Useless bloke's guide to Valentines Day

[TheFaQQer]

There are some good Funwall posts on Facebook for Valentine's Day.

That's what I got MrsF.

(Well, I sent her two, to show I'm not that cheap!)

Me, yes, me - I'm the useless bloke - and I'd appreciate any ideas (for someone trying to save cash frantically) as to what on earth to surprise the nearly-mrs-RH with on Thursday. I haven't got a clue (more than usual).

TIA

The things you do for a fook eh?

RH, you're a bit tasty with the paintbrush as I recall. How about a piece of artwork and/or a heartfelt message/poem? Something that takes time and effort to create, and comes from the heart says infinitely more that a mass produced shop-bought trinket.

[TheFaQQer]

Agreed - something handmade gets more kudos.

Even if you're not handy with a paintbrush (for the other useless blokes out there), girlies love that kind of thing. Any idiot can go out and spend money, this takes time and devotion.

Erk - somewhat tight timescales there. Good suggestion, question is, what to paint/draw. I suppose I could combine a few of the above - cook a really nice meal, ask her to model for a painting, or something like that. The painting may not get finished though.

She hates all the commercial rubbish surrounding Valentines Day, so something different like that might be nice.

I might get Mrs BA a new bag and belt










Then the vac will work a treat

Funniest post I've read in a long time! Excellent!

You should get out more!

FFS, man! How long does it take to draw a heart, colour it in, and write "I love you" in fancy writing?????

Face it, you've missed your chance to buy anything decent by now. Get down to the bargain card shop, buy her something nice for nothing more than 60p.

Get down to knickerbox and some edible boxers for you - stick 'em on and suggest "get your laughing gear round this one, love" on Thursday night.

I guarantee that you will not be worrying about Valentines for a while!

But you might be worrying about how long it will be before your multiple fractures heal.

Cheers FaQQer! Now I have Chicken noodle cup-a-soup on my keyboard.
