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 .....

That's wonderful Caz, also keeping you in my prayers :)
BES - good luck for the 5 days off! They're hardly in school this half term [grumpy] :)

Let us know the results when you get them amber...keeping praying

lalabaloo · 26/04/2011 21:16

Prayers for everyone. Thank you for the prayers re MIL. Visited her tonight, it was as okay as it could be, as we were leaving she said in a really sickly sweet voice "Do visit us again soon. You know you are welcome any time!" Me and DH couldn't say anything, and when we got back to the car he said "Unfortunately mum what you say and what you make us feel are two entirely different things", which says it all really :(

Fantastic news Caz :)

Thinking of you Amber, hope it all goes well for you tomorrow xxx

thejaffacakesareonme · 26/04/2011 21:42

Caz - wonderful news.

Amber - praying for you too.

Caz, I"ve just looked at your lovely scan picture. Oh it's so exciting. I hardly post on here but I've been checking in regularly to see how Bow is getting on ever since you posted your happy news. I'm so pleased for you. (Bow is definitely an answer to the prayers I said for you, so many congratulations to you and your husband).
Sending peace and love to all of you.

how do you look at profiles?

PositiveAttitude · 27/04/2011 21:46

BES - hover over the poster name on the bar above the post, click and it will open up that poster's profile if they have it set on "public".

Blimey, that was an experience yesterday with this portacath being put in. They put the sedative in...nothing. Still wide awake. Put in a bigger dose, nothing at all. Seems sedatives no longer work on me.

So we did a one and a half hour operation using only local anaesthetic. Not a lot of sleep 'cos it jolly well hurts, but at least it's in. Prayers for healing would be appreciated. Praying for everyone else too.

MaryBS · 28/04/2011 08:56

Prayers Amber... and for all here...

Any news on that girl, CD?

MadHairbaaadonroyalweddingDay · 28/04/2011 12:16

Ouch, amber. It will settle down though and you'll find the port so much easier to cope with than endless painful canulas and vein searching etc. Prayers for healing said :)

ZipadiSoozi · 28/04/2011 15:55

When as a child I laughed and wept. Time CREPT
When as youth I waxed more bold. Time STROLLED
When I became a full grown woman. Time RAN
When older till I daily grew. Time FLEW
Soon I shall find, in passing on. Time GONE
O Christ! Wilt thou have saved me then?
Amen

Powerful Soooz! Smile

Sorry you are pained and not sleeping well amber, but glad it is in amber Smile You are amazing xxxx

All the Dippies are heading to London tomorrow - are we mental!!!? w[ink]Grin (Don't answer that, it is rhetorical) Wink

No news on girl who was run over, but driver of car that hit the car that hit the girl (if that makes sense) has been arrested, looks like he will be charged with dangerous driving - worse if the girl dies. Sad I pray she doesn't, still in critical condition in local hospital, major head trauma Sad
