:o 79 each now!

I registerd, logged in, but it only tells me that I have not raised any funds for them, not that I have voted for them.

It doesn't seem to register the vote first time, only when you go back.

Just back from the school leaver service (as led by yours truly). It went very well, I managed not to cry, even though DD was. Am shattered now though!

anyone around today?
:)

. Licensing of our new priest today!

ooooooohhh! exciting

I hope so, as I think I'm feeling a bit wobbly about it all. No proper reason for it other than tiny things upsetting me more than they should.

I'm sure it'll be fine - new priests are always scary, because you just don't know what they'll be like till they're in charge! :)

do you want about talk about what's upsetting you?

Still having problems with one of the CWs...

Hope it goes well Mary :)

Hello all. Had a good weekend with our farewell party. Was emotional. Very tired out now and dd is ill. All too much for her. Still we are off to New wine on Saturday and I am ridiculously excited. I need this soooo much, so does dh. It will be like an oasis between two worlds, kind of (hopefully!) Trying to get so much sorted beforehand, but not really succeeding!!

ah. Well, I hope they find some strength to do/see what's right.

mhd - sounds good.
change all round, eh!

Errmm, keep meaning to ask Nickel why you are nearlyheadless. And which way is it going? Is your head nearly ready to fall off, or has someone managed to screw it back on tight?

it's my Harry Potter name!
after Nearly Headless Nick, the ghost at hogwarts who was beheaded, btu the head din't come off all the ay!

that last bit should have said "but the head didn't come off all the way"

i can't type!

hello all, sorry for very long absence. Have had a manic few weeks at theend of term. Got slightly less frantic now - only planning for our talks at NW now. DH and I are team pastors for one of the kids work teams.

We did it last year too - involves arranging worship for, and delivering a shortish 'thought for the day' morning and evening for a team of 80 youth and adults who are leading one of the kids groups.

We are off on Friday, to set up ready for the delegates the following day. Really looking forward to it, but am nervous too. Looking forward to meeting MHD while we are there!

I twigged that nickel! :)

Ah, I see

hey Panda! I was wondering where you'd got to - thought you might have namechanged and I'd missed it!

Sounds like you've been busy though :)
and that you've got some fun events coming up

I'm back too! Holiday club 3 done, one more to go but it's in our village so easier. And one of my friends is coming to visit next week which I'm reallly looking forward to. Off to put some water in a tub in the garden for the DCs as it's well over 30 today

I gave up on Harry Potter in volume 3, when I thought it was getting very boring.

(i've changed back now)

I think it did get heavy going after volume 3, you're right.
(not boring, cos it was still compelling ,but hard to get through imo)

i think i skimmed a lot of the last 3 books....

The funniest thing was that our church was very against Harry Potter and wanted to ban all of it. We are still not allowed to sell them in the shop. So they called a meeting and it turned out that I (who was not against them at all) was the only one who had actually read it. Everybody else had read a synopsis and were dead against it.
They never cottoned on to Philip Pullman, which always makes me smile.
