Another week has flown by, which means it is time for my weekly round up post Ramblings Of A StressedMum – 03/05/2024. Where I share what has been happening in the StressedMum household this week.
I seem to have had one of those weeks where, I have done a lot. But achieved hardly anything. Do you get weeks like that.
I will say, I have been dealing with so many dramas, appointments for everyone. Which is why I am a little late in posting my weekly round up post.

Baby Budgies
As you know the eggs we had did not hatch. However, C’s friends bird laid 6 eggs 3 of which hatched. They are 2 weeks old now. Looking at the colours starting to come through, her friend thinks. The one on the left is going to be green and the other two rainbow coloured.
C did want a green one, as Pippy loves a green budgie on TikTok. But as these three babies are related to Pippy and Gizmo. A green one will probably be not the best match. Apparently though, if one of the other two are female we are getting one. Then we will buy a green boy budgie. She has it all planned out.
Why I Updated My Review
You may have seen the other day, I posted an updated review on my HiGRID mattress. I did not do this lightly, but feel honesty is always the best policy. You will see from my post that, we had literally tried everything we could on our side. The company have been zero silence, until the response I posted in the update. It is sad, but having worked with brands for a long time. If there has been a problem, which can happen. It has always been rectified with no problems.
I was trained in a very high customer focusing role, where customer service was always high standard. I expect a good customer service and will pull up on anywhere I do not get it. Likewise, if I get good customer service I do always pass that on as well.

Those budgies are cute, I have no suggestions for new topics though
They are even cuter now
ohh those baby budgies are so cute. Such a shame yours didn’t hatch
They are even cuter now and grown so much. It is a shame but we did expect it to happe n
I love those budgies! I think nice cheap days out or fun things to do over summer that don’t cost a lot are always helpful 🙂

Would be great to see posts about / for older teen children and problems/ worries they face from teen skin care (male & female ) to online issues
Great topics to discuss
Ooh not sure of a new topic. Maybe how to keep your cool around grumpy teenagers or assisting your teens through stressful exam times. You can tell what’s currently relevant to me lol!
Now that is a tough one how to keep your cool around teenagers. Will definitely be looking at teenager topics though
I can’t believe how tiny the baby budgies are! I would maybe like to look at what you can do to support your children through exam times, as it is that stressful time of year for some students (and their parents!) again!
They are growing, I am getting regular updates on them, as apparently a strong chance we are getting one if they are females
Bear or man? Why the internet is on fire about women saying they’d prefer to be alone in the woods with a bear rather than a man.
I need to have a look at this, not heard of this
I couldn’t think of a topic but I’d second this. Tiktok was full of postings. The replies from some men beggared belief. I’m “team bear” and that’s me thinking as a guy!
I did have a look at this and like you with some of the replies.
Family Days out & things to do when it’s raining!
