Make your partner happy

[DiscoMick]

It's Valentine's Day, so you know what to do if you believe the old saying: Happy Wife equals Happy Life.
Personally, I've done it and I'm in the good books!:cool:

[brenno]

Oh I intend to :twisted:

But if I fail to, at least I'll have had a good time :p

[Mr.Bear]

I'm taking mine to hopefully a Romantic French Bistro tonight, and maybe earn a few brownie points for that..........

[richard4u2]

would shifting all the old landys off of the front lawn so she could mow it, would that do it , happy wife happy life

[Dave_S]

I was thinking of buying her a '65 Volvo P1800. Not sure she'd appreciate it though :D

[Homestar]

Not going to bother with the restaurant thing - too many couples packed in like sardines trying to have a romantic time....

I had flowers and choclates on SWMBO bedside when she woke up at 5.45 - I was halfway out the door to work.

Tonight I'll cook up a slap up feast and wash it down with a good bottle of red. That should be enough to keep me in the good books for a few days.:D

[BigJon]

I am going to do the same as I have done for the 10 years that we have been together. Nothing at all. I am not a sucker for the commercial bull**** that is Valentines Day.

[Disco Muppet]

I'm cooking Nachos, and I am going to at least try and not tell her that her dad is wrong for the night.
But that's the same as any night :D

Mine would.:cool:

Cheers, Mick.

[VladTepes]

There ya go Dave you can buy a Volvo for Killers wife.....

Putting grated cheese on some corn chips and melting it in the oven is not cooking....

Do you make your own quacamole at least?

Delicious, maybe, but hardly cooking.:D

Dude.....
Gotta have the tomato and the mince too.....
And of course I'm making my own quacamole, to buy the tube variety would be cheating! :p

[Mr.Bear]

Wow, does it come in a tube now? I have to go shopping more often :)

[Homestar]

Mmm. Sounds good.:)

[Disco Muppet]

Yeah it comes in a tube, should be in the salad section of woolies.
Didn't even consider it :D

Yep, same here.
Married over 30 years & never done V Day.
When first going out together I mentioned to my now wife that the only time a bloke buys flowers is when he's feeling guilty about something so I've never done that either or I'd be dead meat:D

I agree with you, if you love someone you should show it all the time, not feel forced to splash out once a year

However I heard one bloke call into the ABC today, he proposed to his wife 30 years ago today, she passed away a few years ago and he reckoned he would love to have her around to have bought her flowers today,

My wife left us and now works/ lives in Canberra. I know I would give anything to have her around today to spoil.
Instead I'm off to drop daughter at airport so she can enjoy Valentines day with mum.

To all of you who do have someone to be with tonight, enjoy it. Its much worse if that someone's not around

[George130]

I did the valentines thing once a few years ago. Got the question what have you done?:D
Otherwise we don't celebrate hallmark

[weeds]

Geez, Come on guys........

So you don't do Easter, XMAS, birthdays, father/mothers days, Halloween, New Year's Eve, hump day..........

I don't particularly like going out on valentines day....we have the kids this year, I'm sure we will celebrate somehow whe they go to bed

[bob10]

As far as I am concerned, if you are serious , & in love, every day should be Valentines day. Bob [ works for me ]

[joel0407]

Yep. Nothing done here. It's pointless if it's expected.

Worth 10 times when it's a proper surprise for no particular reason.

Happy Days

[flagg]

I wondered why there were so many couples at the pub :wasntme: ..and why people looked at me and laughed when I said I was taking a long lunch to go shopping in Fyshwick! :eek: (I was picking up a new OZTENT and grease-gun :D)

I've never celebrated Xmas because I'm not sure when that's celebrated but I do know that Christmas is the 25th of December & as for Halloween that's just a relatively new thing in Oz too. Never heard of it when I was a kid.
Cracker night....YES.

Halloween is my son's birthday. It is nice to see everyone now feels the need to celebrate with him.

[digger]

Well ,inspired by this thread I decided to go all out...


I got my wifes favourite flower and headed into the bank where she works in our small town.

I lined up at her window like everyone else (there were 3 others working but I needed to be in this queue obviously) and it was the busiest time of the day.

I was nervous but eventually made it to the front of the line...

With a flourish as everyone seemed to be watching I gave her the flower ...... and she blew her top!:eek:

She called me names!! :o

and then she chased me out of the bank.....:mad:

She hasnt talked to me since...

I cant work it out,
I was all showered and dressed up,
I was all polite and nice
I waited patiently for my turn at the window...

I know its her favourite flower as she always buys "self raising"

I just cant work out where it all went wrong.... maybe I shouldve got LION Brand..

[scarry]

Took her fishing today and she loved it,although I caught the biggest bream and a large cod:D.

I don't do Easter, I begrudgingly am involved in Christmas, she might get something for Mother's Day, Halloween: what's that? New Years Eve means nothing to me (was in bed by 10pm for the last one). Hump Day?

"Bah! Humbug!", said Ebenezer :wasntme:

[DiscoMick]

Got a red rose, hid it overnight, sneaked up on her in the morning and gave it to her with a kiss. She was very happy. Then she told our Chinese visitor I never do Valentines Day!

I never got Dinner made for me :(
































































Might have something to do with me going off roading on a night drive and stayed out camping while Ian was at home :D

[Homestar]

Yeah, well you can't blame Ian for that one...:D
