	Well my opinion is I show my love for OH all day every day so why do I need a so called special occasion. :-D

	Just a load of over-hyped, expensive, tacky, sickly, artificial c**p :-D. Years ago it used to be a card, then it was bouquets and chocs, then meals and teddies, now it's weekends away at a spa, or Paris or Mount Fuji. Bleughhhh!

	ME!! I will eat chocolates when I like. And.....it's a real pain trying to find a birthday card for someone between November and February as it's all Christmas cards, then Valentine's cards.

	Just for balance Because I don't. Never have. Will not be dictated to as to when I show love or give a gift to someone I love to keep the card companies and florists happy...I'll do it when I feel like it all year round...(when he deserves it) .cos I'm like that :-D anyone else?
