Wow CD House looks good, don't be scared of a garden challenge, we took on a house with this

see the lots and lots of photos of our garden with its Gnome Houses and 50 tons of concrete and absolutely no grass to play on!before we started

after quite a lot of work now it looks like the somme

Wow it has grassdoesnt it look different

Still have some work left to do, but we have done it all ourselves, though less so me in the last few months.

Oh and I have to show you the link to this, it was on our bedroom wall, plaster cherubs, painted, pink orange and blue did I mention the ceiling was barbie pink?

sleepysooz · 08/09/2006 20:51

Computer has been unwell for a few days so alot to catch up on!

Brilliant news for you nanou1!
maryBS - yes everythings going ok with twins sleeping in own bed and bedroom! only have to get up about 5 times a night now! yes thats an improvement!

My problem is now my dh that keeps me awake snoring! he has slept downstairs for the last 3 years so I am shattered. Sorry I mean because of his snoring!

Please help me pray that I get a good nights sleep I don't know how much longer I can go without sleep, I only get 4 hours a night! [yawn]

longwaytogo · 08/09/2006 20:55

don't think i going to get much chance to post in laws are here for the w/e which is fine.

Went shopping today and can see this is going to be really hard, everything I looked at had wheat in it, especially everything that could go in packed lunches and at £1.97 for a loaf of wheat free bread.

Not going to be ale to start this until I can get some more information on wheat free foods me thinks, will look at that link now though thanks nanau.

weirdbird · 08/09/2006 21:02

Great news nanou1, so please for you, hope you are celebrating this evening!

Continuing to pray for DG, hope Gods peace is with her and her family, also for her DH at home with the kids having to be so far away.

Xavielli - Praying you feel fine in the morning, that it will pass quickly xx

longwaytogo - It may seem overwhelming to start with but I know there are websites and BB like this one dedicated to people having to cut out wheat, egg, dairy.

There is normally a good section in the supermarket, but also remember that all fruit & Veg is easy to make and completely fine.
Also the local health food shop will be very good and will probably stock more variety.

Not sure if it has egg in, but there is a brilliant dairy free ice cream that tastes just like the real thing for treats and the provamol desserts are pretty good, well the chocolate and vanilla ones are anyway!

My DD was dairy intolerant till she was about 2 so know that side of it well

weirdbird · 08/09/2006 21:04

Thinking of wheat free friends

rice cakes,

Do Corn tortilla wraps have wheat in?

Can they take in soup?

Will ask my MiL what she has for lunch at work as she is wheat free

CaptainDippy · 08/09/2006 21:06

Thanks for the pics weirdbird - you give me hope!! PMSL @ "Gnome Garden" - Who the heck did you buy this house from??? Bet they were old!!

Xavielli - thank you for the link, praying hard for poor Nicky Strength to her Lord!!

Glad things are improving sleepysooz - praying that sleep would lengthen and improve honey. [hugs]

Hope your weekend with the in-laws is ok lwtg - "free from" food is expensive I'm afraid Unfortunate, but true - hope it does your DD some good though, would be so amazing to get to the bottom of her problems, wouldn't it?? [hugs]

I neeeeeeeeeeeed to go to bed - exhausted. Off now .....

Night Night - Sweet Dreams and all that. Lots of Love and Prayers. xxxx

Right brill link nanau1 thanks for that that makes life a bit easier, currently she is eating a twirl - me thinks that has to stop when she goes dairy free, but her big cousin has just arrived and given it to her [bless]

MarsLady · 08/09/2006 23:48

I haven't read down too far but please pray for kelly1978 She's become a really good friend on the multiple threads. From all the posts that she has made about her family you can "see" that they are a loving family. She has tried everything to find help and support for her son. Please keep this on your daily prayer list. She sounds so devestated. I've never seen her post so despondently.

MaryBS · 09/09/2006 06:05

The 5am thunderbolt:

I've had a particular verse from Luke that I CAN'T get out of my mind. About 5am, it came to me THIS is why I am becoming a reader.

Luke 7:47 first half of the verse: "Therefore I tell you, her sins, which were many, have been forgiven; hence she has shown great love".

I'm in tears - literally! Full of the love and the mercy of God!

MaryBS · 09/09/2006 06:06

And Marslady, I wasn't ignoring your post. I have been praying for Kelly and her family. God please send some sanity to the people that are dealing with this.

naswm · 09/09/2006 06:59

Morning all. Just been catching up. Lots to read and take in....

MarySB - :D
Nanou1 - I know you wont see this to Monday, but you know I am :D for you!
BIG prayers for Kelly1978
LWTG - I have some leaflets somewhere re wheat free foods. I will try to dig them out.
Xavielli - hope you are feeling better
weirdbird - Love the pics!

CaptainDippy · 09/09/2006 11:06

Feeling v.tired today, but nice having DH around.

Have you started the diet with your DD yet lwtg?? Hope it goes ok - thinking and praying ....

Mars - we are all remembering Kelly in our thoughts and prayers, I am sure - What an awful situation to be in. I am following her thread, even if I am not posting regularly, I just don't really know what to say, poor thing. So much love to her and her family. xxxxx Wherabouts does she live, if you don't mind telling me??

@ your verse MaryBS - I love revelational moments like that - we are forgiven, we are redeemed. Thank you for sharing and reminding us of this wonderful news - may we all share in the joy of being forgiven, once and for all time.

Praying for your DS' naswm - praying DS2 gets better soon, poor little mite and that DS1 manages to get some rest/sleep through all the disruption. xxxx

How is everyone else doing?

Thoughts, Love, Prayers and [hugs] to all. xxxx

longwaytogo · 09/09/2006 16:32

Oh aye so you did, sorry blonde moment. Not a good day!!

MaryBS · 09/09/2006 17:13

Podmog - as a matter of interest, whereabouts in the country do you live? Just checking the bounds of credibility, but whilst on holiday I met a vicar who was about to move to Beeston, Nottingham.

Talking of vicars, PLEASE tell me I didn't just send ours an email telling him he was provocative and tarty... ... I dreamed it, right?

CaptainDippy · 09/09/2006 18:03
