Valentine = Rip Off

A warning for all people out there who are looking for a new love: do NOT under and circumstance, start a enw relationship on Valentine's Day!! You will regret it for the rest of your life.
J. and I started our relationship on Valentine's Day 2 years ago as we thought that was romantic. Today I am paying for it. Or rather, she is as she did not get any presents of flowers. £40 for a bunch of roses is just a rip-off and I am not prepared to pay that simply becasue it is Valentine's Day. Next week they will be £15 again, she can get them then!! Maybe we need to discuss shifting the date to the first time we met, rather than when we started to go out. Surely the flowers will be cheaper in January.......

But of course I did give her a little present to celebrate two years together. May there be many more to come.
