    Today I bought the new Healthy magazine from Holland and Barrett and mentioned that I had missed the last one so the cashier gave me one for free which was behind the counter.
    Here dead we lie because we did not choose
    To live and shame the land from which we sprung.
    Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose,
    But young men think it is,
    And we were young.

    Today I was given a cucumber and some tomatoes from Dad's garden, a pineapple, 2 nectarines, half a watermelon and 4 cadbury button icecreams and a choc mousse by my mum - who was going to throw the lot out!

    Last week mum gave me two packs of smoked salmon slices that have been in the freezer since January and a large bag of frozen cocktail sausages. In return I gave my Dad a lift to and from the river where he took DS fishing, and took mum to supermarket (which I do every week).

    My mum, one Christmas, got out several Bags for Life at the checkout in Waitrose The SA noticed that she didn't have the latest Christmas one, so she gave it to her free "to add to her collection" :D

    It doesn't cost a lot to keep a customer happy :D

    while at work last week my manager was serving a lovely lady at the till while I was looking up something on the computer. the customer asked me if i was going abroad, I said no, but I was going away for a few days at the end of the month and she gave me a number 7 travel bag with minis in it!

    I was shocked at her kindness! She said she'd been given two and was gonig to give one to the first woman she saw, which just happened to be me. I was so touched at her kindness:)
