That’s just a few of the things that have happened over my last 2 week sabbatical from social media and blogging. A non intentional period of leave that really has just happened rather than been planned. So like I said, anniversaries, sunburn, shingles…….oh and winning £1000 on the radio! I KID YOU NOT.
It started when my eldest turned 15! You can catch up with that here
Not only did he turn an age that made me feel extremely old, he decided to test our skills by sporting a rather unusual rash, which after seeing the doctor turned out to be SHINGLES!! Very strange as it only appeared on a quarter of his face and over one eye.

Anyway, it was my wedding anniversary next day, 19 years if you can believe it, I bloody couldn’t!
But I got these which automatically made the day better :

What did I do to celebrate this momentous day? I went FISHING………….yes your read it correctly. It was a gorgeous sunny day and the fish were biting so I was a happy bunny. However, I didn’t expect this little extra ……

Well things didn’t end there. I had a very lucky day when I managed to get through on Magic FM’s £1000 song!! Seriously, I called, I got through, I told them the name of song and artist and they VERY kindly gave me £1000…………………I was so excited I put the phone down without giving my details- DUH! So you can imagine my relief when they called me back- YAY.
I was on a high for a few days after that, as you can imagine. God knows what I would be like if I won the lottery………………I would probably have a heart attack on the spot!
So in my absence what have you all been up too?
Wow, that is some week you’ve had! Happy anniverary, beautiful bouquet – how romantic with the 19 red roses! And mega congratulations on your fabulous win…fantastic!

Not sure what I am more surprised about – someone actually winning a big chunk of cash (hurrah for you btw, that’s awesome!) or someone as young as 15 having shingles, I always thought that was an ‘older’ person’s illness!! Glad all is well that ends well – hope the sunburn cleared up ok!
I know I always thought shingles was an oldies thing too!! Apparently teens get it but normally on their torso, mine obviously wanted to be creative LOL. in true celtic style the sunburn has eased, peeled and disappeared! 🙂
