Hehe. that just made my rubbish day better

The lovely Gwen at Crochet Capers gave me an award three days ago, but I've been feeling too rotten to give it the attention it deserves. We are now finally on half term and I'm starting to feel human again, but now the rest of the family have got the flu so this will still need to be a quick post.

The rules:

1. Add the award to your blog.    Ok. Done that.

2. Thank the blogger who gave it to you. Easy. Thank you so much, Gwen

3. Mention 7 random things about yourself. Right-o, let's see:
    I'm a chocoholic
    I teach English to Speakers of Other Languages - most of the time I love my job. Sometimes, I just love the holidays!
     My favourite colour is purple.
     I hate gardening and I can't even keep a pot plant alive.
     I'm allergic to penicillin
    I can speak 4 languages (not fluently, but well enough to get by)
     I've got flu (did I mention that already?)

4. List the rules. Yes.

5. Award to 15 bloggers. That's a tricky one. here goes:

Thanks again, Gwen. Cheered up what was becoming a truly horrid week.
