Hi Everyone
Just a very quick share tonight and a laugh at my expense!!
As reported last night hubby and I are currently living in the "House of Germs".
Well last night I decided that in order for us to at least get some sleep I would spend the night in the spare bed .. .. wow!!! ... what a beautiful night's sleep I had. I woke up so refreshed it was unbelievable.
When hubby got up he walked past the spare room to get to the bathroom. He looked at the unmade bed and laughed saying "Oh .. .. you stayed on Ward 2 last night did you?" LOL!!
Anyway, we managed to get appointments with a doctor today. Hubby has been given some antibiotics and me .. .. well .. .. I have managed to get shingles!!! Lucky me!!
I noticed a few little spots towards the beginning of the week and mistakenly took them for insect bites. I had managed to dry some washing outside and assumed that a little "biter" must have nestled into my bra!!! You wouldn't believe the amount of bite cream I have been plastering on myelf LOL!!!
By last night these spots were spreading and had begun to hurt .. .. which I decided couldn't be right .. .. now I know why. But of course now I have left them too long for any medication to stop them multiplying so I will just have to see how I go.
Anyway, just a quick share today .. .. very simple and straightforward .. but one I like. I love this image and I also love sentiment background paper. So the two go together perfectly for me.
This used:
Image: Penny Black "2071J" A Scholar!!
Backing Papers: Aimee Asher
Josy Rose: Nail Heads
Diamond Stickles
ProMarkers
Ribbon from the Stash Box
OK .. .. that is me for today.
I will be back tomorrow with my Penny Black at Allsorts Blog Hop winner (don't worry I'm not posting anything out .. .. prizes will come to the lucky winner via Brenda - our challenge leader and Anice my Funky Hand boss .. .. so you won't need to worry about catching any germs from the House of Hearts!!).
Plus it will also be week 3 on my own personal challenge to banish my scrap. So only scrap paper in use tomorrow .. .. wonder what I will make??!?!? Even I don't know yet LOL!!!
Have a lovely evening everyone.. .. .. .. think I might sleep on Ward 2 again tonight. I fancy another good night's kip!! LOL!!!
See you tomorrow

Love this, it's just perfect; fab image and background. Poor you (and hubby). Lots of staff at school have been off with shingles too and I know it can be very painful for weeks. Get well soon xxxx
Oh Jules. how horrible. You need to take care of yourself. My neighbour has Shingles at the minute and has been so poorly. She's normally so fit and active and it's been shocking to see her laid so low. Love to you both and a speedy recovery.
He looks a very happy hedgy, I wonder what he's graduated in. It's a great card as always.
