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 ......

Oops, this is an education thread! Prayers to all with little ones starting a new step in their lives!

DutchOma · 05/09/2011 09:32

No, it isn't. It is a prayer thread and it is great to give thanks to God for answered prayer.

Also praying for all the children going back to school today and for all the little ones still waiting, especially the littlies, going to BIG school for the first time. My dgrands among them.

Helloooo

Quick help prayer - dc back to school today and I am having a major wobble - for them starting a new school, esp dd who was so nervous, and I miss my friends from the old school. So glad we're here, but it's so hard...

Praying for you BES.

I need to write a 1 paged essay about my personal vocation by Thursday, so I can have a formal chat with my vicar about pursuing training for ordination.

Praying for all....

Bluetinkerbell how exciting...haven't forgotten about meeting up - will fb you :)

thejaffacakesareonme · 05/09/2011 19:10

Prayers for everyone - so much going on at the moment.

Could I put in a prayer request too please? I'm 13 weeks pregnant and have just had my first scan and lots of blood taken for various tests. I'm really quite nervous about the test results. I just feel so aware that I'm that bit older this time and that things are statistically more likely to go pear shaped. Apologies for not mentioning the BFP on here earlier but I didn't want to mention it incase anyone I know in RL lurks on here.

DutchOma · 05/09/2011 20:03

Congratulations Jaffa on your pregnancy and praying that all will be well with little bean.

Caz how are you doing? You have been in my prayers a lot

Bluetinkerbell · 05/09/2011 21:44

mhd glad the kids enjoyed it at their new school! take your time to settle in! The shopping centre won't run away! Wink Enjoy tomorrow evening!

madhairday · 06/09/2011 12:30

Congratulations Jaffa! Will be praying for you.

Bluetinkerbell · 06/09/2011 12:55

MaryBS · 06/09/2011 20:55

Praying as I read through.

All returning to school today here. No uniform!! Grrrr!! Online delivery which stated in big red letters "free delivery within 7 working days!" Ordered on 22nd AUgust. Not arrived. Phoned yesterday - it was despatched on Monday!!!! Not happy!! Yes, the school use only one supplier, so could not just go into town for most of it. Ijust hope my DCs are not the only ones, I have fobbed them off reassured them nobody will have their new uniform yet!

DD1 starts a job today, too. Not what she wants long-term, but a job and some money coming in!

Have a good day everyone. Smile

SweetestThing · 07/09/2011 09:51

Prayers for all as I catch up. Hope all the school returns went well.

Radiotherapy finished yesterday, thank God. So relieved to have got through it, although the side-effects will continue and worsen for a couple of weeks. But just so happy not to have to go to hospital today!

gingercurl · 07/09/2011 10:28

ZipadiSoozi · 07/09/2011 11:04

Ooh thank you Sweetest, cake in my tum!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Positive for tomorrow! I expect another slice of cake tomorrow, or you can't have any of mine next week! Grin actually I have an early birthday party tonight, care of the twins and my dsis, lovely early celebrations.

Prayers please for my ds, complete meltdown, had his tutor review this morning which went brilliantly, all fantastic praise and well done Callum, expected grades A, B & C's. Then they gave him his GCSE results which he opened outside after the consultation and the results were nothing like predicted grades, Callum now very anti revision cause he said he tried so hard and got nothing for it! "Whats the Point" very down and depressed, his friends don't do any revision and get good marks, he's fed up cause he has worked hard for his, for a load of ...

Bless him, he has been so grown up this last year and has improved so much for this to send him the opposite way is not good for him.

He was tested to see if he was capable of taking exams with his SN and he was ok, but it looks like he has struggled, I am going into school now to see if there are anything inparticular they can suggest!

Sorry long post, but he is really distressed.

MaryBS · 07/09/2011 11:28

Happy Birthday Sweetest!

Thanks for asking about the holiday, BES. Things DID improve, tbtG, helped by some glorious weather at the end of the second week! :)
