We're not going out :o
I'm on a fast day and hub is on a calorie controlled diet.

Might have steak and celeriac chips!

Are you celebrating - if so, how?

Like you we are fasting here. At the risk of sounding a 'grumpy old woman' we are not keen on the commercialisation of days like this. My lovely other half often buys me flowers or other treats so we don't need valentines day for that. Have had a delicious home cooked dinner tonight, and pud too! Back on fast now though.

Not going out or buying any flowers, chocs or anything but hoping to have a nice meal and I am going to make some heart-shaped treats. Not sure what to eat or what treats but as I'm fasting today I'll think about that tomorrow!

Out for breakfast together. We live apart so its a rare and lovely chance to be together on V day, and have some time while boys are at school.

Fasting! :D

We're not into Valentine's day in any big way. Well, not since we were teenagers anyway, and that's a long time ago now!

iPad failure again yesterday :!:
Not celebrating valentines day as such.....our wedding anniversary and sons birthday so lots of cakes and goodies to look forward to. ;) Should be fasting today but did it yesterday instead, on account of lots of Shrove Tuesday pancakes and today's celebrations. :?
Will be glad when this weeks over with. Still can't help feeling guilty about eating "normal". Then I will hopefully stick to Monday's and Thursday every week.

Have a nice day everyone

Just had some little heart-shaped orange cakes that I made for OH and I to share over morning coffee...he was touched :-D

He gave me a red rose.

That's as far as we'll go to celebrate Valentine's day!

Fasting - but salmon, lots of veg and (a little) couscous for dinner, followed by meringue nest, 25g cornish ice cream & pineapple! No wine though - that's tomorrow!
