Those who were around this time last year might remember that Claire did valentine mugs. Now I can’t do anything as fancy as that, but I’d like to offer a similar service this year (oooh err missus!). So here’s how it works:
PM me with
1. your choice of the flower pics
2. who you want the flowers to go to
3. a (suitable) message for themI promise to never disclose who sent the message so your annonymity is guaranteed, those that know me from chat know that I always respect confidentiality and never gossip, and I will not put up any message that I think might be hurtful or offensive.
So, what are you waiting for? PM me, sooner rather than later so I can get it all done in time for Saturday!
And if you’re one of those bah humbug types, keep it to yourself, I don’t want to hear it! :-#
Pics as follows:
Single rose
Dozen roses
24 roses
101 roses!It has been suggested to me that some chatters won’t know me by my old name so won’t feel able to trust me!! Hmmmmph!!!
I’m a regular chatter in Forum 3, chatting as chirpy_chick or FatOldUglyBottleBlondeFemale (depending on my mood and whether or not the latter gets booted!) – of course if you don’t chat in F3 that won’t make the blindest bit of difference to you but hey ho…… :-

Hey Jen Jen. :)Yes peeps I can confirm that our Jen is perfectly “legit”, and she is indeed a Forum 3 reg. She isn,t a “clone” or person of dubious character, she,s just Jen Jen, aka chirpy chick. And this is coming from the only “Batty” member of staff JC has ever had to put up with. PB will vouch for that. :lol: :lol:

Woohoo, of course you can just call me Jen (flutters eyelashs and bursts out laughing, never could do coy and seductive!)
No takers yet, either there’s no love in JC right now or people are leaving it to the last minute……come on you people!
My inner cynic tells me that if you’re single then Valentine’s Day is an opportunity to lay the groundwork for a ‘relationship’ ….. if you’re married, you don’t need to.
That said, I shall be presenting the usual annual Valentine’s Day card to Mrs PB so as to avoid several months of silent recrimination.
She on the other hand will probably forget – on the basis that women only fart once you’ve married them.

FOUBBF is my alter-ego, she was born when people kept coming into chat as Handsome_Devil or SexyAlluringWoman – I just decided to be a tad more honest and take the mick out of myself at the same time (a touch of self-parody? never!). It’s always interesting to see which part of the name people use as an abbreviation…… :lol:
There was a time when I used to present the obligatory bunch of red roses to demonstrate my undying love; when I would entertain the object of my affections to a dinner in a ‘nice’ restuarant ….. but no more. With age comes knowledge – and I have learnt a lot over the years.
My usual inner cynic tells me that, as I am now married to her, I needn’t go to all this trouble to ‘win her over’. Fortunately she isn’t a ‘high maintenance’ wife.
But the real reason is far more prosaic. I am simply sick and tired of being ripped off.
Buy a modest bunch of roses during the rest of the year and they’ll cost you anywhere between £3.99 and say £10. Buy the same bunch of roses for Valentine’s Day and they’ll start at £20 and go up from there.
Restuarants are pretty much the same. The “special Valentine’s Day” menu – which differs little from the regular menu – will cost you considerably more that you’d pay at any other time of the year.
They rarely if ever increase the numbers of waiting staff to cope with a full house, so service standards are reduced to almost non-existent. The result is that you spend bloody hours over an indifferent meal in an over-crowded restuarant, served lukewarm by stressed out staff and end up paying over the odds for the privilege.
To add insult to injury, you spend your evening surrounded by spotty faced youths desperately trying to impress this week’s girlfriend, with little if any chance of success, being served by bad tempered staff and the ultimate indignity – being ripped off by the management.
As always, I shall prepare a superb supper for us both (and my little daughter), prepared just the way she likes it; washed down with a chilled bottle of her favourite wine; and we shall stroll next door to the sitting room with a cup of Espresso coffee and maybe a nightcap, and settle down for a pleasant peaceful evening uninterrupted by lovesick youths mooning over each other.
