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

Lovely DO [busmile]

gingercurl · 24/04/2011 16:30

Happy Easter, everyone!
That's wonderful DO

blackeyedsusan · 24/04/2011 16:39

after all the weeping and wailing, church wasn't that bad... we were late, (slow watch) (better today than back to school on tuesday) but they had quite a long beginning to the service before the children went out.. dd went out with her new friend but ds was upset and wanted to follow, he spent quite a lot of the service, clinging and whining "loss dd" but wasn't too bad. played quite quietly... and no-one has said anything (yet) so no need for those swear words. Both children are reallly clingy, more so than they used to be, a lot more than they used to be. people asked how h was and where he was. non commital that he is at his mums or is ok. one or two remembered that he was out of work too.

PositiveAttitude · 24/04/2011 17:24

Well done BES. I am pleased it went reasonably well. I am sure the first time must be the worst so well done for doing it.

HAPPY EASTER everyone.

All happy, chilled and enjoying this glorious weather here in PA land. - thunder storms haven't reached this far down yet.

CaptainDippy · 24/04/2011 18:35

Hurrah BES [busmile]

Glad it wasn't too bad, BES, although it certainly sounded as if you had enough to cope with. So glad to hear you were able to go though. Easter is my favourite church festival :)

We haven't had any storm clouds either PA.

FIVE testimonies DO??? Wow! Amazing!

I've had a LONG sleep this afternoon - to recover from all the events of the past week, its been shattering, but well worth it

Hallelujah, Rabbouni is Risen :o

Happy Easter everyone! Can I have some prayers please, really struggling with my MIL. We don't get on but she pops up every so often, today she wants us to visit as she has Easter eggs for us. We don't have to go now as she just texted that they are about to go to bed (completely not true she is never in bed before 10) but she stresses me out all the time. I want to let it go but I just can't, any contact from her makes me so angry and upset and I just want to cry. I just don't want anything to do with her and it's so hard :(

blackeyedsusan · 24/04/2011 23:18

mhd are you feeling [buenvy] ? all that chocolate is not good for you.

found the remains of last years easter egg in the fridge today [bublush]

some people have that effect on you lalabaloo, my mil is sooo nice on the surface, but oh boy is life difficult when you don't want to do something (like arrrange a wedding in three months) h was no help. will pray. have prayed for peace for tonight and the thought of visiting the Dragon will not hang over you.

blackeyedsusan · 24/04/2011 23:20

damn the dragon has disappeared, mm I know someone who wishes that in real life... [bugrin]

Hi CD [bugrin]

blackeyedsusan · 26/04/2011 07:33

urrghhh we had "lost car" a couple of times in the night and ost mummy. ended up with company for an hour or so. got woken again by a small boy trying to sit on next to my head. small boy who was so lively at 5 is now clinging and refusing breakfast. and making it virtually impossible to type eat mine.

back to school today

amberlight · 26/04/2011 09:33

Prayers continuing for everyone.

Could do with one here - got my permacath being put in tomorrow under sedation. If the blood test results today aren't right, they can't do it. And that means another hellish chemo session next week where they have to spend half hour finding a vein and causing massive bruising, which is very stressful on top of the chemo itself.

MaryBS · 26/04/2011 09:40

Praying Amber and BES. We have an inset day here.

MHDateallthechocolate · 26/04/2011 10:10

Praying Amber. That is stressful I know. It will be much easier once you have the port, it makes a big difference not having to find veins the whole time, less stressful and painful. thinking of you. x

blackeyedsusan · 26/04/2011 12:38

we have got an inset day next tuesday, so another 5 days off... yipee!

have prayed for your blood tests amber. I hope it all goes well

CazandBelle · 26/04/2011 15:39

Hey, thanks for your prayers. Scan was lovely today; one very wriggly baby, arms and legs everywhere, rolypoly's galore. Belle was really quiet in her 12 week scan so it was a really special moment to see Bow (what we're calling this baby) so awake and playing around.

Pic on profile.

amberlight · 26/04/2011 15:54

Hurrah re scan, Caz. Keeping every prayer possible going for you.
Blood test done. Results not known yet.
