Default valentine's day flowers.....

it's that time of yr again where we empty our pockets of a good 40 quid jus to please the other half first thing in the morning with a fresh bouquet of mega expensive over priced roses!!!

how about a few links to see who's buying what from where and prices.

i'll kick it off..... www.marksandspencers.com for roses for the old dear. £20 inc delivery......

Or from Morrissons, even cheaper than Tesco as I understand it.

Aren't Roses a bit "chav" though?

I'll see your M&S and raise you to £59.99 for the Interflora dozen.

Neither of which she is getting, so by my reckoning I just saved 60 quid Right , off to order some droplinks

Seeing as they pump the prices up before valentines....

Save the money, tell her I love her, give her the card I have bought for her and then spend the same amount of money on twice as many flowers for her in a couple of weeks. oh, and maybe a little something from here

White and Purple tulips are a big winner

As a matter of interest, why are you getting them delivered to her place of work?? Surely you'll want to give them to her on Valentine's Day morning? Unless of course you both happen to live miles apart from each other, why not give them to her personally? Otherwise all you're doing is tapping keys and clicking buttons for your dearest love. How romantic...

Never understood why people send flowers to their girlfriend's offices...

My girlfriends roses will be delivered by me to her house first thing monday morning

Need to have roses delivered to another 'close friend' as we work at rival firms and its a bit awkward delivering them to her house if you know what I mean....

Put off by idea of her getting them in the post.....interflora it is then.

Its gonna be an expensive day for me.

cheers for info

i dont believe in giving flowers have done in the past

a waste of good money, flowers die mate

i rather give them a card and a nice gift they can keep and use like perfumes chocolates etc

or cook for them for the night or treat them to a nice dinner



and also i dedicate this day to all the woman i loved in my life, see i believe in marriage and purity

me being a muslim i loved alot of woman and cared for them in a respectful and kind way. i could never tell them i loved them but i did used to care for them, i wish i could have married them all, it was my one sided luv


God willing if i ever get to heaven i wish i get them all in heaven as my wives

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
You have ruined my life, you ugly fat slapper…
…but you cook a good meal,
That's why I'm still with you.
