Rococo chocolates are one of my favourites. Delicious and all wrapped in gorgeous blue and white packaging. The company was founded in 1983 by Chantal Coady, who, armed with a little knowledge and a dangerous passion for chocolate did what most of us simply dream about and opened her first chocolate shop on the King’s Road.
I’m running a competition. For Valentine’s Day. I’m going to make the answer either incredibly difficult or incredibly random so that I can be the winner.
Here is the prize: – a heart-shaped box of chocolates (worth £38.50) containing a selection of delicious chocolates:-
Here is the question:-
“You know you’re in love when……
Sorry. Can’t you read it? Print too small? Oh shame…prize looking all the more promising for me then.
I’d like your best answers please and as yet, I can’t tell you whether they will be judged on most humorous answer, most heart-wrenching, most toe-curling or most honest.
It’s my competition and I want to win. So I’ll be the judge.
Answers by end of 12th February please. The winner will need to collect the prize from Rococo’s main store at 5 Motcomb Street, but as an incentive you will be treated to a Valentine’s special Rococo hot chocolate shot and hand made heart biscuits – but don’t worry if you can’t get there -I will go on your behalf and pretend to be you.

February 2, 2010You know you’re in love when…you don’t have to hesitate in the answer to “Do you love them?”. If you say “I don’t know”, you’re not.
English Mum
February 2, 2010You know you’re in love when…your Hubby, even though you’ve been married 15 years, mows a heart into the lawn so that it’s the first thing you see when you open your curtains. And you don’t mind when he moans every time after that when he cuts the grass the it was a ‘really stupid f*cking idea and now I spend half my time p*ssing around trying to trim your f*cking heart’, because it was sweet. And let’s face it, if he didn’t spend half the time moaning, I wouldn’t love him half as much. The miserable old sod.
Family Affairs
February 2, 2010That is SO romantic and lovely … oh no, you might be on the winning list – I need to find a man to trim some of my foliage into a heart shape too (does that sound rude?)Lx
London Dad
February 2, 2010You know you are in love when…you blast her with sweet nothings and she replies “umm”…you push it harder and tell her she dominates your thoughts yet she still replies “umm”…you then conclude to yourself that the only explanation is that she wants to say more, but you accept that some people find it difficult. You let “umm” be whatever you want it to be and let your imagination run away for the better so that you can live your dreams. Finally you beg her to keep saying “umm” and she has no idea why.
Chocolates please. No one can beat that.
Family Affairs
February 2, 2010UMM? Is that all she has to say? That means that she can stuff her face full of chocolates and still keep you happy. I love that. Lx
London Dad
February 3, 2010Uum.she can eat all the chocolate she likes right up until she has a big bum. Then she will be fired immediately.
Family Affairs
February 3, 2010Oh. So your not shallow then. That’s good. Lx
Crystal Jigsaw
February 2, 2010You know you’re in love when, you don’t mind if he leaves his dirty pots on the side instead of putting them in the dishwasher.

February 3, 2010You know you’re in love when… Everything’s over. It’s been over for ages and even though everything was completely wrong, including, especially, the man himself but you realize you didn’t love the person he wanted to be or the person he should have been but him. Just him. Warts and all.
Gag, right?
Family Affairs
February 3, 2010GO AND GET HIM BACK! LX
Littlemummy
February 3, 2010You know you’re in love when…on your wedding night you find yourself trying to trim shapes into your erm lady garden with stencils and trimmer in a bid to impress your new husband (no it wasn’t me, yes she must have been very naive and very very tacky)
(someone told me that the batteries ran out in the trimmer and she ended up with a wonky arrow, not sure if it’s true but that’s what they say)
If I win the chocolates I could *cough* pass them onto her

February 8, 2010You know when you are in love when… you can hardly move, you can’t think, you can’t function but something in you tells you to keep going through the storm – despite the tears – for you are in love with live itself xx

February 8, 2010I know you don’t want me to say this, because you don’t think you are, but you are being very, very brave. Lx

My father-in-law actually did this.
Family Affairs
February 2, 2010OMG!! That’s amazing – although I’m assuming your father in law didn’t actually do this for you? It wouldn’t be quite the same L x
