Valentines schmalentines! Its fake, corny & commercialised. However, I do like picking up stuff for the house just after valentines day - I've treated myself to some gorgeously girly mugs and heart shaped bowls over the years in the sales so I kinda like to look around the shops!

I guess its whatever you want it to be. It's not upset me since school & peer pressure when the only year I did get a card was from my brother who felt sorry for me! Even now, as am finally in a relationship, we tend to ignore it. I'd rather get a card saying he was thinking of me on any other day than valentines day, or even a bunch of supermarket flowers. Least then its because he's thought of it, and not when some team of marketing folk decided that he should pay $100 for a $15 bunch of flowers on Feb 14th. In fact, I would be cross if he did spend that money!

Please don't let it upset you. It really is just rubbish! Spoil yourself and show yourself some love instead, and do something you really like to do.
