General Chat

After a lifetime of 'parents evenings'...years later my two daughters agreed,,,'we were always dead proud of you mum,,,you always looked so nice and dressed up' My mum before she died talking to a friend,,'I love going to all the girls houses at christmas..but our Claire makes christmas for me',,bless her i wish i was still 'making christmas ' for her. My hubbie,,,'my life would be over without you in it.' My grandson,,'your not old grandma...your beautiful'

that i look pretty in the dark, the night was lit by the moon ,but he wasnt the romantic type lol.

Hmmm... not sure... Someone said I was beautiful and gorgeous last night which was nice... xx

The one that really sticks out is when I was chatting to my boss and said 'nobody is indespensible' and he said 'Yes you are!' Julie xxx

I sell on Ebay and today I had an email from a chap I helped out with a sale yesterday - he bought a couple of items from me and I combined postage for him. He emailed me just to say THANKS and that he wouldn't hesitate to do business with me again and that he would recommend me to all his mates - I sell Radio Control Truck Parts by the way before you all start getting bizarre ideas! lol It's just nice to know that you efforts are appreciated sometimes.

Oh Rosie that is so nice but brought tears to my eyes cos you lost him soon after. Have been lucky enough to have had several nice things said to me over the years - will have to think about which was the nicest. Liz PS thanks, Lucia

hyah there are two ... hard to choose so will post both .... my grandaughter when she was 5/6 (she is 18 now) said ' Grandma if u were any gooder u would be gooder than God' ..... what had i done to deserve this??? had taken Joanne and her best friend out for lunch then to the cinema to see Babe ..... The other was in May 2003 couple of weeks before my husband died ..... he said 'there are givers and takers in this world sugar (his pet name for me lol) you have always been a giver and i am glad i married you' .... we had been married 43 years xxxx

My daughter, who is having a rough pregnancy with twins, told me that apart from her hubby, she couldn't have got through the last few weeks without me and her Dad. Last year I got a wonderful mother's day card from my son who was going through a separation with his partner. He is a man of few words but he thanked me in his card for the support I had given him last year and 'for always'. I still look at it and get teary. Susan

'It's a girl and she's fine'

My mother in law (now sadly gone) told me that I was the daughter she always wanted but never had. and on a more frivolous note another mum at a parents' evening, stone cold sober said that I always looked 'effortlessly glamorous'. I was staggered, especially as her sister was a beautician and always looked brilliant! nell

My dad telling me how proud he was of me for doing the Sahara Trek. although i know he loves me he has never said anything like this to me before & i can honestly say that meant more to me than anything anybody else has said. Tracey -x-

You have a normal life expectancy I'd been told 4 months before I had a genetic skin cancer that would never go away - I thought I was knocking on heavens door Penny

My five year old telling me that she loves me best in the whole wide world. Got a wonderful cuddle as well. I could've eaten her !!!!!!!!!

When my son was four ( 11 now) turned round and said ' When I'm a big boy I'm going to marry you Mummy' Ah bless, he denies it now and says ' No chance! Joanne

''It's a boy!!'' after 7 years of treatment and ''It's a girl!!'' after no time at all!! Merry

Oh cheeer me up time LOL - I added to the other thread and had to delete it - it upset me so much to write it! Nicest thing was probably my then 4 year old granddaughter singing 'Old Mac Donald' - she had done all the cows and ducks etc and decided that Old MacDonald also had a Granny. I thought 'wait for it' LOL - but when she started with 'With a laugh laugh here and a laugh laugh there' Another time I remarked to my husband that I wished I had had as much patience with our two as I had with our grandaughter. It was a very simple thing but it meant a lot. All he said was 'You did' Mags xx

Oh dear - apart from, and I quote 'Three little words' from my Ex ..... I'm struggling :O((( Other than that I have had some nice words from recipients of my scarves lol ...........

Oh Elaine. That's really is a complement. X

Yes when I asked her to marry me xxxxx
