"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.

should the clocks go back?
Personally I was delighted this morning to wake to daylight - in my book, there's nothing worse than waking up in the dark, aka dead of the night.
But apparently there's big debate on whether we should turn the clocks back or simply keep the time as it, all year. I guess there's the question of safety for people walking home from school and work in the dark to consider, so maybe if I didn't have the comfort of my car, I'd have a different opinion on the dark afternoons.
Am totally delighted that it's finally cold though - I simply love this time of year, when we can wrap up warm in boots and tights and cuddly jumpers.
I bought a fabulous cape from (can you believe it) Tesco last week - it was only £15.00 and is lovely! It's not been off my back since. The button fell straight off so I've fastened it with a vintage brooch - fabulous, love it.
Not sure Himself gets it... he says I look like Bat Man. Bless him.
Have a great day Busy Girl - get your boots and tights on and wrap up warm and keep safe in the dark tonight!
