    Hi Everyone! I was thinking that we don't really know much about each other (well most of us) so thought since I am bored and injured on this chilly Sunday morning I would create a little quiz that we can copy and paste and fill in the answers for ourselves :)

    1. Where were you born?
    2. Where do you live at the moment?
    3. Where else have you lived?
    4. What is your current occupation? What is your dream occupation?

    4. Secondary School Teacher; My hobby is soapmaking and I'd love to have my own handmade soap company. Not as big as Lush, but enough so I could earn a living.
    5. I'm 43. I have 2 kids. My big fitness goal is to run a marathon before I'm 50. My husband and I spent a grand total of 9 days together before we decided to get married - that was 17 years ago and we're still going strong. I am a total foodie and I love to cook.
