Although I sometimes think I am the more active member smile

"We rub along together ok don't we " - romance is not dead.
" Thank you for helping me Nanny"
Lots of things said in canine speak which boil down to, we love you and we are glad you are home.
Have to say I don't think we will beat your comment though Gonegirl smile

Expressions that used to make me happy, whilst I was slaving away at my PC;!
1. "Darling; dinner's on the table!"
2. "Are you coming to bed, darling?"

I tend to smile at "Ask Granna".

My wife is overly impressed by my vast knowledge of life.
Indeed, she regularly refers to me as a know it all, usually prefixed by an expletive.

Text from 15yr old grandson - "Hi Grandma, I am off school tomorrow and was just wondering if you wanted to meet up or anything?" smile

The only compliment I know my DF paid me - and that because someone with him told me.
'If anyone can do it, Monica can'

Both my parents were of the generation where praise was considered 'bad' for children. We knew they loved us and thought well of us but they would never say so directly to us. At their funerals, their friends all told us how endlessly proud they were of their 3 daughters.

Daddima I knew that things would get better for me if I continued to " Look on the bright side of life "
Please can you tell me where I send off my £50,000 cheque to to ensure that bloody cash van arrives at the correct address, promptly, and fully laden with cash.
Even if it was meant for H1954 I am more deserving!

Gonegirl Sat 29-Dec-18 14:37:52

I'm NOT fat. Actually. Just sturdy.

Gonegirl Sat 29-Dec-18 14:37:08

"You look better now you're fat", was pretty good.

Daddima Sat 29-Dec-18 14:32:21

‘ Your cash is being counted’

Ah! Holdingontometeeth. Making love definitely makes me happy & now on reflection I’m probably blessed to still have an active sex life, especially when I have now taken the time to read what other women go through at my age. I’ve no complaints ?

holdingontometeeth Sat 29-Dec-18 14:12:03

I am surprised that you didn't include Sex after the menopause, considering your recent post on another thread Vickixx

Rufus2 Sun 09-Dec-18 09:00:29

"You're so cuddly Grandad"! (Don't mind who says it, other than other Grandads.) tchgrin

Mapleleaf Sun 09-Dec-18 07:23:22
