Valentine’s Day Cards for Pets #spon

Yep. For pets.

Now I know what you're thinking...

                   ......but did I mention our new little miniature schnauzer?

And have you see this little miniature schnauzer???

Well what's a girl to do when her husband doesn't 'do' Valentine’s Day??

It seems Hallmark are a bunch of animal admirers too as they've designed this card to let you show your love for your furry friends. On the Hallmark website you’ll find a great selection of Valentine Cards for everyone, including those with four legs (but please - no birds or fish - we really need to draw the line somewhere).

Now all I need to do is teach the dog to order on line and this years Valentines Day is bound to go swimmingly!

We don't do Valentines (I think)

A number of years ago the husband came home from work declaring 'We don't do Valentines do we?'

I thought for a split second before replying. 'No. We don't do Valentines. I hate it'.

'I hate it too' he went on. 'All that fake 'love' shit. Besides, I don't need Valentines Day to buy you flowers'.

'That's right' I agreed, whilst pausing to think back unsuccessfully to a time when he had bought me flowers.

'So you won't be disappointed if I don't buy you something?'

'Of course not!' I proclaimed full of superiority at those losers who played the Valentines game.

Listography - Things I'd Love This Valentines

Love is in the air so for this weeks Listography I thought I'd send some ideas across the blogosphere as to what I'd like to receive this Valentines Day.

Actually this is beyond just wishful thinking. On the 13th February every year I am reliably informed (warned) that 'we don't do Valentines'. Ouch. No romantic candlelit dinner for me then.

So I don't know if I'm being foolish, I don't know if I'm being wise....but they do say to aim high and see where you fall.

1. A maid on speed dial.
I can't keep up. Even if I spent every hour of the day cleaning the house there would still be a trail of toys from 'room they were playing in' to 'room they are now playing in'. And the dinner would still need to be cooked. I can do one or the other - not both.


2. A Personal Assistant.
Nope, that's not the same as a maid. My PA would be there to take care of the admin. God I hate admin. Bills, Doctors, Schools, Tax, Banks, Cars, the list is endless and the thanks is zero.

3. Anything in a little blue box.
Well not any blue box. One of these please:



4. A Vivienne Westwood Dress.
I have coveted one of these for some time. Sadly I think it will never be.




5. A bouquet of flowers
Ok I'm going for a slightly more realistic and predictable one to finish up with. However, see the way I said bouquet instead of bunch? Well that's what I mean. NOT a bunch of Tesco's Finest, NOT a bunch picked up in the garage on the way home from work. A bouquet - from a florist.


I realise that I sound like a complete bitch but as I say - it's not as if I'm going to lose out on anything. You, on the other hand, may use this as an opportunity to drop some much needed hints to your other halves. Write your own list on your own blog and then come back and put your details into the linky below.
(And do come back and tell me if you got any of them!)
