Will she forgive me?

[hopper]

Ok so today is 11th February, only 3 days to go until Valentines Day and my problem is as it says on the advert, "Do I make overblown romantic jestures "like buying Mrs Hopper some flowers and sending her a card or do I just save the money, buy her a bar of chocolate and blow the rest on some shinny new dive gear?

If anyone has any other suggestions on how to impress Mrs Hopper and still save money for some shinny new dive gear I am more than willing to listen.

Yours

you have to do the flowers mate, think of it as an investment, if you don't she won't let you dive.....ever

I suppose me picking my own (out of the local park) is out of the question!

nah, it's all down to the presentation, nick a pint glass, stick em in it and then tell her how its so much more personal than just going on line

Well, my other half bought me a mouse for valentines day one year.

I called him Monty and when he died a couple of years later he was the size and weight of a potato. His cage was in the hall and he could do the "im a poor starving rodent" look very well. I think most of him was made up of digestive biscuit.

ok from a bird !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go for the bar of chocolate, splash out on a punnet of strawberry.........

when mrs hopper arrives home, have a hot bath run, add some of her smellies to it, light some candles in the bathroom, lead her upstair with a glass of wine, tell her to get in and relax...................................

whilst mrs hopper is soaking away smash the chocolate and place in a microwave bowl, nuke it at about 40%, take it out and stir frequently, add a liitle milk or cream to make it more fluid but keep checking it so it doesnt go biscuity. Once melted grab the strawberry's, make your way to the bathroom, dip them in the chocolate and feed mrs hopper.

Cost of chocolate £1.50 max, strawberries £1.50, money saved and brownie points earned........................priceless!!!!!!!!!!!

works on me everytime

(when my better half bought his YBOD it was introduced to me as my new kitchen)
