Just a quick remind of kelly1978's situation.

She has a tough meeting coming up. So let's pray that it has the best outcome, that her DP gets the help and support that he needs, that Kelly eats and sleeps, that her children stay happy and secure

Thanks

Morning CD, Hope you start to wake up soon

Morning all, all well at my end, DD went back to school today and I seem to have found my lost motivation and have been busy, busy, busy. Lots more to do before 2.30 and I have to head of for school again....

Am still praying for you all, don't have time to list everyone/thing, but you are in my prayers.

DH and I are really enjoying our evenings of talking/praying trying to make a decision over what to do, we are going to try and make more of an effort to do so regularly.

Feeling at peace, I do love it when my soul is at rest.

Nanou1 · 20/09/2006 11:20

hi everybody! sorry have not been around but work has been very very busy - not complaining at all; it's nice to know what i am paid for . prayers all round. my pc seems to be playing up this morning; very irritating! aaagggghhhh will need to come back later.... have a good day all . computer really playing up now and can't seem to type...

MaryBS · 20/09/2006 13:53

Quick visit - praying for you all, in particular Kelly and her family.

With me and work, its a case of so far so good (thank you God!). I'm just creating BACS remittances which if I get 72013 of them and the totals I expect, then it all balances, and Praise God I can relax. Unfortunately it takes several hours to complete... if it goes wrong, it'll be like trying to find a needle in a haystack! The report I produce is over 2000 pages long!

morning all!

PandaG · 21/09/2006 11:46

Praying for the payroll Mary - I used to work in payroll for the Employment Service, so know a bit what you are feeling right now!

Harrisey, praying for your peace for the results.

nearlythree · 21/09/2006 12:47

Hi, everyone, sorry I've not been around for a few days but have been following this thread and remembering you in my prayers.

My friend who lost her ds is so much better than since I last posted. It's still a terrible situation but so nice to hear her feeling strong again. Thank you for your prayers.

Not so good about dh's friend, he only has a very short while. Dh visited him yesterday and is very upset.

We didn't get out, all three children have been unwell with colds but baby ds has needed antibiotics. As he will only settle for me we have stayed home; we are too tired from being up most of the night to enjoy it anyway. Am really annoyed as dd2 picked up the cold from toddler group, I knew I shouldn't have taken her.

Also a thanksgiving prayer, for our sponsored little girl Mary who lives in Kenya. Last year she failed very subject at school except agriculture and was kept down a year. This year she is doing well or very well in all subjects and has gone up a year. Please give thanks for this and for the World Vision project that is helping her and her community.

MaryBS · 21/09/2006 19:03

The payroll is getting there.... I'm so tired!

Sermon needs a bit more work, but that is getting there too...

texasrose · 21/09/2006 19:07

hi all,
hope you are having a good day! Yippee - the weekend approacheth!
Please say one for me and my darling kids - dh has gone off to see his best mate who lives in Australia for two and a half weeks. I'm not used to lone-parenting so please pray I'll manage! Also poor dd's excema is awful Her bottom is so bad, with open bleeding sores all over it, she can hardly sit down. It's all over her face too with sores and crusty bits everywhere (sorry if you're eating! not that you should be at the computer!!!) Please please pray for relief for her and that it will get better...poor little lamb!

harrisey · 21/09/2006 20:47

Got email from college - exam results not till Tuesday!!!!

Dh has gone away for 2 nights to work so I am also lone-parenting for a couple of days with kids on half term weekend!

Please pray for us all!

nearlythree · 21/09/2006 21:03

texasrose, poor dd. Praying for her, and for you.

Mary, praying you get the rest you need.

Harrisey, remembering you too.

longwaytogo · 21/09/2006 21:14

prayers for all those who have posted.

Feeling really down and fed up. Have had enough of being a parent this week DD no wetting at nursery and they not even noticing. She smelt wehn she came home today, says she wet while playing fishing game and whilst washing her spoon. So at best been wet since lunch time at worst since this morning.

Twiga · 21/09/2006 21:26

Hi all, not disapeared off the planet honest - sorry it's been so long. Will read down the thread once I'm more awake.

Things here not bad, although am flat out exhausted at the moment - not really sure why but just feel constantly tired, have been joining dd for her afternoon naps all this week and still feel rotten - sure it will pass!

Speaking of dd, she was one last thursday, can't believe where the year has gone. It's been the best year ever ! We went home to Aberdeen for the week and my parents came up too, had a family dinner along with dd's god-mother on her actual birthday, then had an open house on Saturday afternoon. Saturday was full house and hectic and dd was totally spoiled, it was fab to see a lot of our friends and catch up. It was soo good to get the week at home - our last 2 visits have been cut short due to funerals.

Dh has gone off to Edinburgh on a weekend course this evening so I'm feeling a bit at the prospect of the next 3 days on my own. Need to plan some fun stuff for dd and me - maybe a wee shopping trip Saturday !

Prayer requests would be just that I would find some energy from somewhere soon and also we're ttc just now and would love for things to happen soon - have been trying to be patient but running out rapidly as friend number 4 has now anounced she's expecting! God's timing will be perfect I'm sure!!!

Xavielli · 21/09/2006 21:28

Wooohoooo! Just won a makeover/free photo shoot at studio 64! Soooo excited! Praise God!
