Not really!

I threatened a full week of mush on the blog in honour of Valentines Day, but I wouldn’t do that to you.

Some people are filled with bile by Valentines Day, denouncing it as a vile commercial holiday designed to capitalise on peoples relationship guilt. To those people I say “Phhhhfffttttt” (think blowing a raspberry)

Personally I just like any excuse for a celebration, and if the calendar refuses to provide one I’ll often make one up. Super Hero Saturday is a personal favourite. So I say single schmingle, poor schmoor, and other made up words. This Sunday put on your best love heart pyjamas, make some hot chocolate in a mug with hearts on and settle down to watch Love Actually and get all mushy, even if you’re on your own.

To help you on your celebratory way I have today selected the winners of the Valentines Goodie Bag giveaway. There was a MASSIVE response to this one and I really wish I had enough goodie bags to give everyone one each (including me!) but I don’t. So here goes!

I can announce that the winners of the Naughty bag is…..

Drumroll please……

That’s Angel Cutsforth of Angels Style Scrapbook (comment number 489!)

And the winner of the Nice bag is….

Another drumroll….

That’s Dyl Cruz of Dog with no Brain (comment number 30!)

I’m having a few problems with my email, so if you read this here before you get an email from me can you please drop me a line with your address and I can get your prize to you asap!

CONGRATULATIONS!

Oh, I’m all for excuses to celebrate. I just don’t like that V-day is pretty much an over-commercialized glorification of coupledom, to the exclusion and detriment of those of us who are single. So my plan for the day atm is to celebrate anti-Valentine’s by doing things like watching totally unromantic movies and taking out my relationship frustrations by destroying clothes to refashion.

Congrats to the winners!

I love to be indulged by my hubby – but have to say I am a bit cynical about Valentines Day! Maybe it’s because my hubby is always romantic and doesn’t need the calendar to tell him when like so many others.

Well done to the winners!

V Day can be fun, you just have to avoid the high-street and tacky restaurants!

For an original, beautiful V Day gift please take a look at http://www.watchmego.co.uk for gorgeous vintage watches. Give him a classic dress watch and your beau will love you!

Thanks, J xx

I like your idea of watching a romantic movie on Valentine’s Day even if you’re on your own.
