my and my mate once got (from two very old boys in a Norfolk country pub)

I've had two that stick in my mind. OK, so I have a chubby history.

1) From an Ex boyfriend - "you'd have a good figure if you were slim". I dumped him not long after.

2) Over Xmas I was chatting to my brother and he mentioned his Sons Christening about 8 years ago. He had just come accross some of the pictures from it and said to me, "You were a right little tank in those days". Then spent the next few hours grovelling. I wasn't upset by it. At least he didn't say I still was.

Hmmmm

[redman41]

You look good in your Pic Mrs O ! :-)))

[mrs_overall]

Erm, I don't really look like a cleaning lady in an overall!

[snags]

'You don't sweat much for a fat bird'.

[rinkins]

I'm always suspicious if anyone says to me

"oh you're looking well"........hmmmmm

[mrs_overall]

Another good one was a few years ago at a posh do. I'd got a fancy frock on, killer heels, full slap, and I'd had my hair done in a different style (put up).
Someone approached me from behind & put their hands on my shoulders. When I turned around the person said
"Oh it's you. You look really sexy.....from behind"

[sara3]

last serious boyfriend, "you always wear underwear that fits properly".

really, that was meant to be a compliment :o/

[mrs_overall]

I once went to bed with a gob of moisturiser on my face I hadn't rubbed in. Mr O asked me what it was and I said "Moisturiser....to make me look beautiful."

After a very long pause he said "Big bottle, is it?"

[josaphine32]

Me: I'm so tired so im off to get some beauty sleep..... Him now EX said I won't wake you then Love.

[mrs_overall]

lol!

[China Doll]

My consultant giving me some urgent stuff to do cause if he gives it to me as opposed to his numpty of a PA that actually runs this particular clinic, 'If I know you're doing it, I can sleep safely knowing it will get done'... Unfortunately I agree with him so I did it.

[rowanwitch]
