I turned over £49k last month - more than you earn in a year
I don't mind a simple card, but I don't subscribe to the excessive marketing hype

I can assure you that when I stop in a hotel for a romantic evening that I make sure the girlfriend does not find out about it.

Bad move. Turn over is neither profit nor proof of any gain. I suppose boasting is now the norm, doesn't rock my boat though. Anyone can go out and lose money. Banks have for many years turned over billions daily but they managed to lose far more than they gained. St. Valentine's day is for lovers. My better half and me are lovers. On an aside note, any suggestions for a pearl wedding anniversary present? June this year.

A pearl necklace is the normal thing to give.

That's one excuse.
The other might be you've got to spend the 14th with the Mrs ;-)

I spent half the week at the lad's nursery showing them how to make chinese crackers out of lopped up 20mm conduit :) Worked really well when the kids had painted them, glittered and I'd threaded them onto red wool in a bunch.
They wouldn't let me make them "functional" though :(

Yeah - but check. My missus wouldn't even let me buy the big earrings. Scared to wear that much money. But you know her by know!

I'm not sure it comes across as innocent in Samuel Pepys' diaries.

Lot of blokes coming out of Tesco today holding a bunch of flowers and a card. They don't sell Strelitzia, indeed, most florists don't without prior warning, so I have to plan in advance.

Yes, I tried that. No luck so far.
The fact that I'm capable of designing and printing a card that is the equal of anything sold in a shop[1] isn't apparently a bonus point either. Nor is having the foresight to have photo-quality card stock in my stationery cupboard and having an adequate supply of ink cartridges to do the job. Can't win, but that does with being male.
[1] OK, I admit they don't set high standards.- Vote on answer

I do not doubt your card making skills, but what Valentines present did your wife buy or make for you? Equality for the sexes my arse. Valentines Day only exists to empty men's wallets.
No, they set high prices, but you have worked that out and beat me to it:-)
