Shower him with love and affection! I don't as much as I should. I'm going to. He's never going to see it coming and will be so surprised he'll go check the paintwork on the car for scratches.



When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a rose with the other.

Make a nice candlelight dinner and get someone to take the kids for an evening. Splash out on steak. They don't need to be big and you can fill out the plate with veg and bread rolls on the side too. The main thing is getting some quiet time together. Don't forget the card! Dollar General has them from 50 cents.

LOL! If I caught him doing that there would be no love and affection from this gal.

I missed that completely! Funny! :)
bringmeroses, I know exactly where you're coming from. My husband says I'm only really nice to him when I have something very very good to tell him, or very very bad LOL.

See, that's why I'm never nice to mine Jewel. He has no need to have a suspicious mind then. ;)

I think that's what you call twisted logic LOL. If the weather's nice a picnic in the park can be romantic. And if it's not, have it in the living room. :)

Re: My Frugal Valentine, sweet frugal valentine ...

We just exchanged cards and that was all. We decided it's silly to spend money on stuffed toys and chocolates when we could do something more romantic like get an oil change LOL. :)
