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 ......

Ah well, at least we tried to be friends, Sweetest Smile

Prayers continuing for all

madhairday · 18/11/2011 17:30

How did it go BES?

blackeyedsusan · 18/11/2011 20:26

ds is being referred, which is what I wanted to happen. they can investigate and rule out this that or the other.

he has gone to sleep before his tea as he did not have a nap.

I am relieved to have made it to the weekend. there have been so many things to remember and organise in the last few weeks. brain circuits are overheating and melting. i do not have to organise anything tonight.

amberlight · 20/11/2011 11:09

Prayers continuing for everyone.

BES, hurrah for referral. Prayers that it leads somewhere.

Sweetest, small world indeed: I was out for lunch with our mutual contact yesterday.

Bluetinkerbell · 20/11/2011 19:35

prayers for everyone!

Can I ask for prayers for my DH... he is taking his second attempt in his last test to become an approved driving instructor this Wednesday. He is preparing very hard for this and it would make such a world of difference to us if he could pass on Wednesday :)

madhairday · 20/11/2011 21:09

Prayers for your dh Blue.

BES good news re referral, hopefully he can get the help he needs now.

Had a good weekend and feeling rather better healthwise. :)

TotallyUnheardOf · 20/11/2011 21:36

Checking in briefly to assure you that you're all in my prayers.

Good news about the referral, BES, and that you're feeling better, MHD. Good luck to your dh for Wednesday, Blue.

I'd appreciate more 'general coping' prayers, as I am still really struggling to stay on top of things at work, and it's getting me down a bit. Felt a bit more confident in my ability to get through this period, though - with God's help - after this morning's service. Smile

SweetestThing · 21/11/2011 11:04

BES, that's great news re the referral. Blue, good luck to DH for Wednesday.

Prayers continuing for all. Sometimes we have to remind ourselves that we are not alone and that God is by our side constantly - or is it just me that needs to do that?

blackeyedsusan · 21/11/2011 13:18

i have rung in sick for the 2 dc's this morning, but am not sure where I can ring in sick. we have all got colds/headaches/coughs/sneezes/sorethroats in various combinations.

how are you doing tuo? prayed

glad to hear about the improvement mhd

PositiveAttitude · 21/11/2011 14:50

Prayers for you all as I read through. For peace in each situation you are in and for positive outcomes on Wednesday for Blue's DH.

Can I add us to the list? DH, I, DS and DD4 are travelling up to Oswestry tomorrow afternoon for final medicals and family interview for our plans for next year. Up until now I have been very relaxed about it all and have just prayed that if it is God's will that it would go fine, BUT this time I am finding it harder to say that because we want it so much! We truly believe it is God's will, but I will be mightily relieved when tomorrow is done and final boxes are ticked. - does htat make sense to anyone?

Bluetinkerbell · 21/11/2011 14:55

thanks all!
PA that definitely makes sense :) I know what you mean!
prayers for you!

blackeyedsusan · 21/11/2011 15:49

yes it makes sense pa. you have got so far and geared up to go. hope all goes well.

DutchOma · 21/11/2011 17:29

Yes that makes sense to me as well. For me there wold also come a point when it is all set up and then I think "Whyever did I think this was a good idea?"

madhairday · 21/11/2011 19:10

Makes total sense PA. Praying for you for tomorrow!

TotallyUnheardOf · 21/11/2011 22:22

Prayers for tomorrow, PA. I hope it all goes well for you.

I got through a tough day today, which means - doesn't it? - that I can get up and do it all over again tomorrow...!

PositiveAttitude · 22/11/2011 05:51

Thank you everyone! Smile

Prayers for today for you TUO, too.

I am thinking that I was a bit daft to say that I would go into work today before we travel. I could really do with the morning here to sort everything out. I really must learn not to think that I will be letting others down if I dont run round like a lunatic first! Hmm

Hope everyone has a good day and I will be back tomorrow night, or Thursday morning to let you know the outcome.

blackeyedsusan · 22/11/2011 07:48

have got up to try and take dd to school, but there is a suspicion that she has still got a temperature and she is still coughing i could have been in bed til they woke up!

5am? phew pa... think you ought to learn to say no! hope today goes ok! hope the travelling is ok.

(there would be a whatever did you think this was a good idea moment about 5 in the morning!)

SweetestThing · 22/11/2011 10:20

Praying for PA today - hope it goes well.

Much prayer for everyone else too.

amberlight · 22/11/2011 17:43

Prayers continuing...

DutchOma · 22/11/2011 19:51

Prayers continuing for you as well, dear Amber.

gingercurl · 22/11/2011 21:14

Sorry PA I meant to post a verse that I read yesterday Blush. Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled. Luke 1:45 I hope it went well today, but irrespective of that, if God he as laid something on your heart you'll get there, even if it doesn't always seem likely.
Praying as I read through.

blackeyedsusan · 23/11/2011 07:37

good luck pa!

goodluck mr tinkerbell blue

still a miserable bugger suffering from a cold. all my glands are "up" I thought dd was up to going back to school but is still coughing so at least we don't have to go out. ds is tucked up on the sofa, coughing in a slightly higher tone.

Bluetinkerbell · 23/11/2011 08:52

thank you bes he went off already, has his test at 10am. He looked very confident. I so hope he passes today! we got our moving date yesterday Grin 10th of December, better continue with packing now

gingercurl · 23/11/2011 09:29

Praying your DH does well today, Blue.

Bluetinkerbell · 23/11/2011 13:28

:( he failed :( only one more attempt left for him to continue being a driving instructor... pfff
