Today is Day 28 of Blogtober 2026 and as it is Wednesday it is time for my weekly round up post Rambling Of A StressedMum – 28/10/2026. My Week This past week has had a lot of ups and downs. But C is back for the week which is great and Biscuit is loving. Health wise we are all ok. My Dad is having so many hospital appointments again now. Last week his blood test to check his PSA as he is in remission for Prostate cancer. Yesterday was his appointment for his lymphoma and that is ok and under…
These days, looking after your health is about more than eating well and staying active. Your mouth is part of your overall wellbeing, yet it is often one of the first areas people neglect. Many people wait until they feel pain before arranging a dental checkup, but by then, a small problem may have become more difficult and costly to treat. Regular dental care is designed to prevent problems before they affect your daily life. A routine visit allows your dentist to spot changes early, keep your teeth and gums healthy, and offer advice that helps you maintain good oral…
Day 27 of Blogtober 2026 and my topic for today is What Would My Perfect Day Look Like? My perfect day is far from the days I have at the moment. Morning I would wake up a lot later than I do, after a full nights sleep. This is something I have struggled with since my husband died. Then a nice long shower and hair wash, with no interruptions, before heading down for nice breakfast and fresh coffee. After breakfast, I would then dry my hair and get dressed and would then take Biscuit out for a lovely walk, in…
Today is day 26 of Blogtober 2026 and the topic today is What Has October Taught Me? October has been a very mixed month for me. 1 – I Am Only Human You would think my life would be simple now. With C loving university. With it just being me and Biscuit to worry about. Sadly no this is not the case and there are only 24 hours in a day. I can not do everything or please everyone. 2 – The Joy Of Cooking Again With the weather much cooler, my meals have changed. I am now enjoying cooking…

Day 23 of Blogtober 2026 and the topic today is Something I Am Looking Forward To Before The End Of The Year. I can not just choose one thing so am going to share a few things that I am hoping will happen before the end of the year. Health My poor Dad has had a very tough 2026. He has mouth cancer and had part of his mouth/jaw removed. Then an intense course of radiotherapy. Now he is struggling with opening his mouth fully. We are back under the surgical team with his first appointment back with them next…
With Christmas around the corner, or birthdays to think of (I have 4 in November). Finding the perfect gift can sometimes cause a lot of stress. I have always been a huge fan of personalised gifts, as they always mean so much more. I am sharing How To Find The Perfect Gifts With MYPICTURE. As we now have a new member of the family Biscuit How could I not use him as my inspiration. Once I had finally decided on which pictures to choose from – honestly, this really is the hardest part of ordering. The ordering process is so…
Today is day 22 of Blogtober 2026 and the theme today is My Favourite Way To Spend A Rainy Day. As it seems that the rain season is here, and going no where. We will have plenty of rainy days ahead of us. I do love being home on a cold and wet rainy day. Knowing that today I can stay home and keep warm and dry. Although Biscuit is still getting used to the rain I do still take him out and coax him to walk even a little way. Odd Jobs There is always something to do around…

Today is day 20 of Blogtober 2026 and today the topic is What Does Balance Look Like For Me Right Now? My life is definitely living up to my blog name of StressedMum. Honestly it is so hard to get the balance right and make things that little more even and calmer As I write this post, things are far from calm. Life is very stressful at the moment so finding things to keep a balance is the key for me. On One Side Of The Scales I have my parents, as you know my dad had quite an intrusive…
