I'm better with compliments since someone told me that by denigrating the outfit or whatever you are actually denigrating the opinion of the person who has paid the compliment, in effect saying their view is worthless or wrong. I hadn't thought about it that way before. It certainly helps.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10059100440293689741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4375637475795118873.post-7200294683081658432016-06-07T08:24:48.160+01:002016-06-07T08:24:48.160+01:00@Lindsay I think it'll be easier to practise T...@Lindsay I think it'll be easier to practise Thank you than always having mini sheep at the ready!

That's it! Just 'thank you.' <br /><br />Now go and practise!Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04631254646368974136noreply@blogger.com
