I blacked out today when I was at Cafe Homemade in Barry Road, everybody was so kind, the waitress (thank you for the biscuit and tlc), the customers, and especially the man called Stephen who helped me across to the garage in such a wonderfully gentlemanly fashion (hope your coffee didn't get too cold)... also a big thank you to the paramedic who (from what I can remember) took hold of the situation in a really professional way), I am indebted to you. I am OK. My friend Sas was totally wonderful and got me the the doctors... I am at home resting now and sure I will soon bounce back...


I always suspected the world was full of wonderful people and now I know it is...


thank you for your spontaneous acts of kindness!!!

Cycling to work on a cold morning the other week I stopped at the junction of East Dulwich Road and Oakhurst Grove to don my ear muffs. I'd taken off my gloves for this and one on them dropped on to the road on the other side of my bike. Almost before I could react, a passing cyclist had stopped and handed it back to me. Truly spontaneous and simply kind. Maybe it's a code of cycling thing but I appreciated it.

I just got back from Sainsburys having walked there and stupidly buying lots of heavy items ( potatoes, bottled water x 4, tonic water x 3, vegetables and on and on and on) over 8 full bags. Walking back, I thought I was going to have to leave the water in the little parkway path back into Grove Vale, when a gentlemen said " come on now, you can't carry all that stuff, give me some bags". A true gentlemen and a random act of kindness I am so grateful for. As we got to Blackbird bakery, he showed me his badge, he was a security man just going off shift from Sainsburys.

So to you Ronald, I say THANK YOU!

I had a nasty cycling accident a couple of months ago- cracked rib and banged head, and a lovely girl insisted on staying with me and comforting me until my boyfriend came to the rescue. It's nice to know there are lots of lovely people out there :-)

Friend's baby puked on my trousers when we were having coffee so I hastily popped into Primark to pick up cheap leggings to wear on way home. Said our goodbyes, walked to Peckham Rye station, encountering funny looks along the way I might add but thought no more of it.


Boarded train then a few minutes later, a woman walks through empty carriage to where I'm sitting and sidles up to me. I thought 'oh here we go, she's going to ask for money'... so prepared myself for a sob story.


"I spotted you from further up the platform, saw you boarding this carriage", she said. "Thought you should know your leggings are so see-thru that I could make out the pattern on your knickers". Thank you, kind stranger.

I posted this somewhere else on the forum at the time, but a few weeks back a complete stranger stopped to help put a large dresser into a car it barely fitted into.


If he hadn't supervised I'm not sure we would have ever succeeded in getting it in ......


Really kind.

During the last cold snap, my 96 year old friend's halogen fire died on her leaving her with only an electric radiator which really wasn't warm enough as she lives on the top floor of an Edwardian house with single glazing and no central heating. In desperation, I put a post on the forum to see if anyone had one we could buy because it was late in the day and I was worried about how she'd manage. A forum user got in touch to say she had one, arranged to drive it over although it was already quite late in the evening, and when I met her outside my friend's address, said she could have it for free. It was a really lovely act of kindness and I was immensely relieved to know my friend was set up with a decent source of warmth for the following morning which did indeed turn out to be a very cold one.

      Recommendation: Spoiltdog aka Andy

      By Ms P · Posted

      I recently hired Andy to paint the newly plastered walls in my front room, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the start, he offered a fair and reasonable price for the work, and his professionalism really stood out. Andy has a wealth of experience and was happy to share suggestions about colour choices and paint types, which made the decision-making process much easier. He completed the work within the agreed timescale, and I am very happy with the finish.  What impressed me most is that Andy went above and beyond what I initially asked. He not only painted the room beautifully but also helped with extra tasks such as putting up the wall bracket, curtain poles, and curtains, and even gave me a hand moving furniture between rooms. That level of support is rare and very much appreciated. If you’re looking for a painter and decorator who is reliable, trustworthy, reasonably priced, experienced, and willing to go the extra mile to help, I would highly recommend Andy.

      JP Plastering - John McCann - Recommended Plasterer

      By Ms P · Posted

      John recently skimmed the walls in our front room lounge, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the result. From start to finish, he was professional, punctual, and easy to work with.   He arrived on time each day and kept me updated on progress, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The quality of his plastering is smooth, even, and ready to paint with minimal prep. He takes real pride in his work.   John was also very tidy, laying down protective sheets and cleaning up thoroughly after the job was done. It’s clear he respects his clients’ homes, which I really appreciated.   On top of that, he’s friendly, approachable, and trustworthy someone you feel comfortable having in your home. His pricing was fair and transparent, with no unexpected costs.   Highly recommended if you're looking for a skilled and reliable plasterer. I’ll definitely be using him again for any future work.
