    I never buy my Mrs flowers on valentines. I worked in supermarkets for years and the price is increased by about 50%
    This year I bought her 2 cauliflowers
    And I will sort her some of my special cheesy sauce later!

    I was well chuffed. I found some proper Thornton's chocolates over here.

    Much better than the American 'fake chocolate' *****

    I went to Tesco on Monday and bought a bunch of really nice, dark red ones for £4. I couldn't believe the quality for that price and guess what - they have opened up beautifully as the days have gone by. Today they are sitting in a vase on the dining table and look PERFECT.

    Long gone are the days when I frequent the high street florists on the 14th Feb and shell out £30 or £40 for a very average bouquet of flowers. I don't mind paying for something decent but I do NOT like being ripped off :mad:

    A likely story. Admit it, you ate one on the way home didn't you?

    I am a chef and make a superb cheese sauce, with 3 types of cheese and Dijon mustard. Goes great with cauliflower!
