As today is February 1st, you now have just fourteen days to figure out how you are going to make Valentine’s Day special for that significant other! So, best you get your thinking cap on…

This year Valentines falls on a Sunday, which is both a blessing and a curse. Curse-wise, one wonders whether you are going to want to go out for a big boozey (sorry, romantic!) Valentine’s night out when you’ve to face Monday morning at work the next day with a stinking hangover?!

Blessing-wise, being a Sunday means you can enjoy the whole day together!

Curse-wise again, that does mean that if you do forget to buy the obligatory Valentines card (at the very least) you are going to be stuffed. They’ll be no dashing off to work early and claiming you "had it all along", but simply "forgot to leave it by her pillow"! Also, you’re going to have trouble buying one hastily on a Sunday. No, instead, February 14th will be a whole day of torture for you.

Blessing-wise again, it does mean that if you are strapped for cash you can avoid the whole rip-off of paying twice as much to eat at your usual restaurant because it’s Valentines Day. Instead, you can go for a romantic walk or eat somewhere for lunch instead.

Whatever your situation and whatever floats your boat, the key thing is that you don’t forget. So get it in your head: not this Sunday but next is Valentine’s Day.

One final piece of advice and this particular advice is aimed at the forgetful of the species (men): shop early for her Valentine’s Day gifts before you forget. You can do it online, like now! You know it makes sense….!
