    Yes Babyshoes, I totally agree with you. I had the money, it was 'just' savings. I don't have a lot of money, but I work full time and earn a decent salary, and I try to save when I can. Maybe he was lucky, when he knocked on my door I had what he wanted and was able to give it.

    I am sooo looking forward to a week on my Greek Island now, no teenage boys, no nothing apart from my books and the odd glass of white wine. OK, maybe LOTS of white wine :-) and I will raise a glass to my neighbour, who has managed to pay back his debt which was obviously bothering him!

    at the end of the day, in the world we are in now, he came and paid it back! He thought of the money he owed instead of anything else and paid it!!! Well done him, but well done you, because you have a good heart and helped him out and you have made me smile and think that people aren't all that bad xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    The feeling i got when i confirmed my place studying criminology at Exeter Uni was brilliant!!!!!

    Thank you, everyone who thought this was a lovely story, same as I did. I bet you would all have helped out too, if you could. There's too much sadness, bitterness and negativity in the world, let's celebrate it when something good happens!

    It must be Karma, he needed £600 and you had exactly that amount, and when he paid you back £400 that was the exact amount you needed.

    Brilliant

    no don't be scared. Karma works both ways. Look at how things worked out for you.

    ps, if you do the lottery don't forget me...
