Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

My happy thought one of my sister in law's has just saved me a lot of money. I have been using total dailies 1 contact lenses and she asked how much I was paying for my lenses, I said £45.00 a month she very nearly fell off her seat when I told her this so she told me how much she was paying and where she went so needless to say I went their last week and after a week of wearing ACUVUE OASYS fortnightly I really cannot fault them. I went back today and have just signed up for them via DD that way they get delivered right to my door and total hassle free plus at £32.49 every three months that is a saving of over £100. Okay they are not dailies but at the saving I am making I think I can live with that :)

I think I owe my sis-in-law a very nice bottle of wine :)

Because the garage knocked £10 off my bill after learning that I was ex-military, I decided to put it into a collection box for the Change Step charity that helps many ex-military.

Did my good deed for the day today, was working when 2 young girls (like no more than 6 or 7 years old) came up to me and said they had lost their mum. I walked them down to where they had last seen her and she was there looking for them. Never seen such relief on a mum's face. She was really grateful.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well done, ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

You should be proud of yourself Mark as there are not many who would do that nowadays.:tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Excellent Mark and speaking as Mum you did the right thing, the trouble nowadays is that many people a fearful to go anywhere near young children sadly, like you Mark I will always go to a child's aid.

Again well done to you Sir.

've done this when I was with my niece, I got her to hold the young girls hand a in this day a man has to be careful.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Will admit I did hesitate for a few seconds but felt it was the right thing to do, plus there was a heavy crowd in the clothing section so it's not as though I could have done anything without a large number of witnesses.

It feels wrong to write this in a happy thought thread but last night a Marie Curie Nurse stayed with my Mum from 9:45 to 7am this morning to allow my Dad to get a full nights sleep. It has been arranged that this will be done three times per week, I'm pleased that my Dad it is getting help and getting a good nights sleep as I was worried that he might not be able to rest but he said today that he was quite surprised that he went out like a light and got up at 6:30 he said this made a huge difference knowing that his wife is getting cared for by professionals. My sister and I have been going over and staying one night a week between us but our Dad was up and down like a yo yo checking on our Mum, I'm just glad that he is getting some rest & managing to get some sleep. My Dad is right these people are the professionals and truly worth their weight in gold imo.

Woke up this morning to a clear blue sky, the sound of helicopters and the sight of elite SBS troops doing helicopter parachute training overhead. We've also been lucky enough to see some of their seaborne activities from the beach. Osem jnr#2 was fascinated by all the activity. :)

Yes they are wonderful and it's great that the service is there for you. Mrs Osem volunteers for a local hospice a few hours a week and she'd be the first to sing the praises of those who choose to devote themselves to such a worthy cause whether paid or not. There are plenty of caring people about and frankly we don't hear enough about them. :clap:
