This is a question Random Acts of Kindness

Crackhouseceilidhband asks: Has anyone ever been nice to you, out of the blue, for no reason? Have you ever helped an old lady across the road, even if she didn't want to? Make me believe that the world is a better place than the media and experience suggest

Washing Machine
Those of you who either follow my occasional postings on here or, heaven forbid, know me in real life will know that my live/marriage(s) etc have their ups and downs. I shan't bore you with the details as they are not relevant here.

18 monts ago having moved out of my family home I was moving from a caravan into a tiny house. I had nothing. My first night in my new house I sat on a camping chair eating a lasagne out of it's plastic tray on a towel on my knee. I had no plates, a plastic fork, and the camping chair.

A few weeks later my GOOD friends have supplied me with the basics, so i had something sembling a house. I needed a washing machine. I posted on my facebook and twitter that I needed one - did anyone have one that they were throwing out?

Gary sent me a message asking me for my address. Now I've known Gary for years, since I was his manager. I've helped him through a few scrapes in time, but didn't expect what was coming.

He wanted my address so he could go in to comet and buy me a washer.

I didn't realise how much I'd helped him in the past, and he, without actually telling me before he did it so I could stop him, just bought me a washer.

One of the most touching things anyone has ever done for me

Cheers bud:)
