Sundays!
Just wanted to ask what everyone is doing for Valentine's Day? Looking forward to a relaxing Sunday (with no nagging! 8) ) but doubt that'll happen! Think we may lay off the chocolates though and go for a walk in the day, followed up by a homemade vege-chilli in the evening... although, saying that, things very rarely go to plan with my gf!

my lovely amazing parents have bought my hubby and me a day spa treat and are having my son ALL day - which is great as being autistic teenager he is very challenging at the moment, I am slightly worried that they may not cope all day and I am hoping it goes to plan - but hey if it goes pear shaped I can always stay and my oh can go get him :lol: :lol: :lol:

Having no energy as this is so limiting.
Lovinglife - I hope you have a really lovely day!

Ardbeg - I had to laugh at your blood donor idea and told my husband about it. He says to warn you that you may have to take her to a tea shop at the very least as she won't get a cup of tea at her first donor session! :lol:

We are going for a luxury picnic and then to the health club for a steamy session in the steam room! :shock: :lol:

rather you than me, our minimum thermometer reading yesterday was -18 and I'm in SW France, not SW Scotland.
Hope everyone who's doing something has a lovely day.

We will only be stripping off for the steam room! :lol: :roll:

But we will be hoping for some lovely sunshine when we park by the beach. We have had lovely sunny weather here for a while now and it is just beautiful today. :D

soaps on telly and people talking about the characters as if they were real.
Fillet steaks and veggies followed by stewed fruit and cream, For lunch. then babysitting granddaughter whilst daughter and son-in-law go out for a meal. They didn't get to go out last year and the year before, Granddaughter was too imminent.

Carvery type meal in posh hotel tomorrow night- lots of lovely veg and protein, avoid potatoes if wanted.

Salmon for starters, cheesboard for pudding, VERY diabetically friendly choice

During the day I shall be mostly watching telly, eating toast n bacon and freshly brewed coffee with cream whilst OH is at work in the morning

whilst lamenting the HUGE Thorntons box chocs I got him. Still, any one know how many carbs in flowers ? :lol:
