As it is only a small thing I will open this up to all ladies outside the UK too. I will run this competition for 1 week, that will take us past actual mothers day but it gives me a bit of time to get it prepared. If you have never done a random act of kindness, try and make this your month do try one. Leave a random book somewhere, hold open a door for someone, even a smile at a stranger, all small acts can be massive to the receiver, lets share some love people <3 - Have a great day x.

ReplyDeleteNope never but i'm always doign what i can for others. Usually getting the old ladies shopping for them down the street.
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely, thanks for sharing <3
ReplyDeleteMy nephew has just moved up to Durham from London and couldn't believe how kind everyone was. Lots of people have donated furniture and are helping him in his new home. He says he is overwhelmed by their generosity.
ReplyDeleteLast year I won a bunch of Alton Towers tickets. At the last minute one family couldn't come with us. So once we were there I gave the spare tickets to a family in the queue who were sorting out coupons trying to work out which the cheapest would be. All their faces lit up when I gave them the tickets, then I could see a little suspicion in their eyes scarcely believing it to be true. I saw them again once we had all gone through the turnstiles. The mother just rushed up to me and gave me the most enormous hug. It was the best feeling in the world. I now often do random acts of kindness. It feels so good. I highly recommend it!
ReplyDeleteMy 9 year old was in the bathroom for about 20 minutes and I heard a lot of water running. I shouted up to ask what she was doing and she had decided to surprise me by cleaning all the bathroom. She did a really good job as well with the sink and bath

Not really, but my mum does one daily :))
ReplyDeleteI have a neighbour I help out from time to time.
ReplyDeleteI have carried out random acts of kindness in the past, it is good to be nice to someone, my friend is very good to me and my kids, she surprised us with a holiday, that was lovely x
ReplyDeleteI buy muffins or cookies and take them in to share at work, a little sweet treat cheers everyone up. I also used to volunteer in a charity shop
ReplyDeleteI've given away things before randomly.. because it's nice to get something when someone is nice to you, it's good to be nice back.

ReplyDeleteI haven't but I'd love to do something kind for someone in need
ReplyDeleteive helped out as a volunteer at the cats protection league
ReplyDeleteGot a suprise ticket to see Elvis tribute, try to keep smiling
ReplyDeleteI'm a big believer that the little things count - letting someone go first in a queue, smiling at a stranger......I always hope that the little things make peoples day a little bit nicer x
ReplyDeleteI helped out a mum struggling at the supermarket, she was £4 short for her shopping bill and was goingt to put stuff back but I paid for the extra items :)
ReplyDeleteThe other day I saw a scruffy young lad run after an old lady to give her back her purse that she'd left at the checkout. How kind and it proves you should never judge a book by it's cover!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was at uni I was travelling home for the summer. The man in front had only enough cash to pay for his ticket under the old price. To save him getting fined I paid the remainder. EJ Dunn

ReplyDeleteI try to be a nice person! I helped an elderly lady with her shopping the other day and am just generally polite!

ReplyDeleteI like to hide chocolates in my workmate's pigeon holes! They haven't figured me out yet shh!
ReplyDeleteI was once lost in prague on holiday and forgot the name of my hotel, I walked all night but was still lost, couldn't find anyone who spoke english and was completely exhausted and scared so I began to weep silently. The a woman noticed my tears and approached me and to my relief she spoke english, she had just finished a work shift as a nurse but despite this she took me into her home and went through the prague phone book with me till i recognised the name of my hotel, she then walked with me for nearly an hour all the way to my hotel. She saved me that day and I will never forget her kindness :)
ReplyDeleteI regularly donate foods bank
ReplyDeletei ran after a lady who left £20 at the self service checkouts, she was very grateful
ReplyDeleteI like to help where I can but don't think it's ever been that random. I did give a puppet I'd made to a severely disabled young lad once just because
ReplyDeleteBe there for others and they will be there for you
ReplyDeleteI paid for a young lad's bus fair home the other week - we'd been at the cinema and were getting the bus home - he only looked about 12 and he couldnt find his bus ticket - the driver refused to let him on so I paid for him he was super grateful bless him
ReplyDeleteI started fostering children, and in June I have been doing it for a year, and hopefully many more. Nice to give back. Reading through the comments there is a lot of kind people :)
ReplyDeleteI've just moved house and a friend gave me a shed from their new house that was too small for them!
ReplyDeleteMy neighbour gave me a brand new suitcase once because he didn't like the colour
ReplyDeleteKay panayi
Just this week a friend sent me a beautiful hand made card featuring my favourite thing of all - TEA!
ReplyDeleteI just try and help out as and when I can, little things like holding a door open or helping someone struggling with a pushchair, sadly some people these days don't want the help!
ReplyDeleteIve done world book night where you give out free books and leave them for people to find and read ie park bench etc, which was fun.
ReplyDeleteOur new neighbours dropped in a bottle of wine to say hello when we moved recently!
ReplyDeleteLove it when someone gives you their bus or train ticket for the day once theyve used it so you don't have to pay! Always try and do the same myself. Jemma x
ReplyDeleteA stranger chased after me abroad, for a few blocks, after I asked him directions to the beach .. just to tell me that the sea had man o war jelly fish .. and to use the free open air pool instead.
ReplyDeleteI haven't ever been the recipient of a random act of kindness, but we once pooled our money together at work for a colleague who was a victim of domestic abuse, she finally got the courage up to leave her abuser and had nothing, we raised enough money to help her buy a cooker for her new flat.
ReplyDeleteI like ducks. A friend sent me a lovely little duck through the post and it took me ages to work out who sent it.

I was in a cafe and the gentleman in front of me was a veteran with all his medals so I paid for his pot of tea and tea cake, he said thank you and I said quite rightly that it was me that should be thanking him, he looked so appreciative, I was choked by his obvious pleasure from such a small little token
ReplyDeleteWe were having an evening walk with our 2 year old and a couple coming the other way gave us a chef cuddly toy that they'd just received at the local carvery :-)
ReplyDeleteMy elderly neighbour who is always willing to feed our cats when we are away
ReplyDeleteI've given out random acts of kindness yes, I've sent money anonymously to people I know who are struggling. never received anything that I know of tho!
ReplyDeleteAt work I did once take a little old ladies shopping home for her in my car to her house when she couldnt get what she needed due to her husband being ill and he was always the driver.
ReplyDeleteAnother mum complimented that my son was a brilliant sharer (he is 3) I thought that was a nice thing to say that she didn't have to, it made me feel like I'm bringing him up well.
ReplyDeleteI haven't myself that i remember, but I often do random acts of kindness for others such as bringing in gifts for people at work and helping people out, picking up rubbish etc.
ReplyDeleteyes i look after my grandson 2 days every week for my daughter whilst she goes to work
ReplyDeleteI love it if I go to the shop and I only have one or two things and someone with a huge trolley full asks me if I want to go in front of them. It saves me soo much time. Thanks trolly people :)
ReplyDeleteYyes and it sounds silly, but it turns out I knew our local window cleaner, well, through social media, and he offered to do our windows next month for free, just because :)
ReplyDeleteI was walking home from work last week and an old man was standing near his mobility scooter, a huge wooden sign had blown over across the path so he was stuck and couldn't get past. Kirsty to the rescue, i ran over picked up the sign and threw it into the bushes (it was very heavy) helped the man back onto his scooter and i was on my way. Its great to help
ReplyDeleteWhen my mother died, I was so busy looking after my distraught dad. They had known each other since the ages of 6 and 8, so you can imagine how traumatic her sudden death was. I did everything and he had lots of cards and letters. One woman friend of his, took me on one side and said "no one thinks of the daughter, who has to cope with everything, but I'm thinking of you". I'll never forget her words.
ReplyDeleteHelped the same lady on 2 random occasions carry her shopping back to her car as she was struggling x
ReplyDeletei try to whenever I can.
ReplyDeleteI always try to be kind, today I picked up a little girl who couldn't get to the dancing class dress rehearsal because her mum was working
ReplyDeleteI won a National trust pass and gave it to a friend who was retiring so her and her husband could spend their time together visting stately homes -their favourite hobby (Kim Styles)
