Say that again Please

I just love compliments. I don't mean the ones that are obvious bullsh*t, I mean the ones that are heartfelt and come out of nowhere. Compliments mean a lot when you're going about your daily mundane business and someone tells you that your hair looks fab or you smell gorgeous, or when someone says to you "you're absolutely glowing - have you been on holiday"?

Gimme more!!

I went to my parents house today and their next door neighbour said to me I love the way you always come bearing gifts when you come to see your mum and dad, I'd love to have a daughter like you. How fab!! I was litarally squeezing my ego through my mum and dad's narrow doorway. His words made me feel valued.

I think it's best he doesn't know about me sneaking out of my mum and dad's house to rave when I was 14 or the terrible day when my dad had to collect me from the police station at 2 in the morning when I was 16. I was in the right place at the right time, but simply on the wrong day! Nor will I mention the time when I crashed my dad's car and he had to pay for the damage - my dad looked at me like I was a common criminal for about 10 years after that event.
