Default Valentines day Ideas

I am running out of time and need to think of a good place to take her.

My inital thoughts are to a nice restuarant in london was thinking of one of Gordan Ramsey's

Tower Bridge in the evening for a champagne view of the thames

A spa in london where we could both relax.

Any idea lads of a good spa or a top restuarant i could take her to.

Thanks.

Cook her a pot noodle and settle down to a night in front of the TV switching between Road Wars and Cops with Cameras. That should be good enough if she truely loves you!

I did the weekend break thing 2 years ago.
Ordered a chinese, lit some candles, opened the wine then got the calandar out and asked what she was doing during 1st week in March...
I slowly started writing the plans on the calendar. She didn't believe me then I handed over the tickets - Florence for 4 days - she loved it!

From an email on a public "review a restaurant" site:

" For those of you not au fait with the Oxo Tower, it's a south-of-the-river landmark with a restaurant on top. If you haven't yet savoured its hidden delights, here are a few more reviews to whet your appetite:

>>>>> I took my friend Eleanor up the Oxo Tower last week and I must say it was lovely. In fact,she has recommended it to all her other friends. I’ll be taking my other girlfriend Kerrie up there too. It was a truly brilliant experience.

>>>>>>My Husband has always nagged me to try it up at the Oxo Tower but, to be honest I am too tight and thought I wouldn't enjoy it very much. Well he finally convinced me to splash out and go. What an experience! The place was fantastic, the service was smooth and I had a fabulous time. I am so glad I let him take me up the Oxo Tower we would certainly be doing it again with some friends I hope.

>>>>>I have tried to talk to my girlfriend into letting me take her up the Oxo Tower for the last few years now, but for some reason she just did not let me. So, as I couldn’t wait any longer I took my friend Gordon up the Oxo Tower and it was a wonderful experience that has changed us forever."

The website owner didn't really realise what was happening...

What about one of those multitude of "Love" compilation CD's that are being advertised every twenty seconds on the TV?

Cheaper than Ramseys restaurant and you could get your money's worth by romantically pumping her up the poop shoot to the gentle rhythms.

What decent lady wouldn't be delighted with that?

Cardiff to see Wales v England for the rugby and other half is paying. As it starts at 17.30 that means not having to dress up for a romantic meal afterwards that I would have to shell out for. Result.

Best piece of advice yet.

Last one I was with, I couldnt be bothered to go to the bank to get some money out to buy her a card. So I knocked something up at work - believe it or not it got more brownie points than a £4 sad **** love one from clintons.

This year I am taking one of her friends out for a drink instead. No card, just beer.
