What's the loveliest thing that anyone has ever said to you and it really registered?

[Megglevache]

Feelgood please....no mervin' or talking about bum and banjos.

During my pregnancy with dd, i was having a little emotional meltdown in my boss' office (as you do) and he said: you will make a bloody brilliant mum.
That really lifted my spirits no end

Awwww ...I got asked on the nightbus if I was a ladyboy once.
Made my night.

i popped to see my elderly neighbour this morning to make sure she was ok and to see if she needed anything.she was waiting for a taxi to take her to the hairdressers so i stayed until it came and chatted with her.as i was leaving she said to me 'i wish you were my daughter your so lovely and kind'.i know from chatting in the past that she lost 4 babies through miscarriages and never got to become a mum,she would have made a super mum aswell.

DH tells me I'm the most beautiful woman in the world every day.....think thats after the slap has been put on.......

But seriously, he is very lucky to have me

Megglevache, your ladyboy comment has made my night

One chilly evening in February 1999 just in front of Holborn station, DH, who was 'just a friend' then told me he was in love with me and he would go to the ends of the earth with me. Definitely one of the most romantic moments of my life, though I think I looked like a shocked goldfish at the time

Last week dh told me that my face looked so happy and beautiful when I talked about the baby I had been asked to nanny that he wants me to turn down the job and try for another one of our own.

Awww Cother!

My DS who we adopted last year has said some really lovely things which after years of being a Mummy in waiting have meant the world:

Mummy you are in my heart forever

after a rubbish day & telling him I would try better at being the best Mummy he looked at me , gave me a hug & said but Mummy you already are the best Mummy.

& the one that makes me laugh is when I was getting ready to go out & he said Mummy you are really lovely but you do look better with clothes on !

I am currently on maternity leave and let go of my childminding contracts, thinking its not fair to expect parents and children to come back to me after they've settled elsewhere. A couple of weeks ago I bumped into a parent who asked me when I'm starting work again, and can I please text her the exact date so her LO can come straight back to me. Doesnt sound like much but I really doubt myself when working with parents so it means the world to me that she would choose to bring him back. I miss the little dude too....

A little girl I have childminded for years asked if she could come to tea at my house more often because "WantAnOrange is the best cook in the world". When she left me her mum said "she's going to miss you, you've been like another mum to her". She also wrote me a card herself (she's 6) that perefectly summed us up, it said "I had fun at (WantAnOrange's) howse", and that was all .

It's no good, I want them back......

Orange how lovely you sound.

I know pinot. I've been nagging him for suggesting a third for four years so fuck the face bit - the baby bit is the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me ever!.

One of the nursery staff told me that DD 'has the happiest soul' the other day. I liked that a lot

Hobbitation, DP and I met for our first date at Holborn station in January 1999 and several times in the next couple of months. I wonder if our paths crossed with yours!

I had a boyfriend who was tactless to the point of rude and once when I was in a bout of depression he said "I don't understand how you can ever feel sad, when all you have to do is look in a mirror to see how beautiful you are." I will always think fondly of him for that.
I've had a bad couple of months self-esteem wise and two things have happened that were really lovely. DP and I bumped into an old boyfriend, who was a really lovely man, but I was such a fickle commitment phobe when we dated that I flitted off rather and didn't give him a chance. Anyway, we had a pleasant evening catching up and when we left, he shook DP's hand and said "Well done mate, you're so lucky."
Last week I had a genuinely life-changing one. I have been a teacher for ten years and recently I have been totally disillusioned and unhappy with the whole thing. A lad with dyslexia in my class delivered an amazing presentation and afterwards sought me out to thank me for everything I had done for him. Think he may have saved my career!

Oh and I just about held it together at apple's post but BeaLola, that has tipped me over the edge. Sobbing now.

Think life would be so much nicer if we could say nicer things to each other each day. Loved the story about the bloke on the tube who gave someone a poem. We should raise our sons to be like that!

Megglevache Im not really, children are just easy to brainwash .

Good point Orange....as you were

Elinor..wouldn't it be freaky if poem tube boy was at Holborn too ...ooooh...

When a really great friend gave a personal reference to SS saying she'd changed her wishes with her solicitor so that I would look after her children if her and her husband died.

After DD was born in 2008, my H said to me

"I love you more than ever now have had our child"

It was lovely.

Fast forward 4 years later he walks out after getting obsessed with OW and claims he has been unhappy for years..... Now XH.

But it still remains the most lovely thing that anyone ever says to me even if its no longer true...

This is very minor compared to some of these. A colleague of mine left last week and she gave me a Little Miss Sunshine mug because she said that's how she sees me. Made my day especially as I'm being treated for depression just now and don't always feel very sunshiney.

Was having a conversation with one of my best friends who I really love and think is super cool and always feel grateful that she's my friend. She was about to go on hajj (once in a lifetime pilgrimage that Muslims do), and was very emotional and asking me to forgive her for anything she had done wrong, and she told me I was the nicest person she has ever known, and coming from her that meant sooo much. And I've never told anyone about it before!

I took a job at a place where a friend of mine had worked previously. Relationship with this friend is weird in that it is very close, but very un-huggy, never say anything nice to each other etc - and sometimes she can be an unbearable bighead. So when a former colleague of hers, whom I knew her to have been very socially friendly with, said, 'Oh X told me you were coming to work here! I've heard so much about you' - I was bracing myself for her to say, 'X says you drive a beat-up old car/X says you never stop eating/X says you're late for everything' (all of which were/are true, and she'd said to my face before - so I was really shocked and almost burst into tears on the spot when she said, 'Yeah, X said to me you'll really like emsyj, she's just really... kind'.
