I have had a lovely surprise today I have recently been trying to make friends around my area and I had become friendly with a girl totally by accident. We seemed to have clicked quite strongly and she is married with four children like me. Well she has just text me and invited us all around to have a takeaway this evening and a drink. How lovely is that!!! So with it being valentines day have you had any unexpected surprises? Or any surprise invites to any place?

Well since the 13th was our Anniversary and we are away for the weekend we were blessed with a lot of Fun things to do while we have been here. We went to Red Lobster for our Anniversary dinner, and then on Valentines Day we just took things really slow and went to the Mall and walked around had a nice lunch, then we came back to the Hotel for about 2 hrs. where I got in a quick nap, and then we went to Applebee's for dinner and had a nice time, and then to the Mall. It was a wonderful day for sure, and a great get away. Hope your evening went great as well.

Well, I have not such experience this valentines day. But I did received a lot of messages from my friends with valentines greetings. I spend the day with my wife and son. We did have a great time.

I'm still so jealous of you. No, I haven't gotten any type of invites. I've made my own plans for this evening, which include staying in. We'll watch a movie until the kids are asleep, then that's when my plans will begin, lol!

LOL, that's always the case for me. The people I get along best with all live thousands of miles away! Well next weekend I'll be going to visit one. We met online a few years ago, and we've been to visit each other a few times. I do consider her my best friend even though she lives in Canada. But there's no way I can travel to UK for a visit, sorry. I would like to get there eventually in my life time... so when that time comes I hope we can plan a get together of some type.

I was invited out for Valentines day for the first time since I was in grade 7. I went for a midnight swim last night and it was awesome. I can honestly relate to hating Valentines day.

I have not had any unexpected invites fr valentines day. I hope that things go well with your new found girlfriend. It's nice to get to know your neighbourhood and be familiar with them. I am staying at home and spending quality tie with my family.

Yeah it is, and with them being a couple and having kids the same age as ours it will be nice for us all.

I had a very unexpected message on Valentine's Day by a guy I like. I wish he didn't live in Tennessee. But still it was very nice and so unexpected. That is when it is really nice don't you think

hello gemini_rose that was a lovely surprise that you recieved by one of your new friend's. good for you. you are becoming Mrs. Popular here lately with your social life and that is great news to hear about. and to answer your question about did i get any last minute surprises like that for today? yes, i did. our friend's called us the other night and invited us out tonight to eat with them. i am sitting here Mylotting waiting on them to show up. and both boys are away from home tonight as well, one of them is at my parents house and the other son is at his other grandma's house for the evening. whoo hoo! i cannot wait to go out tonight here soon and enjoy eating in a restaurant for a chance of pace. have fun tonight yourself! take care, have a beautiful evening and Happy Valentine's Day.

Yes I have been getting a bit popular, the only trouble with that though TnWoman is that jealousy comes and tries to spoil it so I am taking a step back for a while! But it has all been rather nice.

I'm happy that you have made a new friend and hope that the friendshiop gets stronger. Women need women no matter how happily married they may be. It certainly is a great surprise and I hope that all have a good time. Happy VD!

Yes you are right I have felt the need for another female to be close too, it is hard not having friends even though I went a long time without.
