Help needed - forgot flowers - ? What excuse?

[New_guy]

Say it in song, my good man.

I was workin' for hours and hours
And I ran out of time to get flowers
I was workin' and sweatin'
But now I'm regrettin'
The fact I ain't got you no flowers.

The tears run in streams down me face
As I think of your lovin' embrace
I'm shockin', not worth it,
No I just don't deserve it,
Your ever-so lovin' embrace.

They should come and chop off me head
Yep I clearly deserve to be dead
But darlin' don't break up
Because love to make up
I bought yer some chocolates instead.

Chocolates to follow

Killer sprocket not to shabby BTW

I bought flowers 2 days ago & said "I can't stand the rampant commercialism attached to ONE day when they jack the prices up. The day doesn't matter. It's YOU that matters".

You could try buying a HUGE bunch of flowers (completely ignoring the day & any/all reference to it) in a day or two. Present them saying "Happy St Ermintrude's day". Again, emphasis on "It's YOU, not the day that's important".

As an aside, try buying flowers during the year & declaring it St. Ermintrude's Day spontaneously. Brownie-points GALORE!!

******* brilliance !!!!
Flowers on Monday it is!!!

Just cut your losses and leave. If she needs recognition on Valentines Day then you are in for a long PMT filled life.

 

[TimT]

Yep - I've bought flowers on other days of the year but never Valentine's. It's nicer as a spontaneous thing.

I've trained my Mrs into realising that flowers are rediculous for a gift
they die after a few days (what an allegory for love...)
Give her a Potato, they last for fecking ever and then when you plant it in the ground, a new one comes up!
It's the gift that keeps on giving
And if you grow up enough of them, you can make potato vodka...

Yup, that was going to be my suggestion. Spuds are a great symbol of your ongoing love, not a symbol of dying love.

What about a six pack of beer? Six packs are romantic. Well, they would be if someone bought me one :lol:

What about a bottle of wine? My wife would probably prefer a bottle of wine to flowers. Don't know if that's a good thing or not?

Lawn mower?

 

[wide eyed and legless]

A pair of pruning shear from Bunnings she can go and cut her own, or breakdown and confess her you have a mild Aspergers disorder.

 

[MartinOC]

Ah, come on, guys!

You need to nurture "the one" that puts-up with your self-consuming, stinking, alcohol-fuelled hobby once in a while.

Buy her flowers every now & then when you've been away for a weekend with the boys, when you've spent too much on equipment, when you've "over-indulged" & made a dick of yourself. Just don't do it purely as an apology.

Do it for absolutely NO reason whatsoever. Randomly, spontaneously throughout the year, because you're thinking of her. Therein lies the value of buying flowers....

 

[daveHQ]

I bought my wife flowers randomly once, tripped her out totally!!

For weeks she was sus on why? There was no hidden reason either, lol

I earnt a massive amount of brownie points too

I won't buy valentines day crap, commercial crap like these days shit me!
