Grin

I know I would appreciate prayers as I face the prospect that the Littlest Dippy starts school in a few short weeks (w/c 12th Sept to be precise). Feeling a little wobbly to say the least ......

blackeyedsusan · 29/08/2011 10:17

please pray. have another potential plumbing problem. near the toilet. worried sick. going to leave today to monitor, then it will be calling out the plumber, again.

blackeyedsusan · 29/08/2011 10:36

.... and now ds has thron a dinosaur at dd and she has got a black eye..

DutchOma · 29/08/2011 11:46

Just picked up your tales of woe BES Hope it got better in the last hour and that the plumbing problem is not really a problem at all.
The weather is not really very nice here, but would it be possible to go out and run some beans off?
Do you really have to attend every Sunday at church to get a child into a particular school? How very draconian. And how very wrong. Of them, not of you. How much longer?

amberlight · 29/08/2011 20:06

Prayers aplenty for each of you as I'm reading through.

Op is on 15th Sep. Then radiotherapy from about a month afterwards.

newlark · 29/08/2011 21:41

bes - I too have a ds starting pre-school who will not be potty trained - we have just given up after 3 weeks of him not showing any interest. Dd is starting school too so all change here. Will join those praying for their little ones.

ZipadiSoozi · 30/08/2011 10:35

Helloooooo! back from camping trip to Wales (care of sil's back garden) dc were so well behaved, relief!!! Thank you God xx

but... prayers for family of a gentleman who was paragliding and his harness gave way, he fatally crashed onto the beach we were on, very traumatic.

DutchOma · 30/08/2011 13:41

Prayers for the family of that gentleman, what an awful thing for him and his family, but also for you. Were you very close?

blackeyedsusan · 30/08/2011 13:53

newlark. he does show an interest and can wee, but toddler diarrhoea sort of makes it difficult to train for poo, and he regularly does 3 a day and up to 5/6 and it is this i worry about at nursery. he seems to have no concept they are coming and will sit on the potty for 15 minutes if in the mood, then get off and go 5 minutes later.

howw old is your ds?

the toilet seems to be leaking at the joint of soil pipe and toilet. (yuk) for soem reason our bathrooms are enormous (bad planning) and I have filled it with stuff, which needs to be moved before I can get the plumber in. I am lacking motivation and energy. off to do it soon. just spent 20minutes standing with ds whilst he tries to poo in the potty...he is noww screaming as I had to take him off to get dd a potty (leaky toilet) and she can not wait long

blackeyedsusan · 30/08/2011 14:02

prayers soozi.

madhairday · 30/08/2011 16:32

Oh sooz that is so tragic. :( Prayers indeed.

newlark · 30/08/2011 17:29

bes - my ds will be 3 in 3 weeks time and is starting pre-school on Monday. I'm sure your nursery will be fine when you explain the situation - they would rather deal with poo in a nappy/pull-ups than soiled clothes and hopefully seeing other boys using the potty/toilet will encourage him to use it too. Sorry about your plumbing problem :(

praying soozi.

gingercurl · 31/08/2011 09:10

Could do with some prayer. Am starting to realise that I'm going to have to accept that DS will be an only child. DH doesn't want any more (he's got three more) and we are both getting too old. Sad Sad Sad

blackeyedsusan · 31/08/2011 12:23

gc, that is really tough. does he realise how much you want another child?

blackeyedsusan · 31/08/2011 16:54

I am about to strip the third lot of bedding of a bed in 2 days due to leaks. making little progress with gaining access to bathroom for the plumber as tired and woken early by leaky child and the bathroom was a dumping ground. and ds is screaming so got to go...

Teaandcakeplease · 31/08/2011 19:55

SIL has been rushed into hospital with a possible ruptured ovarian cyst or it maybe something else. She's having a scan tomorrow, my brother is in Ireland with work, so it's all hands on deck at her house as they have 4 DCs that need caring for with both parents now away Sad Please pray.

amberlight · 31/08/2011 20:11

Prayers aplenty....

ZipadiSoozi · 31/08/2011 21:02

Prayers for you and family TACP

DO - Sea king helicopter was very close, I took dc for lunch to distract them. Although, Finlay came home and instantly made a para glider out of paper to play with, I don't think he understood the extent of accident, thank goodness. But, poor family, so traumatic for them and the fellow para gliders! my continued prayers for them all.

blackeyedsusan · 31/08/2011 22:48

prayers tea and cakes.

soozi, hope they are young enough to be distacted by the helicopter

Bluetinkerbell · 31/08/2011 22:51
