***BLONDES DO A GOOD DEED THREAD***

[BorntoBubble]

Another good one that my dad taught me. He doesn't have many good ideas so I liked this one.

When shopping in  tesco/sainsburys etc and they give you the ticket that say you have spent 2p more by shopping in tesco today so here is 2p voucher. Thanks but no thanks, anyway.

Instead of binning it/ putting it in my wallet and forgetting about it it's nice to give it to the person behind you in the queue.

Obviously I still do this when its £2 etc! I'm not that much of a nit.

It also helps if the person behind is a hot girl.

I did have one time though when it said like £2.75, so true to my morals I gave it to the person behind, and then I remembered I was getting a drink from the cigarette counter and was really gutted I had to break a £20 rather than using the voucher I had given away just seconds before.

I have a free day today, am in Nottingham. Would like to spontaneously spend the rest of the day doing something good, charity volunteering or anything. Where should I go? What should I do? Online seems to just show long term opportunities.

I used to do a similar thing at Boots - they always seem to give out vouchers for No7 makeup with the receipt so I'll give it to the nearest cute teenage girl as they love makeup.

I intend to start doing it again as soon as that court order expires.

Nice one Alex.

I've no idea off the top of my head. Maybe some of the Notts Blondes can provide some suggestions.

My car could do with a clean if you're offering......?

Seriously though try Alex Ottewell. She does loads of stuff with Emmanuel House the homeless people place in Nottingham. Pretty sure she'd be able to put you in touch with someone.

Good idea Matt, just messaged her.

I found a letter today about 6 foot from the letter box, it had obviously been dropped.

I posted it.

Little things.

Hope you managed to find something to do in Nottingham.

One of the issues about voluntary work these days is the need for some form of vetting process. I'm still in the approval process at Shaw Trust. Because their 'clients' are vulnerable adults I have to be DBS checked to make sure I have no inappropriate history with the police and I had to provide two referees. Not much scope for spontaneity there.

I was the beneficiary of an act of kindness last week though. nothing that cost the giver, but it saved me £15 on my shopping. I will pay that on to someone and hope that they in turn pay it on again.
