This week, thoughts turn to love and disappointment.

Valentine’s Day has a special place in the underwhelming calendar, ranking slightly above taking the Christmas tree to the skip.

As is traditional, we would like to see how you are spending this special day - provided it’s not very good. If you have old photos of previous, terrible Valentine’s Day experiences, so much the better.

The kind of thing we’re interested in seeing:



Romantic walks ruined by drizzle



Beautiful meals left in the oven too long



Awful cards



Heartfelt (but in hindsight, slightly weird) gestures that seemed like a good idea at the time



Things we are not interested in seeing:



Anything actually romantic

Once we’ve gazed longingly at all your submissions, we’ll put the best together in a gallery to make single people feel better about themselves.
