With a date like this, there's no chance she would say no, so here's a tip for further savings:

They look quite happy to be fair. Fair play to them!

This is hilarious.
If you want to push the boat out on dessert they do 2 steam puddings, Betty something or Cadbury, add the 50p custard for the luxury feel.

Heat for entertainment value! If Poundland existed when my dad was young, this is exactly what he would have done for my poor mum!

I love this if youre on a budget, not everyone needs £££ spending on them on Valentines Day!

Or save even more money by not buying into this ridiculous concept and concentrate on all the free things you can do for someone you care about.
Valentines is for single people anyway isn't it? I never really understood when this concept changed.

Nice Valentine's Meal selection there OP - particularly the Crabs - Pickled Mussels (hopefully) - Meatballs and Custard
Although the Advent Calendar Chocs are probably way past the sell by date and may require the Emerge Energy Can Dual Function to enhance the Valentines Day Meal experience -
Which on second thoughts could be very appropriate
If all else fails - There's a Turkish Delight to fall back on! :smiley:

if you're feeling generous there's always a selection of branded bubble bath and artificial flowers you can rip the petals off (stalks always useful for the garden to hold up your wilting flowers.....PMSL). also, they sell durex play gel and the occasional vibrator and batteries just in case you want to keep in the good books for a budget wife peace keeping mission. bonus is you've had your tea and not been touched. saves money for buying the mistress a lovely bunch from ****. just saying. :smile::smile::smile::smile::smile:
