BES has no computer at the moment and has sent me a very comprehensive list of prayers partners.
Rather than put this is the middle of an ongoing thread I thought it would be better to start a new thread, so all the names stay at the top.

amberlight - for her work supporting people with autism, and for health and happiness for her and her family.

BlackEyedSusan - for all that she has to juggle as a single mum, for ds who has ASD, dd who might have ASD and dyspraxia (waiting for appointments) and for her mum. Also for the computer to be mended

Bloomed- New year, fresh start

Cocoaleaves - for issues around the safety of her DS.

Colabottles64- struggling with infertility.

DancingUnicorn - new to the thread, most welcome

Dontbesilly - for strength as she grieves the loss of her dad, for her DD's school issues, and for Dont's recovery from a car accident. For DH and his recovery from a heart attack and finding her phone!

drspouse - for happiness and a warm welcome in her new church and for dcs

DutchOma - with gratitude for all she does to support people on this thread and elsewhere.

EddSimcox - for her dd, for her relationship with DP and her parents and her growing faith.

FaithLoveandHope - for her anxiety and depression to lift and for her to be able to avoid falling into despair and self-harm, and for her relationship with her DSD.

girlandboy- family and faith

Lissette-anxiety and thanks for lots of prayers for others on this thread.

MadHairDay - for her health, and those pesky lungs. For her friend.

Musicposy- CT scans, diagnosis and treatment, giving thanks that some progress with diagnosis has been made

Nickel- for church and her disability, and a friend moving on from DV

NoRoomForALittleOne - Giving thanks that he operation was successful. For freedom from pain and recovery.

Orchidflower1- for help with her anxiety and the relationship with her husband

PositiveAttitude - for her whole family, but especially her DD1 who has been depressed, her dgs who was born early and poorly, her mum and dad, her DH and his work. Above all, we pray for PA herself, who is always there for others when they need her, for her studies, and for a potential house-move.

QoF - for her relationship with her DH.

sadandanxious- for help with anxiety

StillSmallVoice MIL has an invasive malignant melanoma for dd and historical abuse investigation.

Praying for you and DS, Cocoa Flowers

Lissette · 04/07/2017 11:36

Amen to that Cocoaleaves. Praying you you and dc.

BlackeyedSusan · 04/07/2017 16:07

post school supermarket visit. meltdowns ahoy.

BlackeyedSusan · 04/07/2017 17:45

and before my last post there should have been a post saying that I was also praying cocoa, but it does not seem to have posted. I must have typed and not pressed post. derr. sorry.

BlackeyedSusan · 04/07/2017 22:58

did not attempt the supermarket given the attitude I got when he came out of school. transition day tomorrow, up early. manic shuttling from one school to another all day.

CocoaLeaves · 04/07/2017 23:23

Thank you Flowers he did as well as a small boy could.
I am struggling. I am being decimated by the other side. They don't have another argument.
I keep praying.

Prayers for you and your DC bes

Lissette · 05/07/2017 07:36

I think, dear Cocoa that you are assuming that the argument from the other side holds more weight, partially because it seems relentless. It doesn't hold more weight. Those who make the decisions on this are trained to take a rounded view.

Lissette · 05/07/2017 07:39

Yes, Bes I know the feeling a little. I think end of school year tiredness must be a factor too. Mine is currently off school: ' I'm bored' X 1,000,000!

BlackeyedSusan · 05/07/2017 09:51

phase 1 complete. ds at before school club. dd at secondary school.

phase 2 will be getting dd and getting back to get ds in 20 minutes.

BlackeyedSusan · 05/07/2017 09:56

phase 3 will be getting ds to my friends and dd to ex and me to secondary school.

phase 4 will be the reverse.

BlackeyedSusan · 05/07/2017 14:18

phase 2 about to be undertaken. it is all a bit hectic.

oh and I have forgotten to look up friends address.

CocoaLeaves · 05/07/2017 15:58

Good luck bes

Thank you Lissette Flowers I am keeping praying, I hope so.

BlackeyedSusan · 05/07/2017 16:28

currently in a pit stop.
phase 3 commences in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

BlackeyedSusan · 06/07/2017 10:14

someone is coming round to help. again. they are late. (great as I got to eat breakfast without guilt) but I need to go and dig out the stuff we need.

I also have a sen meeting for ds later and then the library.

tomorrow is sports day all morning and lunch then I will only get an hour before pick up. so full on this week.

BlackeyedSusan · 06/07/2017 14:58

shattered. I shall be flopping in the chair in the library, risking falling asleep on the computer.

EddSimcox · 07/07/2017 14:59

Catching up. Praying. Especially for cocoa and bes.

My long running relationship saga hits a new low this Sunday when we'll be telling the DC that we're going to have a trial separation. Just a couple of weeks for now, but it is devastating (necessary too). Your prayers would be very much appreciated.

Lissette · 07/07/2017 15:16

Oh, Edd. I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope the trial separation allows both of you time to assess. You will both be in my prayers.

BlackeyedSusan · 07/07/2017 17:30

oh dear. so sorry.

Dutchoma · 07/07/2017 18:03

Praying that the trial separation brings clarity to both of you.

CocoaLeaves · 08/07/2017 06:19

BlackeyedSusan · 08/07/2017 09:36

I am currently working on the plan to separate the money into mine and his.

I am berating him on the phone for spending all the money

cos the children and i live on fresh air obviously

DancingUnicorn · 08/07/2017 11:08

Sorry for not posting much. I am praying along as I read.

Praying for you and your family EDD. And praying that things are manageable bes.

Prayers for cocoa and don't and for everyone who needs a little extra something for the day.

I am still suffering from early pregnancy anxiety, but feel grateful that I am able to have the occasional good day.

BlackeyedSusan · 08/07/2017 12:35

so far I have enough to cover monthly bills, but not sure yet about car bills as they are a hell of a lot and I have not found the paperwork.

CocoaLeaves · 09/07/2017 13:33

Oh bes separate the finances, you and DC need money.

I have gone along thinking somehow I had things wrong, wanting to have things wrong, and now I don't think I do have them wrong.

BlackeyedSusan · 09/07/2017 17:50
