Happy Valentine’s Day all. I got actually 4 letters, all of which were bills to pay. The day of lovers can be quite traumatic for single women (will someone like me?) and married men (I hope I got her the right gift this year). I simply got my wife some Godiva chocolates, a great big plate of sushi and a good bottle of champagne. Let’s hope it makes up for all the times I forget stuff during the other 364 days of the year. Remember, it is never too late to tell that special person in your life you love them, and it doesn’t cost anything either. Winning.

Graffiti etched onto a bolted security door decorates one of the blocks on the derelict Heygate estate in South London, Novembver 29, 2011. Britain's economy will stagnate until mid-2012 and could easily fall back into recession, the government said on Tuesday, a grim outlook that puts its debt reduction plans in jeopardy and will mean more austerity for longer. Finance Minister George Osborne, unveiling much lower growth and higher borrowing forecasts than outlined in March, said the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition government's deficit plan was still broadly on track but he had lost a one-year cushion factored in to the strategy.
