        My son newly married last October has already done his bit for Valentines day. His wife's birthday was on the 11th so decided to combine the two.

        He put together a treasure hunt for her with clues and she received a gift with every stop-off in various locations including a neighbours and a cousins house, also a park. He'd also arranged to have dinner with her best friend and other half, then whisked her off to a hotel overnight.

        He's such a romantic, don't know where I went wrong! :scratch: :)

                    I was presented with a very heavy small box this morning,O the imagined delights ,cant be a fry pan to small a box. Dose it never end........he brought me Marmite,granted its the largest jar I have ever seen 500g. When did they start putting jokes on the back of the bottles.So looking forward to next year.

                      [​IMG]


                      The work was 'unveiled' today in London's Greenwich Park in time for Valentines Day. The sculptor used 420 jars of Champagne Marmite to create the work.
                      [​IMG] The artist said: "It will be interesting to see if this gains more popularity than the statue at St Pancras.. I'm sure that Marmite will once again polarize the nation – you'll either love it or hate it. It's a good thing I like the stuff, as I was licking my fingers as I created it!"

                      The Kiss, covered in Marmite!

                        marmite is ok, but Bovril is much better (for me)

                        fresh crusty bread thickly sliced (the crust is the best), with a thick layer of butter (not margarine), and a thin layer of bovril ...

                        or ... ryvita (the cracked black pepper ones), with butter, bovril and slices of either brie cheese or machango cheese ontop .... I could live on this:)
