Toffeapple: Kizzy - thanks for the post - I have ordered the cards, but sometimes I agree it is better not to bring attention to myself and just do it! Parking vouchers not used are a good way to pay it forward and so easy to do. Giving away old TVs is too - if only someone would take them! Loved your story about the coffee - brought tears to my eyes - such a simple thing, but such a lovely thing to do. (yes...I am a big sook)

Good stuff toffee !! free postage for you too....wine
Now dont forget to share your act of kindness here ....we can inspire others wine

Kizzy I take it there is no copyright on this. couldn't access the page for these cards so thought I might get some printed myself. Just might have to change the writing.

Going to get my cards printed tomorrow Kizzy.

it is people like you that will help start a change I hope & change the thing like on racial issues.

One thing I know from security is people will not even see those who are at the lowest rung like glue sniffers or drunks.

yeah just with your idea they are those that probably need the most just like the guy in the movie "pay it forward" the kid befriended.

those are the people most walk past everyday & never see them.

they only see them when they get in their face & it was left to us or the police to remove them. we tried to leave them with some dignity as that is all they have left when they get that far down.

one glue sniffer when not on it (actually a few when i come to think of it) remember it & are always grateful.

they are the ones I think need your scheme the most. in the movie it was the boys grandmother as well that fitted that.

hard when they smell of glue or no wash for weeks, but real good feeling.

one thing that peeves me in this country is with food regulations all the food now left over they can not give to homeless or Sally's to hand out. these are people eating out of rubbish bins. I think it will take a bit to make them ill.

too healthy could do it though. It did to iraqis living on dump in Baghdad.

Hi Kizzy wave
Well I recieved my cards and used the first one today. I took a bunch of roses over to an aged friend of my sisters.And when I got there it just so happens he had just arrived home from a stint in hospital.And it was the 1 year anniversary of his mothers death.He was her carer.So I couldnt have picked a better time and person to get started...
It was great
hug

I got some too. They were sent super fast! I can't believe how quick I got them.

I have used one card but my daughter has made her own and they looked gorgeous and she is doing random things herself too.

It's a great idea.. I just hope it's something that continues without using the cards for many many many years.
