Every year since I met my wife it's been the same old gifts and cards,and flowers, for Valentines day, it gets boring after a while and predictable this year intend to do something totaly different.

when she wakes up on Valentines day ,she will get her predictable card and of course the predictable red roses and of course the obligatory box of chocolates.

,I will just go on as normal through out the rest off the day and in the evening after I have cooked the predictable and oblagitory romantic meal with the predictable and obligatory Champagne,after I have run her predictable candle lit bubble bath and she is completely relaxed and loved up to the eyeballs,after the back rub and the foot massage.

I will produce from my secret hiding place the gift that I have had hidden away for a while, just waiting for this moment,for over a year now I have been planning this secretly hiding some money away, and setting things up whilst she has been at University,I am on first name terms with the travel agents who must be sick of the sight of me by now.

I have booked a weeks holiday for the whole family to enjoy and Alison hasn't got a clue,the only down side is that we won't be going until Easter time because of her Study and of course the childrens Schooling.but we haven't had a break away from home since we went to Orlando in 2005,and with all of her studying she deserves it.

We are going to Port Aventura in Spain,and I have also got tickets for the Universal Studio's Theme Park in Port Aventura.

I hope she enjoys her Valentines gift this year,shhh its a secret please dont tell her .....jimmy
