I hope LibraPoppyGirl doesn't mind, but seeing as she sort of "did" a summary for me; I thought I would use her words to start a new thread as the last one was getting pretty long! Smile

It was interesting to find out what the Plural of Phoenix was at the same time - Apparently that's derives from the original Latin - same as Matrix and Matrices. So there you go!! You learn something new everyday. Wink

Prayers for LibraPoppyGirl as well - as she seeks refuge in the ... erm ... refuge and looks to a safe future with her precious family. Protect her, Lord and show her the way she should walk .....

Knee is doing well thanks BES. I'd badly torn a cartilage, so they'd removed it during the op. No physio needed as I have full movement - just need to do the exercises...

Feeling shattered myself - kids slept in the garden in a tent on their own. Couldn't sleep for checking that they were OK!

blackeyedsusan · 10/04/2011 10:20

glad to hear that your knee has improved, mary Did you get a better nights sleep? I sympathise with the "guard duty" feeling.

I am disappointd as dd has had a gurgly dodgy tummy and we are off church again. I was geared up to go this week as well. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

How is everyone else?

Off to change the settings to get rid of this green purple effect...

blackeyedsusan · 10/04/2011 10:27

mmm pretty...

MadHairyMilkEggonEasterDay · 10/04/2011 13:11

green purple effect? Not seeing this, but sounds ermmm....tiring Grin

Morning everyone - beautiful day. PLease let the whole holiday be like this!

Prayers continuing for all. x

blackeyedsusan · 10/04/2011 13:34

It depends what settings you have. op is one colour and your own posts another, if you choose. normally ok but not when alternated in quick succesion

CaptainDippy · 10/04/2011 17:02

Happy Sunday all! Smile

MaryBS · 11/04/2011 09:28

I slept better thanks, BES. Although still awake and checking, particularly as it was Sat night, and more people around late at night. Had a busy Sunday, with being part of worship leading in the morning, and leading Evensong in the evening. Was shattered by 9pm!

What are people up to this week, anything exciting?

Prayers please for DD's friend Emma and her mum, who are both struggling, with Emma still being fed by tube.

blackeyedsusan · 11/04/2011 09:39

MadHairyMilkEggonEasterDay · 11/04/2011 10:06

Praying for Emma, Mary.

Hope it goes well today BES.

Praying for all. DO have you had any results/feedback from Brompton at all?

We have a busy week - lots to do for church then off to Italy - yay!! Only me and dh, dc will be at the ILs Grin

Please pray for strength and health for me - really struggling atm.

DutchOma · 11/04/2011 10:20

MHD No results from the Brompton at all. They wanted us back in (both of us) on 20th April which is the day after we come back from Holland, so we rang last Monday to ask if they could put it off a week. "Not a problem", they said and sent a letter confirming the 20th. Nothing else till we phoned them on Friday. "No, appointment is for the 20th" "Can you defer it a week?" "I will let you know within a couple of hours". We are still waiting.
I am back to grrrr again.

CaptainDippy · 11/04/2011 13:16

Grrr indeed DO Hmm

Thinkign of you today BES, hope it goes ok Smile xx

MHD - jealous of Italy - wow, enjoy! Smile

I am off to get my girls now (playscheme while I worked this am) and we're off the beach with other friends, yippee! Oh I do love to be beside the seaside!!!!! Grin

Praying for everyone still.

Here, odd news. They've found out what sort of breast cancer I have now and there's an additional treatment for it which is good news, but the treatment (herceptin) may cause heart failure Biscuit. Hmm.

DutchOma · 11/04/2011 17:23

Scary decisions Amber

Well, after ringing the Brompton again there is apparently a letter on its way to say we have an appointment on the 27th and we can both go.
The pharmacy delivered 16 bottles of food supplement, all strawberry. The dietician at the Brompton said this was an easier food supplement to take because the pots were smaller, but as far as I can see they are just the same as the ones he hated so much before he went into hospital. Certainly the same size.

MadHairyMilkEggonEasterDay · 11/04/2011 18:09

Aaaagh DO it's all so frustrating, I know well how it feels being caught in the system where you feel you are not listened to. Glad you've got a later appt though. How long are you going to Holland for?

Amber - oh that is difficult. Praying for you, for wisdom for decisions about it, for peace for you.

blackeyedsusan · 11/04/2011 19:40

he's gone. it's strange. he has been here after an interview, so came to the flat to spare his best expensive(to us) suit from mcdonalds and the park/rain. feel strange, could do with a stomp about for a bit...

DutchOma · 11/04/2011 20:08

We are going on the nightboat on Thursday, back on the boat Monday evening, so it is five nights away.
My brother has broken his arm, was operated on today (it was 1 1/2 cm apart), but we are still all going, all 37 of us.

Teaandcakeplease · 11/04/2011 22:33

I'm off to Scotland tomorrow for the long awaited trip to stay with the PIL we've discussed before. Prayers for the trip up (they're flying me and the DCs at their expense) and that the DCs sleep well whilst there and that the PIL do not undermine me and we can all have a lovely time. I'll be back Sunday. I'll miss not checking in with you all until back. Unless FIL can give me the key to his broadband if it's wifi, then I could check in from my phone
