    If only there were more people in the world like this.......
    The following is from the RIP Karina Menzies facebook page regarding the hit and runs in Cardiff.

    'Amidst all the carnage and the chaos that ripped through Cardiff Last Friday....one little story that restores your faith in human kindness. In the early evening, a group of students arrived at the Accident and Emergency department at the Heath Hospital.....they were weighed down with bags of food and drink. Having seen the events unfold on telly.......they had gone to the shops , and with their own money had bought enough food to feed a small army. They had figured that the people involved would be too busy to stop.....so they had brought something for them to eat. It was for the doctors, nurses, paramedics, family relatives, police, fire and rescue.......it was for everyone. A small act of spontaneous kindness by a group of students who "Just wanted to do something to help" . Having delivered the food , they hung around "In case you needed blood donations". It was a bad day in Cardiff last Friday.......but little things like this are so very important......They provide hope in the middle of all the despair......There are a great many good people out there......but it seems we only get to hear about the bad........which is why this simple story needs to be shared.'

    Hi,

    I haven't posted here before because I haven't had anything to contribute but I wanted to say hello quickly and post a small deal that I have found.

    If you go to superdrug.com (sorry I can't post links as I'm new) there are 3 for 2 on christmas gifts and many of the ones that aren't branded (eg. not lynx or nivea) go in the basket at prices much lower to those listed. I just brought a £19.99 make up set, went into basket at £9.99 plus 3 for 2.

    Also if you spend more than 30 there is a 15% off code on the homepage and its free delivery!

    The cheapest item is sweet snuggles hand cream which is going into the basket at 65p, with the three for 2 they would work out at 43p each for 50ml hand cream.

    Also if you have a loyalty card, you seem to be getting the points for the full price rather than the price it is going in your basket as!

    Might be good for stockings or hampers?

    hth someone!

    Thanks got some make up stuff remember topcashback or quidco too :T

    OK, that just brought a rather large tear to my eye
    What an amazing, selfless thing to do.

    Thanks for this! I have a budget for certain people like nieces and nephews but was able to buy items worth £19.99 for £9.99 so that's them sorted for Christmas :j

    Plus you get cashback from TCB.
