So here we are at Wednesday again. What a week it has been from freezing temperatures and snow and ice to grey wet rain. This must mean it is that time of the week for my weekly Ramblings Of A StressedMum – 15/01/2025.

Health
C had her Botox for her migraines last Friday. They were delayed slightly so she is suffering a the last lot have worn off. Which means she is getting the side effects of this new lot.
I finally have my Neurology appointment next Tuesday it seems to have taken forever to arrive. It can not come quick enough now as I am in so much pain with it at the moment. So feeling positive they can help me
Budgies
A lot of you have been messaging and asking how the birds are. I must do a new pic as C has taken some great pics of them recently.
Willow is loving life in the big cage with all the others. She does make me laugh when the food bowls are filled up. She sits in the bowl to eat and does not let any of the others near it. C also feeds them fresh food and so she has been trying new things she loved the beetroot as does snowy who had a beautiful purple face.
New Things For 2025
I never make new years resolutions as I always fail them. So have been looking and thinking about StressedMum.
I am currently wanting to change the look of my blog and been looking at new themes. So not sure if I will stay with the current theme or change it at the moment.
One thing I do want to do this year is cook more meals from fresh and try new recipes. I do make a lot of my meals from scratch but there are some I just cheat and use jars for.
I shared a traditional bolognaise recipe the other day. Which my family loved and had no comments about. I am thinking next will be a chilli. I just need time to make it.
What recipes would you like to try that you can suggest I make?
Birthday Celebrations
Tomorrow is my husbands birthday. We are out in the evening and also Friday with friends. Saturday we are heading off for a couple of nights away and returning home on Monday.
I am looking forward to a couple of nights away to relax, before heading to the hospital on Tuesday.

I don’t mind the cold weather as long as there is some sunshine, sadly that has been lacking so far this year
You can wrap up against the cold but when it is grey and raining its not fun
Botox for migraines sounds like a wonderful breakthrough, ive never heard of this but my friend at work really suffers so I will tell her to look into this now ive read this. It’s good you have your appointment, these appointments are taking far to long these days aren’t they.
The botox has really helped so worth looking into options if your friend does suffer with them. It has taken ages for my appointment so am glad it is now here
I hope you and C feel better soon. It’s so good to know your budgies are doing fine. They are really do adorable.
Thank you hopefully we can sort C out as it is very worrying, The budgies are very happy and chirpping very loudly at the moment
I hope C sees some improvement with her migraine treatments. As a fellow migraine sufferer, this hits home and botox has come up a few times as something for me to try. C is a warrior and not alone! Happy birthday to your husband, hope you guys had a ton of fun!
This is was her third round of botox and it really is helping and something to consider if offered it. We had a great time away thank you 🙂
We had parrots back in the day and those birds remind me of them. They were adorable and we loved them. I hope your husband has a happy birthday.
My Mum would love a parrot she had a cockatiel once who was such a character
Trying out new recipes can be so much fun! We like a lot of asian dishes – which it’s hard to find many pre-made sauces and the like for.
I do love trying new recipes, just tried another one last night which again was a hit. We love asian dishes and that is another thing I want to try to make
I hope that you enjoyed your week and accomplished all that you set out to do.
It has been a busy week, but did get a lot done which is good
I’m so sorry to hear about the pain you’re going through, but it’s great to hear that your neurology appointment is finally on the horizon.
They rang me yesterday to check that I am still going to the appointment, I told the poor man I will definitely be there and have waited so long for this appointment I am not going to miss it now haha
January is going by so quickly! I must try making your traditional Bolognese sauce, it looks amazing!
It is lovely and I have the remainer frozen down for another day
I hope C feels better soon and that the side effects pass quickly. Best wishes for your neurology appointment – fingers crossed for effective solutions. Looking forward to more updates and exciting news for 2025. Take Care!
Thank you, she is struggling at the moment but we knew this would happen. I am just about holding on for my Neurology appointment and hoping they can help me
This January is flying by,I never make new years resolutions either
Glad to know that Willow loves life in the big cage. Birds are wonderful to have in a household in my opinion.
She is so happy and such a huge personality, they do get a little noisy at times but I do love sitting here hearing them chirping away
I hope you have a good day with your husband for his birthday. And I hope you manage to get some answers at your appointment x
Thank you am sure we will have a great time. I am hoping to as well as had a day on nanny duties yesterday and am in so much pain today
I want to do more cooking from scratch this year too and be more organised!
I have managed with one meal, now to see if I have success with my second attempt
Have a lovely couple of nights away. Hope the appointment goes well
Thank you am looking forward to getting away for a couple of days
I hope you get the answers you need at your neurology appointment. You and C have been too down for too long!
Thank you so do I
I hope you have a lovely time with your husband for his birthday. You both deserve it so much!
Thank you we are looking forward to it
Willow has such a big personality! I’m in love with her just from reading your posts. I can’t imagine how much fun she is in person!
She is definitely a huge character, she may be the littlest and youngest but it doesn’t stop her
I miss hearing about the budgies so much…I am so happy they’re doing well and they’re growing happily…They’re so cute.
They are all cuties and have such different personalities
