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

'Nana, I expect a lot of people will miss you when you're dead'
said by my youngest dgd three years ago and still makes me smile!

Just a happy 'Graaaaaaan!' as DGS1 runs towards me!

Does a thread “need monitoring”? confused
I thought that was GNHQ’s job where they had reservations?

7 GGC screeching Nanna when they see me.

From my 20 year old Grandson inviting me to his birthday dinner.
“It wouldn’t be a family meal without you Nanny”

I’m off to bed after a lovely evening with my family then back home to spend the rest of the night with my youngest. I linked in here to monitor this lovely thread.
MawBroon.. Can you explain,or as they say in Dragons den ‘I’m out’

MawBroon Tue 01-Jan-19 00:59:55

I quite like “That’s all. Rinse and spit out”

From my niece to my mother when she criticised my sister-in-law’s weight, ‘I love my super cuddly mummy’

My grandson - "Grandma, you really crack me up" and "Grandma, I'm so glad you know about football, no-one else does and I need to talk about it".

One of my DGDs, at family get-together last Saturday: "Grandma, this is just the best chocolate cake in the world, ever".

From my DH: "Your silver hair is so beautiful".

DGS at age 3 looking & staring at at a tiny mole on my neck & saying “what’s that” I tell him & he runs away in horror ? off now & happy new year to you all xx

Sluttygran, that’s hilarious ?

Emmaline Mon 31-Dec-18 23:34:20

"Hallo Mum" .. phone call from my daughter sunshine

From four years old DGD:
“I do love you Nanny, and I don’t mind you being a bit ugly!”

Back home after declining an invitation to remain for an after dinner celebration. Leaving it to the young ones ?Tuned in to see latest in ‘expressions that make you happy’ I think 2019 is going to be the year for all of you with so much love for your grandchildren.My heart is melting ? such lovely expressions of love.

You’re the best best Granny in the world - DGD.
I’ll bring one (new recipe) the next time we come - DDiL.
Thanks Mum - DS.
Thankyou for all you’ve done for me - DD.

My 8 year old DGS (who lived with me for most of the first 7 years with his mum my DD3) said to me just before Christmas “all of the good things about me Grandma are because of you” made my day! but very teary ?

Washerwoman Mon 31-Dec-18 22:33:24

As my little DGD said as she was leaving today.Bye bye Grandma.I will come again soon.
And I will see her again tomorrow. Lucky me.

MrTumble Mon 31-Dec-18 22:25:32

I love you Grandad,and I'm so happy when you spent time with me. From my 4 year old granddaughter. I'm lucky that I see her most days.

‘Would you like to eat with us?’ From lovely daughter in law who understands how seriously tired I am of cooking.

Sparklefizz Mon 31-Dec-18 21:00:38

"Your eyes are like shiny wet conkers, Grandma"

"Grandma, you've had your hair cut."
Me: "Yes, it had gone wispy on the ends."
"But Grandma, I liked those wispy bits!"

grandmac Mon 31-Dec-18 19:19:42

As I now live with my DD and her family my other AC and GC visit here. One of the DGD I live with was heard to say as one visit ended “I’m glad I’m the cousin that got the grandma to live with”. Makes all the noise and chaos of life with two little ones worthwhile.

Might seem rather odd to some, but it made my day:

Five year old grandson to his mummy, "Which granny is coming, is it Granny 'J' or Granny with the rules?"
Mummy, "Granny with the rules." (That would be me.)
Grandson, "Oh, cool."

KatyK Mon 31-Dec-18 18:07:16

From DH 'youre not fat'
From teenage granddaughter 'you are the nicest person I know' and 'Can I pop in nan?

angelic Mon 31-Dec-18 17:53:15

Son to Grandson, Nanny gives the best hugs ever, especially when your poorly

gillyknits Mon 31-Dec-18 15:37:12

‘Thank you Mum, talking to you has calmed me down and made me feel so much better about things, as usual. “
This from my son the other day.
