Cross-posted with BES. Glad things are calm in the BES house tonight!

Everything's fine at the moment (as far as I know anyway!). I am now 14 weeks and doing ok although this week I have been feeling a bit mental. Mainly worrying about whether the baby is growing or not. I was being a bit unreasonably panicky I think.

We are also trying to buy a house at the moment which is proving to be a bit nightmarish. The bank keep requesting further surveys which keep coming up with more problems. Looks like we are going to have to go back to the vendors and see if they will drop the price by about £10,000.

Hello faith and dorothy

((hugs)) Blue I am pleased you have had a peaceful day remembering Sterre's birthday.

Prayers for MHD and Weegie, DO and Bob and I will join my prayers with yours for the very ill man, tuo

Thank you for all your prayers. DD1 has had a much better day and we have been able to chat through a few things. I have also just asked a friend from church to keep a bit of an eye on her while we are away and to take her under her wing a bit. DD1 agreed to this and I just pray that they will get on well and DD1 will have someone who she knows cares about her to go to if she is feeling down. Your prayers today have really lifted her, though. Thank you.

I have had a bit of a tough day here. Our minister had told someone else in our town that I would do something for him, that I disagreed with. I felt that I was being asked to do something deceitful and devious. BUT because the minister had said I would do it, I was in a bit of a sticky situation. ANyway, I took a deep breath and spoke to the other person involved who was lovely about it, although he now has to go back in front of his congregation and say that things are not as he had thought... my minister was really unhappy with me for refusing to do it!! Only another week to go!! Sorry, that probably doesn't make any sense to anyone. I am trying to not give too much away, or it would look really bad!!

I will shut up now.

Hello Faith.

also thinking about u all - welcome Faith :)

I seem to fight the urge to cry every 10 minutes today. No particular reason. Feeling unsettled generally

hugs hon xo do you have any worship music or dvd you can listen to might help lift you

oh momeraths....praying

did you know that if you tearr the wall of tyre it makes an interesting hiss noise?

Oh rwb are you ok?

Remember that happening once when I was a kid and my dad fighting to keep control of the car - nasty!! Hope you are coping ok!

LM has had a real knock tonight from the ExW and is reeling. So prayers for him. I have to be careful how much I say, so I do not out me or him but it's pretty despicable and I'm praying for justice and the court case to be over and done with soon, so hopefully she can no longer do this

Prayers DontstepontheMomeRaths. My brother had a really bad time with his ex and access to the children, I know how horrible it can be :(

I could do with prayers please, I could just do with some joy in my life, I seem to be bouncing from one problem to the next with no respite, and less and less bounce :(

Prayers for all, particularly those struggling with day-to-day living.

DD1 (who is 8) knows the verse about not letting the sun go down on your anger, it seems. She is orchestrating (in my mind) arguments at bedtime, getting upset and refusing to talk about it, then letting rip with all sorts of rage when I don't get upset/angry myself but try to be calm and sympathetic. And her idea of asking for something is: "Come back and put me to bed, properly this time."

Oh, and she did actually say, "You're not supposed to leave me at bedtime when I'm upset." One of her particular talents, telling me what to do, or how I do everything wrong.

Still, if you've got so many opinions, why save them up for adolescence?

oh tea.

lost grrr / whichever you prefer. my reply to stuff like that lost is... ONE. works a dream.. can't think why you don't try it [tongue in cheek emotion] omits to say it rarely works with ds hope you find something that works with dd.

as I was only going at 5mph backwards out of the garage I had no problem controlling it. who would have thought that there would be a bit of metal sticking out of the door frame... v expensive mistake! actually, i did have trouble controlling it otherwise I would not have driven into the door frame.

I am a bit stiff from changing the tyre... and have a nasty ear/sinus ache. it has been hanging around for a while but seems particularly annoying tonight. I am going to take painkillers and drink to bed just in case it s really bad in the morning.

reading and praying.

MIL is having surgery tomorrow, to remove a cancerous lump from her breast. Caught early, treated quickly, should be ok...but I am pretty wobbly. Please pray for her, and wisdom for us as to whether we should travel to go and visit. I think we should go down and back on Sat (3 hours each way) - DH is on duty on Sunday and DS has friends being baptised morning and evening on Sun. so would really like to be at church...DH not bothered about going but I think we should...

Faith all sorts of things go on here. Big things, little things. No thing unimportant to our God who has counted the hairs on our head.
Long way to go Lost from 8 to 18.
I would say:"I'm not angry, if you are, you'd better get out of it before bed time".
Did you ever find the "How to speak" book? It came too late for the arguments with my dd, but it still taught me a lot.
Prayers for Bes (now that the jubilee is over and for Mary. Not heard from you for a long time.

We are still struggling getting the help we need. GP said he would ring today and didn't. You can never speak to anybody at the surgery straight away, it always takes a day or two or even ten before they make the time to ring you back.
Bob needs a dental appointment to deal with a very loose plate and I have spent the morning ringing round to find out how to do it.

The man at the library is locating their copy for me! I'm looking forward to reading it. In the meantime, dd1 will be told tomorrow that, basically, persistent backchat/rudeness will result in loss of computer/TV time. In the past, you could almost hear her sigh of relief when strict boundaries were put in place. She won't take any responsibility for her actions. So like her father...

Not a good day for the GP, I suppose, DO, if they're striking? Hope they ring back sooner rather than later.

olympics do, olympics...

lost, having got thumped by ds earlier, when he was told no it as his sisters turn for tv.. I sympathise with that...

Dashing past at speed... it's late and I need to get into work early in the morning.

Just to say that you're all in my thoughts and prayers, and to tell you that the chap I mentioned seems miraculously to have been stabilised. He's still critically ill, but on Tuesday he was not expected to survive the night and today he's stable, thank God.

Prayers for everyone!

Prayers would be appreciated here too, DD1 isn't feeling very well, has a high temperature and will be taking her to doctor later, will make an appointment for me too to ask for some time off, as I have had a very stressful time at work and just can't deal with it any more.
I need to get through the next 2 weeks without too much stress and reach my 20 week scan with an alive baby...

Olympics? Oh yes, I think I've heard of that...

Prayers of thanks for TUO's chap in intensive care. Miracles do happen...

Lost once you have it from the library, you will want to keep it. I got mine from Amazon and lent it out, but it did not come back.

I would have understood about the GP not ringing because of the strike if I hadn't been specifically told by the (duty) GP I spoke to on Wednesday that I could speak to our own GP on Thursday. I know that we are a nuisance and a drain on their resources, but do they have to make it so obvious?
The request for the tin of thickener that the SALT was going to send had not arrived either, something else I need to chase up. As a request for another mouth spray because they don't last beyond a couple of days. And Bob does not sleep if he can't use it.

On the upside, two people are sitting with Bob this morning so I can go shopping.
And even more on the upside:the next two verses to our Bible reading yesterday were 2 Cor 4 16-18. Somehow I found that a tremendous encouragement dealing with the 'wasting away of our mortal bodies'

Prayers for all for strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow....
