As you know it’s Valentine’s day shortly and I want to write about Blokey, almost to him.
StressFreePrint wanted bloggers to write open letters to loved ones, so here goes.
The poor guy gets a hard time living with me. At times I am extremely annoying to live with, I know I am, I hear myself being horrid and cringe. But it’s too late; the nasty words are already said.
I love him because he can calm me down and helps me when I panic. He cooks for me from scratch, he even bakes cakes. He is organised and sensible, where I am ditzy and impulsive. He helps with the lads a lot, for many years he was the main parent and did every school run. He carries heavy things for me. He holds doors open for strangers (and me). He always does the ironing. He does most of the driving. He loads the dishwasher if I forget. He sends me reminders for things like “please get xyz out of the freezer” because he knows I rarely look at the meal plan. Oh yes, he writes a meal plan and does the shopping around it.
He watches girly chick flick tv with me. He’ll even makes popcorn sometimes to go with it. He notices when I am cold before I mention it, and makes a cuppa. Most mornings there is a cup out for me, with a spoon and a little bit of milk and a warm kettle. He doesn’t moan about my height, instead he secretly shops online and I get random gifts like tights from Russia or Poland – they seem to cater for the tallest ladies over there.
Dear Blokey,
I love you. I think I always will. Even when you are annoying me I love you. I love that we became three, then four, and that you and I both agreed that is enough. Oh and to ignore your snoring it must be love.From Me.

Not at the moment…..Maybe a nice romantic meal (if the kids let us. lol)
Aww he sounds like a fabulous man and very much like mine….he has had to look after me for the past few years because of my ill health….I love him forever no matter what because he is my rock 🙂 ❤️
Our plans for valentines are normally a hand made card with a little poem or note, and a small gesture like my fave bar of choc or a scented candle….no big romantic gestures but we say I love you every day at least once 🙂
I will be spending the day with my four little ones! We plan to bake heart shaped shortbread!
My husband works nights, so I’ll be at home with my two boys on Valentine’s night. We’ll do something as a family during the day, though. Like going to the supermarket, or a trip to Pizza Hut…and they say romance is dead!
No plans, it’s just another day & I’m divorced now anyway, no man here, except my daughters boyfriend.
probably a night in with a nice meal
No plans for Valentines but on the 15th we are flying out to spain as my son gets married there on the 17th so I think thats a good excuse to give it a miss.
Valentines passes me by, I may treat myself to some extra chocolate though, no wait I do that most days any way 🙂
Angela
Chocolate cake instead then!
I don’t have any yet, hoping to sort something out though
I don’t no babysitter unfortunately 🙁
Same as us. It’s a bugger really.
Sadly im single so trying to avoid it. X
skyping my boyfriend
No plans 🙂 we just send each other a card x
Remembering my mum who recently passed, so doing a few little things that she d have liked 🙂
Our only plans are to enjoy a lovely day together at home & maybe watch a good film in the evening.
A meal out with my husband!
A Quiet night in with a box of chocolates
A dinner & a glass of bubbly will do us, non alcoholic of course for the bump!!
Just an evening in with dinner and a movie.. it gets too busy in town x
home cooked meal, bottle of wine
I am working valentines day evening so we might go out for a meal and cinema on the friday.
probably get a takeaway when the kids are in bed
Plans for a nice meal in and a dvd, it could be horror more than romance, the dvd, not the dinner hopefully!
As we have the kids will be having a nice indian takeaway and watch a film after
I was hoping to take my partner out for a meal but illness to me may have put an end to that idea. I am now ordering presents online to make up for it and plan to do the meal another time.
No plans made but I am sure we will arrange something 🙂 x
We’ll be having a lovely meal and wine at home.
We haven’t made any specific plans for Valentine’s Day. We’re debating taking our 2 year old to see the Peppa Pig movie. It would be her first time in a movie theater.
I do not have any plans
Just a quiet one with hubby – nothing planned
Me and my lovely fella are off to the cinema upgraded to gold class to watch Fifty shades of grey, then for a lovely meal – perfect!
I would love some flowers, although I think I would keep them for myself. I think this valentines day I am going to be a little selfish and lots of tlc for me. Especially as I have realised my ex is taking his new girlfriend away on our holiday for Valentines day.
Wowzers, I remember being single and hating Valentine’s hype. The day itself I’d treat like any other except for treating myself to chocolate and “me time” just like you.
Try to have a good day despite what he’s doing.
the hubby is taking me out, but it’s a surprise!! 😀
Nope. No one loves me.
Sadly not, I’m single 🙁
Yes – a special meal as it’s also our engagement anniversary!
Before I go to work, I’ll leave a dozen red roses, chocolates & a card for Bev to find when she wakes up. Then, in the evening, I’ll cook her a steak meal (her favourite!)
Nope – with three kids under 3.5 valentines day is a bit of a blur!
maybe a dinner out
Run 13 miles
I am intrigued, why? Is it a charity half marathon Perhaps?
A quiet night in with a meal and bottle of wine
I’m single so no plans
A cosy night in with a bottle of wine, or two!
No plans really, we’ll proberly just get some take away & watch a film once our little one has gone to bed.
I have been told to expect a surprise, and to keep the date free (no plans in my diary). As boyfriend is planning a treat, may be a total surprise or he may give more information prior to the occasion.

We are going out for dinner the night before, but no plans for the day itself.
