Romance is perhaps not the first word that springs to mind upon considering the raison d'etre of the Poorhouse, but dearest readers, prepare to have your world-view shattered. Upon the daily scraping of trash magazines read by the Poorhouse an article appeared, albeit rather untimely in nature, providing information revealing mystic secrets of the world of love - and finally, how to definitively get yo' man, girlfriend.
Never one to wait for an appropriate time, here's a Valentines Special edition article from...well, you'll be able to guess what magazine by the time you're done. Because the Poorhouse would like to leave at least a little mystery in the magic of eternal love you are here presented with a "fill in the blanks" quiz to play. Read, think and then press "reveal answers" to see if you would get 10 out of 10 on the love-o-meter.
The perfect gift
It doesn't have to be extravagant but it should come from the heart. Stay away from expensive diamonds and surprise your loved on with something you've made yourself. Then heat up a Weight Watchers Cottage Pie (POINTS value of 5) and serve with steamed green vegetables. It will be ready in just 5.5 minutes - giving you more time to share those precious moments together.

Secret of success
If you've been eyeing a potential partner, Valentine's Day is the easiest time to let them know how you feel. Sign the card from "your Valentine" and let the games begin. It's a good idea to include a clue as to who you are - that way you'll have someone to help you eat your Weight Watchers Sweet & Sour Chicken with Rice (POINTS value of 5).
Reveal answersAway from it all
If your loved one surprises you with a weekend away, enjoy it! Dine out on something you wouldn't normally cook at home. Remember the Weight Watchers advice for eating out - and don't forget that there is always a Weight Watchers Chilli Beef & Potato Crush waiting at home.
Reveal answersCupid's arrow
If an unwanted admirer is glancing your way, you need a plausible reason for refusing a date. Going home to enjoy a delicious Weight Watchers Chicken, Leek & Mushroom Pie is probably not an excuse your admirer will accept so feel free to explain that it has a POINTS value of 6 and is topped with fully mash. But be warned - he may want to come home with you to share it!
Reveal answersAll for one
Not everyone can spend Valentine's Day with the one they love, but that doesn't mean you can't do something special just for you. Save some extra POINTS values for your evening meal and serve up a delicious Weight Watchers Chicken Korma with Basmati Rice.
Reveal answersSource - did you guess it yet? Weightwatchers Magazine, March 2007. Please do not confuse the above mentioned Cottage Pie with the similarly-branded 2005 version of Shepherds Pie. The Poorhouse usually forgets the difference between the two faux-pies, but in this case one was found to contain an illegal dye in it that could give you cancer should you eat it. Well, you'd lose weight for sure.
NB: Viewers at home who did actually get the missing words correct are firstly applauded for their wonderful taste in websites, but then swiftly chastised as being entirely unsuitable material to apply for the position of the Poor-Wife, woe betide you.
