valentines
It might not yet be spring but love is in the air! Valentines is around the corner and it's time to finalise those romantic plans. Follow the check-list below to help you get ready for cupids bow.
Card – A must, even for the most romance-phobic of us, surely! Whether it’s for the long term love of your life or that person in accounts you’ve had your eye on since the Christmas do - get it sent!
Flowers – It’s amazing what a bunch of flowers can do, even more so if they’re delivered in front of envious colleagues. There’s a bunch of flowers or single red rose to suit a variety of budgets and don’t just think they’re for girls, everyone loves flowers, don’t they?
Romantic meal – Cook something yummy at home, book a favourite restaurant or perhaps have a romantic outdoor picnic in the snow, with a flask of something hot and matching bobble hats. Alright we might be getting carried away there but the chance to chat over a meal in our hectic lives can make you both feel special and ignite that extra connection between you!

Trip to the clinic – No wait, seriously we have our reasons, hear us out. You single people out there will definitely need your condoms in case the person in accounts has been waiting just as anxiously as you have since the Christmas do. Those of you in new relationships might want to take things to the next level and plan for longer term contraception, getting some testing done to leave the condom days behind perhaps. And long-timers might want to start planning for a little person to join them in their lives in the near future.
Whatever the reason there are services out there to support your relationships; new or old. They are free, confidential and ultimately reassuring. You don’t necessarily need to go to a clinic either. Click on the links below to find the services that suits you most.
