shreaking starts? Good grief.
