Let's say you are going out with a bird and her birthday falls on February 13.

Do you

a ) get her a birthday present AND a Valentines day present?

b ) get her a joint present for both?

c ) get her anything and she should be grateful either way?
 
Even as a bird I feel qualified to answer this question as my birthday is on February 12th and previous boyfriends have also had the same dilema as you. Do not, whatever you do, send both her birthday card and Valentines card in the same envelope to save on postage :angry: It is NOT appreciated :angry: I don't care how impoverished you may be, sell a body part if necessary to fund the cost of two fecking stamps :angry:

A is obviously the correct answer :D

Yep, I'll be 28 too. Nothing exciting planned for me. Expect I'll be in bed by 10pm after a mug of hot chocolate. I am sooo middle aged :lol:
 
PDJ, let me offer you one piece of advice. ive listened to griffens argument, and its clear whats shes saying... it wasnt getting the two cards in one envolope that bothered her, it was the waste of the stamp..

by getting up an hour early, you can save money by nipping round and popping it in the letterbox. your effort will be appreciated, as will your level headed attitude towards being economical.

also, by snooping round her house, old xmas cards can be a lifesaver, they already have her name on them!! a bit of sprinkles here, a love heart there, and badge and a baloon on the other, and hey presto, youve got your cards, pre writtn, just sign.

Your innovation and thinking will without doubt impress the luckylady in question, and she will think you are just the most wonderful man ever!!! Youl knock her bandy!!!!

Trust me, i know how to keep a woman happy. B)

:P :P :P well i would if i wasnt single!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

No, there's not much excitement in my life and the thrill of opening two cards was cruelly taken away from me :cry: I was made to feel as if I wasn't special enough to have two ocassions :cry: In a way I understand how those poor kids must feel who were unfortunate enough to be born on Christmas Day :cry:

Nobody cares :cry:
 
You're not wrong there - I've rarely had two seperate presents, etc. It's usually dinner on one or other of the days, and ditto for the presents!! Valentines Day is usually the one that gets forgotten, but on one occasion my then boyfriend sent me a dozen red roses & had them delivered to work - I was managing a bookies at the time! There was a flip side, mind - he moaned incessantly for weeks that he had to fork out £50 for s dozen red roses to be delivered!!! :lol:
 
:o £50...........wow!! may just be PAPER ROSES ...this year

the words to the song are...............


I realize the ways your eyes deceived me
with tender looks that I mistook for love
So take away the flowers that you gave me
and send the kind that you remind me of.

Paper Roses, Paper Roses,
oh, how real those roses seemed to me.
But they're only, Imitation,
like your imitation love for me.

I thought that you would be a perfect lover.
You seemed so full of sweetness at the start.
But like a big red rose that's made of paper,
there isn't any sweetness in your heart.

Paper Roses, Paper Roses,
oh, how real those roses seemed to me.
But they're only, Imitation,
like your imitation love for me.
 
It's alright, I'm not overly bothered about roses!

If you're stuck for ideas, sweetie, Ernest Jones does a good line in diamonds - white gold (or better still, platinum) is preferred too please..........;) :P
 
As a man whose birthday also falls within a couple of days of valentines day, I also feel able to supply you with an answer.

The correct approach is

d) Buy a birthday present and on valentines day deliver a heartfelt speech on how much of a commercially created fucking rip off it is and while we're at it, shouldn't easter be the bigger celebration than christmas, but the plc's will have us spending vast amounts of money on both.

B) Trust me, I'm a gynaecologist.
 
I know a fellow who has a bird. He got her a phone for Christmas a week before and got her a surprise at 8pm on Christmas Eve from a friend who had a few unwanted gifts. Then for her 21stin Jan he didnt even get her a card.

She still loves him......

Thats the way to do it.
 
An ex of mine forgot my birthday and I was a little upset that I didn't even get a card. He went out and got me on from the local garage and it was horrendous. I wished he hadn't bothered. Be careful what you wish for. B)
 
i recycled a christmas card when gate crashing my mates sisters party recently... she was delighted with it. so much so, she sent it back to me a month later on my birthday. if i can find it, shes gettin it again this year!!!!!
 
"I thought about getting you a really beautiful card for your birthday and it's the thought that counts."

If she whinges, dump her. Who's in control here?
