BOUQUETS to Raetains for Curtains for taking care of my drapes when material was faulty.
MD, Belmont
BOUQUETS to a kind gentleman who came to the aid of my elderly mother after she tripped and fell on a footpath outside her Hamlyn Heights home on 30 September. His kindness and compassion was greatly appreciated.
Very Grateful Daughter, Hamlyn Heights
BOUQUETS to a young woman who was behind me in a queue at a garden shop and obligingly offered to help me take my heavy load to my car. Such kindness made me so grateful. It was the first offer of its kind to me in 15 years.
Annie, Torquay
BUCKETS to a supermarket staff member for failing to pay attention and giving me credit for Optus instead of Telstra despite my clear request. Policy meant I couldn’t get my money back. I’m on Newstart, so every cent counts. If you can’t do your job right, give it to me.
Self-Serve From Now On, Herne Hill
BOUQUETS to Wizard Electronics’ Clint for helping me with a TV issue over the phone without any mention of money. He was so pleasant and helpful and I was so grateful. I wish there were more like him.
Made My Day, North Shore
BOUQUETS to Aussie Bellarine’s Ruth and Stacey for showing us how to save money on our home loan refinancing and to do what others couldn’t. To top it all off I was given a give of my favourite Aesop products.
Lisa, Ocean Grove
BUCKETS to the staff of a restaurant where my son and I waited patiently to be seated on a Tuesday night when the venue was full. We were not acknowledged. A second family arrived and were immediately received. We were obviously the wrong colour. I will never return.
Just Another Human Being, Newtown
BUCKETS to Flower Power (Buckets & Bouquets, 3 October). Your neighbour had every right to be angry about your kids taking flowers. Some people take pride in their gardens and nurture them for their own delight, not for the casual holiday vandalism of ill-disciplined little brats next door.
Gardener, Highton
BUCKETS to the powers that be for six months of daylight savings. Four months is quite enough when you’re a shift worker. Buckets also to Flower Power, who can’t even respect other people’s property. What an example for Flower Power’s kids.
Julie, Norlane
