So, gents how are all the passion and pampering plans going? That's a heads up for you if don't know - it's Valentine 's Day on Sunday, you know the day you spoil your true love with everything her heart desires.

To help you avoid being battered by a bunch of service station carnations and crappy valentine's card. I'm here to ease your pain with a good plan for Sunday's treat, what can I say, just call me Cupid.

First off, don't forget to get a card, a multitude of other Valentine's sins can be forgiven - but forgetting a card is not one of them. But before you get on your bike to Clinton's, I thought I would deliver a bit of a buyer's guide.

Now I'm no expert I have not received many in my life (well only two if we are counting and excluding one sent by my Mum) but when you get a 'bad' valentines card from a man it's a bigger turn off than 'bad' shoes.

Okay - it's a pretty simple, and there are only two rules to keep in mind....

1.       Nothing with a black and red colour scheme
2.       Nothing cartoony with crappy puns like 'I love ewe'

Of course this is my personal perspective only from experience. You see an old flame crashed and burned when he sent me a card with a pig in black and red suspenders, sporting the slogan 'makin' bacon'.

So, now you are all genned up on the card front, let's move on to the main base of your Valentine's plan, you just have to make her happy. Okay, okay I know you have possibly perpetually trying to achieve this goal for what feels like forever, but a recent study has revealed the top three things women have isolated as being the key to their happiness. So, I'm guessing if you cover these three bases, you should be home and dry. 

 Here are the three gems, in reverse order that make women happy are

In third place is going out with friends
In second is watching a comedy
And finally the jackpot, the number one spot is having sex with their partners.

So, happy days, that's your Valentine's sorted - go for a drink with your mates, bang on a Steve Martin DVD and round it off in the bedroom. According to the stats your girlie will be a happy woman - and you shouldn't feel too rough either.

Happy Valentine's Day
