The Christmas Glow

One of my neighbours rang me yesterday, couldn`t get her sky box to work, she had turned it all off and back on again, suggested she turned it off leave it 30 mins, clean the card, try again, still no luck.
She rang sky, she has full package with them and pays insurance cover to get a new box if necessary, 9th January before they could call, so I popped to another neighbour who has a "friend" who does jobs for them and works for sky, her husband wasn`t in and he had "Boos" number, left it with her.
About an hour later she rang me back to say Jerry and Boo had been down, confirmed box knackered, Boo then went to his home got a sky box from his van, set it up for her, also repaired bedroom connection which wasn`t working, she can`t get her extras but everything else, when they come to repair/replace her box in Jan don`t let them take it away, a loaner from an anonymous scource, repack it and drop it back to Jerry so Boo can collect and put back into his stock.
They would not accept anything from her, they were glad to help, saved her from a miserable Christmas, there are still some kind people out there.

 

Well done

Yep, but they can be hard to find, i've helped alot of people and been kicked in the teeth many times not even a simple thank you with some folk so now i look after Miss Jiff and Me, but sometimes we do help if it's right, just last Tuesday they was a chap shopping but he had so much shopping it wouldn't all fit on the belt and he couldn't pack and unload at the same time so we unloaded his cart while he packed and he was happy and said thankyou

So, if we all do are bits it will make the world a better place, do something nice and help people just helping don't cost much, lets spread the word

 

@pamsdish - how heart warming to read your post. So pleased your friend was able to enjoy the kindness of others (and her sky box!).

My one and only encounter with this was almost two years ago when I was walking Ozzy in the village. I saw the posy, read the card and ... left it there for someone else to enjoy. What a wonderful thing to do! Well done Mrs Shiney for thinking outside the box on where to place them

 

A few days before Xmas we was presented with this small gift from our neighbours and a Christmas card to go with it.Mr Kandy put it in the freezer before I had a chance to take a photo of it

Today he has got it out of the freezer to defrost it then he will cook it slowly under my instructions to have with some more turkey that he wants on New Year’s Day

So if you want nice neighbours living next to you then choose us

 

Aww @Kandy !!! What a kind and thoughtful thing for your neighbours to do for you

(Personally, I would have removed the "Half Price" ticket )

Enjoy that lovely roast beef and turkey New Year's Day meal

 

“M” From what we can make out this joint was bought for them to consume but they ran out of time to cook it before they set off to visit relatives up North for Christmas but why they couldn’t pop it into the freezer is beyond me but that’s the youngsters for you

We normally have Topside and don’t have Silverside that often but we aren’t complaining and it is quiet a good sized joint but then there are are four of them to feed and it was a good value for half price

As hubby wants turkey again for NY day we are going to cook this joint slowly so will fall apart when the temporary cook cuts it up

PS,I don’t know what is going on but can never get your user name to highlight in blue when I write @“M”
