I want to give my girlfriend the best Valentine’s Day but I don’t have much money
DEAR DEIDRE: WHAT I would really like is to give my girlfriend the best Valentine’s Day ever and to see her cry with joy.
I hope my mum is right that the best things in life are free because I don’t have much money to spare.

I am 27 and my girlfriend is 25.
She is very special to me and a major part of my world.
We have been together for almost ten months so this will be our first Valentine’s.
I am trying to think of something I can do that will not cost loads of money but will have the maximum impact.
DEIDRE SAYS: It need not cost a fortune to make your girlfriend feel loved.
Maybe turn your kitchen or hers into a restaurant with candlelight and flowers on the table.
Cook her favourite food.
Get tips from a cooking friend if you are no chef.
She will so appreciate the trouble you have taken.
There are more ideas in my Happy Valentine’s Day e-leaflet.
