Act 89: Gave Tom a Lift to School.

Today, as I was driving myself into college, I also offered Tom, my little brother, a lift to and from school. This means he could have an extra half hour in bed, and that he got home slightly earlier than he would have if he got the bus.

Act 88: Supported SlutWalk.

It seems that our society tries to teach women to "not get raped" or to "not dress provocatively" despite the way they dress just being their own way of displaying their personality. If a woman is proud of her body and wants to wear a short skirt and feel good about herself on a night out, why shouldn't she?

In reality, shouldn't we be teaching men to "not rape" and to accept that just because a women has made an effort to look good, doesn't mean she is "leading him on."

This is a subject that makes me incredibly angry, and is one that I could rant about for paragraphs, so I will stop myself here and just refer you to the SlutWalk website before I feel the urge to punch the nearest male in the testes.

Act 87: Day on Yahoo Answers.

Today, Immy and I spent the majority of our time answering questions on Yahoo Answers. And we didn't even post stupid answers, we genuinely tried to be helpful!

Most of the time...

Act 86: Gave a Gift.

Today, I bought a friend a chocolate advent calendar because they didn't have one and I knew they wouldn't get themselves one. And I believe that everyone should have an advent calendar to munch their way through December.

Act 85: Compliment Strangers.

Today, Immy and I spent the majority of the day complimenting people. This was another one of those acts that involved some questionable looks and us feeling somewhat creepy by the end of the day.

But, I can only hope we made at least someone feel better!

Act 84: Didn't Complain. Not Once.

Today, I didn't complain. Even though I had every reason to, I didn't complain once.

Act 83: Made Cakes for Glee.

Today, Immy made cakes for her Glee Club. She was going to take a picture of the cakes for me, but by the time she remembered to, they were all gone.

And I didn't even get one. This isn't on.

Act 82: Waved Off a Bus.

Today, I walked down to the bus depot at the bottom of the village and waved off my Rotary Club men that were off on some exotic adventure down to Norwich or somewhere like that.

I hope they had a good journey!

Act 81: Held Open the Door.

Today, I held open the door. I held open every door. But, I wasn't just holding them open to let the cold in, I was holding them for people.

It seems these simple gestures are often missed out of people's busy lives, but they still appreciate it.

Act 80: Thank a Teacher.

Today, Immy and I thanked our teachers. It seems that when you get into college, teachers are surprisingly more like real people and treat you like adults, so it's a lot easier to get on with them.

And some of them are just fantastic.

Act 79: Helped Around the House.

Recently, it's occurred to me that I don't do very much to help my parents with housework. So, today I washed up, hoovered and helped cook dinner. And I've made the decision to continue being helpful for my family.

Act 78: Supported Equal Marital Rights.

A lot of people think that a civil partnership and a marriage is the same thing.

When two people of the opposite sex fall in love and decide to get married, they are entered into a legal agreement with the law that states the partner as the next of kin. This means that, should anything ever happen to the partner, all the couple's belongings, savings and children will fall into the custody of the one person on the planet that the individual in question decided to spend the rest of their life with.

However, when two people of the same sex fall in love and decide to get married, they are only legally allowed a civil partnership. This, unlike a marriage, leaves each of the individuals' families as their next of kin. So, in this scenario, if anything were to happen to one partner, custody of that partner's possessions, savings and any adopted or surrogate children biologically related to them, falls into the custody of that person's family. Not the man or woman they have decided to spend the rest of their life with.

This means that if an individual that is gay has come from a homophobic family, or a family that doesn't like their partner, (let's face it, a lot of families don't like the person their children fall in love with) should anything happen to them, their family has no legal obligation to allow their partner to any possessions, savings, or entitlement to see their children.

Despite the fact that this person fell in love and decided to spend the rest of their life with their partner, simply because a civil partnership is not the same as a marriage. It's not the same at all.

Act 77: Filled up a Paddling Pool.

This act must have been lost in Drafts since summer! I apologise for the belated post.

On one of the few hot days this year, my brand-spanking-new neighbours had a paddling pool blown up in their back garden, but were filling it up using buckets. So, I plugged in our outdoor hose and passed it over the fence to fill the pool up faster.

The kids seemed to enjoy it!

Act 76: Babysat.

Today, I babysat for my neighbours so they could go out for the evening.

Looking after two toddlers wasn't as bad as I thought it would be!

However, I'm still not too keen on having children any time soon...

Act 75: Helped Organise Children in Need in School.

Today was Children in Need! And, as one of the House Captains, I was trusted to organise events to take place at lunchtime within school.

I was in charge of face and nail painting, so I roped many a friend, including Immy, in to help out.

Surprisingly, everything went fantastically well! And I'm sure everyone had fun thanks to my wonderful volunteers, I couldn't have done it without them!

Act 74: Car Pool.

Today at college, a few friends needed lifts home. So, I volunteered my little car and was Chloe's Taxi for the afternoon and ferried everyone from A to B.

Act 73: Epilepsy Band.

Today, I wore my epilepsy charity band to raise awareness of the illness.

I firmly believe that everyone should be taught what to do in an emergency where someone is having a seizure or an epileptic fit.

Because the faster you act, the less brain damage occurs, and the more of the person you save.

Trust me, I know.

Act 72: Fairy Godmother.

Today, I was the fantastic Fairy Godmother that I should be and FaceTimed my baby Goddaughter that lives away. She looked pretty grumpy the entire time, and contributed little to the conversation. I can't really blame her though, as she can't actually speak.

Love you, Layla. x

Act 71: Shared my Sweeties.

Today, I was given a pack of sweets by a teacher. So, to pay the kindness forward (and to save my braces being pulled apart by the chewy goodness) I shared them out.

Just as well because I pretty much choked to death on one of them. Damn you, Fruitella.

Act 70: Made Pancakes.

Between myself feeling like a compulsive eater, and Tom feeling down, I decided to crack out the crepe pan and make some pancakes for everyone.

And smother them in so much Nutella that anyone's ability to breathe is severely reduced.

Act 68: Movembered.

As a member of the half of that can't grow a moustache with it being socially acceptable in our society, I have donated to friends that are partaking in Movember instead.

If you want to sponsor friends, relatives or complete strangers, you can find all the information on https://uk.movember.com or you can ask your friend to link you to their sponsor form if they are a registered user.

Happy mo-growing!

Act 69: Tried to Help Find Charley.

A recent story circulating on twitter is about a man who had his house broken into, and among many things taking, was his puppy called Charley.

Many tweets have been going round using the hashtag #findcharley in hope of helping to locate the little bulldog.

To try to help, I retweeted a tweet raising awareness of the lost puppy.

I hope she gets home safely soon.

Act 67: Sang. Badly.

Today, in the hope of brightening up another human being's day, I sang. Well, it was more of a duet between us, but I can assure you, it was loud and incredibly off key.

And just if you were wondering, it was a blasting of Drops of Jupiter by Train in my car. A beautiful song, if you've never heard it.

Act 66: Carried Crutches.

Today, in college, I passed a boy in the year below with a broken leg. He seemed to be struggling massively to get down the stairs, so I offered to carry his crutches for him. He accepted my offer and went on hopping down the stairs with the help of the banister.

Act 65: Smuggled Tea.

Last night, Immy went to a firework display in a particularly cold field with her family and friends. To make the cold slightly more bearable, she smuggled flasks of tea and coffee in for everyone to share.

Remember, remember.

Act 64: Smiled at Everyone.

Today, Immy and I smiled at everyone. Absolutely everyone. As you can imagine, we seemed pretty creepy after not very long. However, I would like to think that we brightened up some people's days. Hopefully.

Act 63: Offered Help to Everyone.

Immy and I spent the whole of today offering help to people. But not just select people, we offered help to absolutely everyone we thought could do with a hand.

Act 62: Bought a Poppy.

Donated money to the Poppy Appeal, thus getting a poppy to wear.

Act 61: Said "Thank You" to a Company.

Today, while writing an email complaining to a big company that had messed around for long enough, it suddenly dawned on me that the only times I ever bother to get in touch with a company is to tell them they've done something wrong; never to tell them they've done something right. So, I decided to take a little time out of my day to write "Thank You" emails to a handful of companies I have most recently done business with.

And just to sweeten the act, every company I got in touch with replied saying how happy they were to hear my compliments, and I even got a 10% off code from one too.

Thank you!

Act 60: Paid a Busker.

I always see buskers around town and I rarely leave them any money (usually because they can't sing), but today I changed my ways and gave some coins to a busker I passed.
