Following on from another thread which I found quite upsetting I thought it would be nice to say something positive about yourself.

I have really good skin and people often think I'm younger than I am. I also think I am a nice person with good morals.

Tough one!
I keep going through severe pain and tiredness no matter what I won't give up for the sake of my kids. I hold our business and family together because I'm the only one will stand up and fight for it and put our needs ahead of everything and everyone else.

You have us yummy !

Keep going Farmmummy!

I have very nice feet. True.
Also I can cook the fuck out of anything. (In a good way, obvs)
I'm proud of my hair.
My DH does most of the cleaning, all the gardening and the DIY.
Form an orderly queue, ladies
(I know this is supposed to be about ourselves but I had the good sense to marry him.)

hyperspacebug · 07/09/2016 01:07

Lovely thread, but also hard read because I'm none of the cool things people listed :) Obviously in real life I'd roll eyes inwardly at self-denigrating - if only everyone knew how special they were and I'd rather be them :)

Anyway, a thing I Iike: I was always a big wimp about pain so I really appreciate my body for having handled three births easily!

I'm on level 27 Wink

RonaldMcDonald · 07/09/2016 01:22

I'm a very good sort.
I have impeccable taste.
I am ridiculously clumsy
I have and enjoy a large capacity for learning
I accept that I am beautiful but that that means nothing in a positive or negative sense ( this took a long time to figure out )
I enjoy really boring things

I can sing in tune
I beat/am beating an addiction that could have killed me.
I hit rock bottom and clawed my way back up to a life I could never have dreamed of 6 years ago.

i have learned to offer measured calm thoughtful responses in stressful situations.
i feel that no one treats me with disrespect. Any more.

MeganBacon · 08/09/2016 00:14

also, although i used to be anorexic, i now think my slight chubbiness is sexy. i like that i can even think that.

BlueFolly · 08/09/2016 00:25

I am funny and intelligent and always see the silver lining.

furlinedsheepskinjacket · 08/09/2016 01:41

i like everything about myself.not in any way perfect but i am happy.

ImogenTubbs · 08/09/2016 04:09

I'm very organised
I am never malicious or manipulative - genuinely always try and do right by people (although not claiming I always get it right!)
I have an amazing ability to remember song lyrics, which DD loves
I have great bobs Grin

ImogenTubbs · 08/09/2016 04:11

Ha ha - boobs, not bobs.

Clearly I'm not always very good at checking posts before I publish...

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 08/09/2016 07:31

Nice tits for a 60 year old.
Actually, nice tits for any age!

I'm much nicer in Real Life than I am online.
Also much funnier and sharper in RL too.
I make awesome Christmas stuffing.

mostlyslowly · 08/09/2016 08:08

Having thought of myself as a bit of an a-hole in my youth(I was), I've turned out ok, and having read about the behaviour of some of you MNers DP/ DH, I feel embarrassed by them. I'm turning into my dad who,IMO, was a hard working and selfless man . I won't ever be as nice as he was, but I'm not bad

FreddyFireflyCanFeckOff · 08/09/2016 08:53

I try really hard to be true to myself every day.

arwenearlythereyet · 08/09/2016 10:19

I am intelligent and witty (and sometimes even funny)
I have a burning moral sense of justice that I try to live by
I give a lot of time to charity
I'm a really supportive and generous friend
I am excellent to party with (despite being old)
I am a persistent, imaginative, terrible cook

And yet I would have been way more at home on the other thread!

Loving reading this about you all. You sound wonderful!
