Okay, so today is my day off and I had a lot to catch up on. Did some housework etc than went grocery shopping. Our main shopping complex was built on rather a steep slope so to get your groceries out to your car without tipping the trolley over requires a great amount of skill. I was just about to embark on this impossible task when a lovely lady (about 55 -60) whom I had never met asked me if I needed help. I politely say no thankyou but she helped me anyway! She helped manouvre the trolley right over to my car and then held the trolley while I unpacked my groceries into the car! In this day and age this sort of gesture is very rare and I was very grateful for her help. I thanked her a dozen times but she thought it was nothing! Its lovely to come across such lovely people every now and then!

So I get back in my car and start to drive home and my phone rings. Its my boss from work. I thought "Oh God, what have I done now?"

(I got counselled yesterday as my till was over $50 - for those of you who dont know I am a "checkout chick at Big W") She tells me they have some parrot seed they were going to throw out as all the boxes are faulty and would I like some? Well you can guess what I said! I was there in 2 minutes flat and they had 6 huge bags of budgie, small parrot mix and wild bird seed for me!! So I wont need to buy any for a long long long time! Must be my lucky day! Someone up there likes me!!!!

Yes, maybe you should!

Wow what a warm fuzzy day.

Yes you and Denise are like that movie with Lindsay Lohan in it (forget the name). Just give each other a kiss! lol

quick! get a lottery ticket - your boat might just have sailed into port.

what a great day you have had

Very cool!!! You deserve it too. I had a similar experience the other day. We were having issue at work which are very stressful and I had my car in for a service and got a call to say it needed some extra stuff done $$$. I finially got home from work... not in the greatest mood, when I found out someone had brought my bins in. (For those who don't know, I have just moved into a unit and have lovely neighbours). Just the thought that someone was sweet enought to think to bring my bins in is so nice. hmmmm, brought a tear to my eye after the day I had.

There are, The sad thing is we are a dying breed ....

 

I always get the funny looks When I try to help!( you know the kind where they are unsure if you are really going to help or MUG them)

that is awesome they thought of you
