Cheers, thank you.

Best result ever. But then we do put in a bit of effort as you can see.

Actually I'm feelin a bit guilty tonight. Just recently I seem to have become a bit community spirited. Taken plenty of stuff to the foodbank and have been donating stuff to charity shops. Despite me usually not giving to people who sit begging,I've both given cash and bough bags of chips to people begging........

...but tonight a lady i'd not seen before was outside the kebab shop and wanted money. I shook my head and walked inside. Now I've since learned of my good fortune today and can see the genuine pained look on her face in my mind (most beggars really dont look desperate but she did).

That's not sitting well with me tonight to be honest. She was not there when we left the kebab shop and I'm lying in my warm bed, with a full stomach, a galss of wine by my side and I'm hoping she's ok.

Feeling a bit sh*tty to be honest.

Homelessness is such a sad state to be in and there but for the grace of god...... but that look that you can see in your mind is only going to become more exaggerated the longer you dwell on it:( Keep an eye out on your next expedition and maybe you will catch her again


A glass of Albali??

Big hugs FK, I know you have a huge heart.

As a rule, I don't give money but I will happily give food, clothes or anything else. I used to work in Cental London, just off Soho Square. Every day I passed man begging for help. I gave him my sandwiches one day and he threw them back at me in disgust. He didn't want food, he wanted money? I really do have to queston the motives of some people. I hasten to add that not everyone is like this but it did not sit well with me for a long time.

FK, ask yourself why were they asking for money, not food?

Very true and my last GF used to be very soft hearted and I told her the way to test them was to give them something instead of money and see how they reacted.

She tried this on two local beggars who she wanted to help. she bought a sarnie, a bag of crisps and a can of coke for each of them. One was very appreciative and she watched froma distance and he ate it all. The other one cussed at her and left it by his side and didn't touch it. She appreciated what I meant after that and only helped those who seemed to need help.

Tonight though was different. If eyes are a window into someones soul then tonight I looked into a very dark place and turned my back...............not happy with myself for that.

Right...a couple of tunes then sleep or I'll bat myself up all night.

Thanks for listening to me ramble. Nite all. xx

Hun, I already know you have a heart of gold, lots of people have told me of how you have helped them. It is hard to judge who really needs help and I am sure this is an good example. I am sure you will be watching out for her and if the opportunity arrises you will help. Don't regret not helping her sooner just make a mental note and help when you feel the time is right xx

hey there but the grace of god,if you are religious:)

Kindness can be demonstrated without the need for a religious belief (I am catholic btw, however, my best friend is Muslim). I don't think you have to follow a religion to show kindness to another.
