The nicest thing someone's ever done for meIn amongst all the tales of bitterness and poo, we occasionally get fluffy stories that bring a small tear to our internet-jaded eyes.
In celebration of this, what is the nicest thing someone's done for you? Whether you thoroughly deserved it or it came out of the blue, tell us of heartwarming, selfless acts by others.
Failing that, what nice things have you done for other people, whether they liked it or not?

one thousand pounds!About ten years back, we were seriously skint. I'd beeen made redundant twice in the same year. Bringing up a family on government handouts isn't meant to be cushy, but we were being badly underpaid by housing benefit and we couldn't afford to move. We didn't advertise this, but it was obvious to all that we were pretty badly off.
Then one night someone stuck an anonymous bankers cheque for £1000 through our door.
We just couldn't believe it. Not knowing where it had come from meant we had no-one to feel we owed a favour, and knowing it was a bankers draft meant it was just sitting in the bank waiting for us. It seriously bailed us out in so many ways.
I'd love to think I'd be in a position to do the same for someone some day.
