Great news folks. We have had the Twitter account reinstated with an apology from Twitter explaining that we were suspended by mistake due to an influx of spam and our account became caught up in the suspended accounts.
Phew, thank heavens its all sorted and we are now back on track at /NWSupportGroup
A huge thanks goes out to all of these profiles who went out of their way to help us regain our profile, gave us advice, retweeted our plight and once reinstated they gave us full support telling all other Tweeple that we are back.
Plus so many other people helped with retweets too. The above really did help a great deal though especially Great Biz and Duchess PR.
......
Another MASSIVE thanks goes to two ladies who work at Lush Spa in Liverpool (Whitechapel Street). @lushliverpool Janet dealt with me whilst Nicola dealt with my daughter. Janet gave me a lovely hand massage and was really friendly giving out excellent product advice. Nicola gave my daughter great help, advice on products plus lots of samples for her to try. My daughter is a Lush addict so bought a ton of stuff too.
I bought a few items and Janet put in a lovely face mask as a free sample (full size too) for me to try. I was chuffed and couldnt wait to have a sniff of it so opened my bag along the street only to find placed in my bag...
Janet had been explaining to me that Greenspun make the scarves from recycled plastic bottles and i was amazed at how soft the scarves were. Very silky and such great colours too. We arrived at this topic because i was telling Janet about a necklace that id made from recycling a Tescos plastic flavoured water bottle worked with clear Swarovski crystals. I shall take a photo of this again and add it on here when i get a moment.
I just loved the bright colours of this scarf and they co-ordinated with the bright jeans that i was wearing today. So it was the best surprise to find that she had slipped the scarf into my bag of purchases.
Nicola had done the same thing for my daughter. She had placed (secretly) into her bag a HUGE pot of 'mask of magnaminty' face mask.
These acts of kindness are part of the Lush philosophy of 'Pass it Forward'.
The aim is that they add a little something extra in your purchases to make us happier and this encourages others to do just the same, being kind and/or helpful, just because you can.
What a lovely philosophy.
So Janet and Nicola, thank you both and when my daughter is next over from the Isle of Man we shall be back in your store to see you and stock up again.
I gave Janet my email address so hopefully she will keep in touch and i will then know the days she is working.
The world is full of wonderful people and it gives me great pleasure to mention some of those that ive encountered just this last week.
Id love to hear from anybody else who has been the recipient of random acts of kindness.

Thanks for the mention! :)
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough I do have a story about random acts of kindness!
Many years ago, my Dad & I were in Rome at night walking home to our Apartment when we noticed a man following us.
Stupidly, to get rid of him, we peeled off down a narrow side street, only to find that he followed us down there - of course.
We were pretty panicked and sure we were about to be attacked when suddenly a door flung open and a teeny tiny old man pulled us into his hallway, and bolted his door behind us.
Later, over olives, bread and wine, he explained that he had seen the man following us from his upstairs window - he was probably right. He even drove us back to our apartment a while later.
Thank the Lord for that kind stranger - he might have just saved our wallets, or he might have saved our lives!
I do think people are getting more wary of strangers (perhaps with good cause) but I worry we're missing out on the real goodness in people!
