How one woman tried to be a better person - and almost succeeded

Fed up of New Year’s resolutions involving diets and exercise abandoned on January 2nd, Judith is attempting to be good. For one whole year.

Judith embarked on a mission to do one good deed every day. Some called it a social experiment. At times she called it madness.

Juggling family, friends and a variety of neighbours in the small Northumberland village she calls home, she recounts the ups, downs, moments of doubt and sheer bloody hard work of doing good.

From the small - babysitting a friend’s child, clearing up her neighbour’s dead mice and feeding her friendship cake Herman the German, to the slightly larger - trying to raise e10,000 for charity with her Jam Jar Army and teaching a severely handicapped child to write - she describes what she learns along the way- that no good deed is too small and that being good makes you happy. Well, most of the time.
