Tell me something lovely that made your day

[bridie69]

Following encounter with stag do was on a boat tour in Germany. Female tourist with toddler daughter was sat by herself and a group of male British teens on exchange trip came and sat at the same table which was in front of us.was about to ask her if she wanted to join us in case they were loud or upsetting or something. Instead they were charm itself, spoke politely to her, played gently with the little girl gave her some of their food helped her with ordering in German. Over to you.

My 11 month old started nursery this week as I went back to work. He can't walk yet so was apparently crawl chasing a newly walking toddler around the room and they were laughing their heads off. Best thing hearing your child laugh so even tho I wasn't there I could imagine exactly what was happening!

Dd flying around the room because her first ever boyfriend texted her a x

Arrived at work feeling a bit meh and tired, I'm a little run down.
Customer who had refused help more than once was finally persuaded by a colleague that we could possibly fix things and so sent me in to troubleshoot.
Exceeded all her expectations, found her lots of stuff after she'd spent months trying to find just one thing to fit properly.
As we progressed, she relaxed and opened up about her body confidence/identity issues. She gave me a huge spontaneous hug at the end

Sat down to read a book with my two boys (4 & 7) and within minutes they both wrapped their arms round me so tightly I couldn't turn the pages. It's lovely to be loved.

Threads like these are the best thing about mn I think.

I now have a warm glow to start the day with so thank you all

Watching DH chatting away lovingly to our newborn (pfb) DS.

My ds (3 years old, asc) had a really rough time settling into his mainstream nursery. I spent weeks supporting him in class until he got settled before the summer holidays. It was hard work but I really enjoyed it, ds is now incredibly happy at nursery, making friends and I got to know the staff at the nursery really well which has been brilliant. Anyway, a couple days ago, ds and I were leaving a supermarket at the same time as another family. The little girl kept pulling her mum's arm and whispering to her, then started waving like mad to ds. He ran over to her and I recognised her as being one of his classmates from last year, she's now in primary. She told her mum that MiniAsh and I are a lovely family and she misses him now she's in a different class. I worried about him fitting in because, while he is fairly high functioning and very verbal at home (albeit with short, incomplete sentences), he rarely talks to other children and has lots of very obvious autistic traits (we find them charming but can see why other kids might think him odd). Apparently though, and despite not having seen him since the beginning of July, this little girl thinks he is lovely and very funny. I now love that little girl, she's ace! And I'm less worried about his ability to fit in at his mainstream school. Faith in humanity restored!

Happy birthday crumbledfeta great start to your day

Great news Ashvis!

Thanks Fanjo, always nice when someone appreciates your dc! Great that other children can value the positive aspects of autism too.

And happy birthday Crumbled, hope you've a lovely day. I agree, some appreciation for brilliant men is a good thing. Your dh and dc sound awesome and amazing. Hope you find some nice friends in real life soon too. Thank you for starting this thread Bridie, I love reading about acts of kindness!

Been feeling really shit for a few weeks...recurring headaches so I went to bed when DD did last night. Was woken at about 10:30pm by DH getting in bed, snuggling in behind me, stroking my hair and telling me that he couldn't do anything without me Little thing for most, but it made me smile to myself and reflect on how I love him so much

Had a mum come up to me on the school run asking if I was Ds1's mum. I replied yes and she proceeded to tell me that he has really helped her DD 'O' settle into nursery and is one of the most lovely, considerate, polite young men she has ever met. He blushed furiously and said 'hi O's mummy how are you' I'm so proud of him because he's normally quite shy around new people. Have messaged DH, MIL, FIL, SILs....

Darn it, I appear to have dust in both eyes...

DH has been away with work all week. I haven't seen him since Monday. He's back tonight. He sent me a lovely good morning text this morning, which nearly made me cry (30 weeks pregnant). He was just being generally lovely. I text him back jokingly saying that he was creeping for a shag tonight then . He phoned me to say that he honestly wasn't creeping and he just can't wait to see me and has missed having me and bump taking up the whole bed there to cuddle up to. That did make me cry.

Was a while ago but when I was at Victoria Station last I saw a young guy waiting for I presume his girlfriend. He absolutely hugged the life out of her when she arrived they just embraced and embraced like they would never let go...Why don't more people kiss or show affection in public..that could be another thread of course

My teenage son ringing to see how I was on his way home from school at lunchtime - and when he got in he said I bought you a greggs sausage roll in case you haven't eaten love him x

These stories are so lovely.

I particularly liked:
We are proper skint - so hubby text me a picture of a lovely bunch of roses with the words" he would if he could", so silly but it really touched me.

For me, I work on a 30-week rotating shift pattern, where for every 10 weeks in 30 I basically don't see my DC for 6 days in 10. Today, a lovely, lovely colleague (whose children are grown up), offered to do my 10 week stint so I didn't miss out on time with my DC.

I feel very fuzzy and warm towards humanity today.

8 months pregnant and was struggling with my shopping today. A woman stopped me and asked if she could help. I was so touched I cried

Waking up early to be joined sandwich style by the kids & the cat to watch Disney films. Lovely all cuddled up, especially now the eldest is at high school & doesn't do affection

My DS asked my DD "tell me something you love about mummy" I was expecting the usual "she buys me presents or plays game games with me". Instead without a pause " I love mummy because she works hard to give us everything". She's 5. I felt so proud that she understands why I have to work so much.

that should be Dsis

My car needs a major service and lots of new parts which I just can't afford at the moment. I was in tears this morning about it and my boss offered to pay for it and told me he will deduct the cost from my salary over the next six months (which made me cry even more). He's the best boss ever
