Health

My ongoing itching is now getting better finally. I messaged my GP again last Thursday as it was unbearable. She spoke to me on the phone, then asked me to see her. She took one look at my scalp gave me a prescription and it is working.
Poor C had her migraine appointment last week, I kept saying Wednesday and she was no it is Thursday. Stupidly never checked. We got to our appointment on Thursday and of course it was the day before. So now trying to sort out a new appointment.
The Noisy Duo

Pippy and Gizmo are now in one cage. They have the odd split second disagreement but follow each other around. The swing bridge thing was always Gizmo’s place to sleep, Pippy also loves it and gets grumpy when Gizmo tries to go on as well. Although she soon gives in.
Trip Away

I will be switching off my computer on Thursday evening. We are having a little family trip away Friday to Monday. This is so important for us as it is the first break we have had as a family for a long time. Although the weather is not looking like it is going to be on our side.
For those of you entering my giveaways, I have scheduled posts to go live every day. Comments will not show until I return and approve them on Tuesday morning. So do not worry they are no showing.

They get along really well, it was lovely getting away for a few days
Enjoy the time away!!! Sorry about the appointment. It has happened to me before too, it can be very frustrating.
We had a lovely time away, I do need to chase up the appointment
Your birds are really so cute. I heard about jamdouughnuts recently good way to save up some money.
They are cuties and so funnny, I am loving jamdoughnut
I have never owned birds before, although I’ve had many different pets. Your birds sound like they are little characters!
I have had various pets, we have had birds but not for years
Hope you manage to have a lovely family filled long weekend, you deserve it. The pair must be such a sight in the cage together x
We had a lovely time together and been discussing more breaks. They do love being together
I’m so glad to hear that your itching is finally getting better! It must have been incredibly frustrating, but it’s great that your GP was able to help you with a prescription that’s working. Relief at last!
As for C’s migraine appointment mishap, those things happen to the best of us! I’m sure you’ll get a new appointment sorted out soon. It’s all about the little bumps in the road, right?
And how adorable that Pippy and Gizmo are now in the same cage! It sounds like they are adjusting well and enjoying each other’s company, even if they have the occasional disagreement. That swing bridge must be the hottest spot in town! 😄
Wishing you all the best on your trip away. Enjoy your time and take care!
My head is feeling a lot better thankfully, hopefully be back to non itching soon. I am trying to sort out her appointment. Gizmo is so chilled and nothing fazes him. We have another bridge swing just been delivered which they will probably fight over
Thanks for sharing tips for saving money with us. I really need those tips. And you have awesome giveaways.
Thank you, I do love to save money and always happy to share ways to save money
Good you got a prescription to help.

Still itchy but nowhere near as bad
Lovely to see the 2 birds have made friends! Enjoy your weekend away!
They do love each other, lucky Gizmo is so chilled as Pippy doesn’t stop talking
I really do hope that you enjoy your trip away. It is always so needed to actually switch off from work and home life.
I am enjoying spending time and getting away with C as well
Oh Sam! That’s great news that your itching has stopped with the new prescription. Wouldn’t want that getting in your way of your sleep when you’re on holiday. I’m really happy for you.
Looking forward to hearing about your adventures. Enjoy!!
Am looking forward to getting away
I am so glad Pippy and Gizmo are getting along in one cage. I was wondering how they would act together. This is great actually…
Mostly they are ok, and always with each other
Love the duo and competitions – summer is on its way back soooooooon
They are definitely a duo, I really hope summer is back soon
Wish this weather would improve
So do I just been out and it was horrible
Your 2 budgie’s look so cute together
