The thread on expressions that irritate you is going well. Now for expressions that make you happy & are nice to hear. I’ll begin & of the top of my head they would be ?

I love you
You have a lovely smile
That was a wonderful meal
I can always count on you to help
You have the most amazing children & grandchildren
Your are so kind

Fourormore...if I had a 15 year old grandson who asked that lovely question it would definitely make my day.

Don't worry Nana, I'll help you (from my 3 year old Grandson) smile

What a thoroughly unpleasant man holdingontomyteeth is.

We are not married by any chance, are we?

‘love you, I’m off out, will be back home in a few hours’ is music to my ears. It’s just been said by my youngest who is home for Christmas ❤️

An expression that used to make me happy but I won’t hear again - “Glad you’re home safely, I really enjoyed our day together.” This happened when I used to phone my dear friend Jean after driving home from a day spent with her. Jean died in October 2017 and I miss her so much.

Expressions I still hear said to their Mum or Dad, from GD, 9 and GS, 8. “ Call us when Nan is going home because we want to say goodbye”. They spend increasing amounts of time in their bedrooms but still want to see me for a hug and a kiss before I head home.

Mine is simply Thank you, that was lovely

Vickixx Mon 31-Dec-18 13:24:15

Sarahellen, thats so funny. The worst response I’ve had when at DHs work function recently & when asked my children’s ages by another one of the wives attending was & I quote
“ you must have been married at 16” I love your second response. I’m going to keep it in mind. Thanks!

"Alright lovely Mum". Never hear it now.

mabon1 Mon 31-Dec-18 13:04:39

All about you then Vickixx!

A smile and thank you for 'You don't look it' if asked a genuine reason for my age.
For those 'being B****Y personal' my response is 'so what am I supposed to look like '

What a thoroughly unpleasant man holdingontomyteeth is.

On a better note " I just needed to come to see that you are ok" said by a kind friend because I have been unwell lately.

Grandma - let's dance!!! Put on Bruno Mars!
Yay!!

seadragon Mon 31-Dec-18 12:43:08

" I love you with all my heart and tuppence of my liver" - one of my mother's many sayings which still pop into my head when needed......

megan123 Mon 31-Dec-18 12:27:41

And just now -

"Just topped my phone up Gran, are you ok, I love you"

eilyann Mon 31-Dec-18 12:22:00

I love you Grandma 'cos you've got eyebrows!

Tamayra Mon 31-Dec-18 12:18:53

My Mums not frightened of anything
My 5 yr old said this to his teacher
And from my overseas teenage Grandkuds
We miss you so much Grandma

Kim19 Mon 31-Dec-18 12:18:08

You are one OK person.

Conni7 Mon 31-Dec-18 11:34:52

NannyG123 Mon 31-Dec-18 11:32:42

I love you Nanny, and I'll pay when out for meal or a snack. ☕??

Ashcombe Mon 31-Dec-18 11:18:45

I’ve missed you, Grandma!
Thank you for thinking of me.

MrsDoyle Mon 31-Dec-18 11:13:31

Grandma, I love your house, it’s sooooo Christmassy. Worth all the effort to hear that but I suspect it also has something to do with the pile of presents under the tree, lol.

David1968 Mon 31-Dec-18 10:52:40

"Hello, anyone home?" (Called by DH when he arrives back home & I'm here.)

Lilypops Mon 31-Dec-18 10:21:25

GabriellaG54 Mon 31-Dec-18 10:21:21

When the cash machine tells me "We will have checked your card in a moment." I wonder what tense it is every time smile
