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.

Tunnocks - after the loss of her husband
Trazzletoes- for her young DS, Joe, who is having treatment at Great Ormond Street Hospital- bereavement, losing her DH

TUO - who has had to withdraw from the thread for a while through business in real life.

Zombie clan- remembering Candy and MummyLin

And also thinking of friends who haven't visited for a while, or who pop in only occasionally, including: abbsismyhero, ALittleFaith, Anjelica27, Aphie, applesandpears33, Badders123 Bluetinkerbell, clementineorange, CoolCarrie, DancingUnicorn, FlappysMammyAndPopeInExile guinessgirl (how is your friend?)HardyLeodicean itshappenedagain, Kaykat, JugglingFromHereToThere, ktef, LarrytheCucumber legohurtswhenyoustandonit,LifeOfBriony,LittleBootsTheBabe, Mary, originalmavis, ozymandiusking Pandora97, pklme SESthebrave shortscotty,SingaSong12 SparkyStars Sugarpiehoneyeye The Woollyback'sWife Weegiemum, ZippidiSoozi and others.

And, as always, prayers for anyone I've forgotten (with apologies), for all who lurk but don't post, and for newbies who may not have posted yet.

BlackeyedSusan · 01/09/2017 15:34

omgosh. we are still 1 year and two months away from getting our first appointment for autism assessment.

a two year wait for assessment.

Bloomed · 04/09/2017 21:43

Hello!I've moved but am finding life extremely lonely frightening and complicated. My health issues are causing some anxiety due to fears around being able to support myself etc. I don't have a proper internet connection as yet.

Dutchoma · 04/09/2017 21:55

Welcome Bloomed. I hope you will be in touch a bit more when your internet is up to scratch and you have settled in a bit. Moving to a new place can feel ver lonely, but we are a group that gives as much as is wanted. So tell us as much or as little about yourself and I hope you will feel a bit less lonely

urg...

first day of secondary school. I woke in the night and could not get back to sleep so functioning on very little.

Dutchoma · 05/09/2017 06:48

That was quite a short summer holiday for you then, wasn't it? Because you went on a week longer than the rest of us and now go back even before my grandchildren in Bcks, who go back tomorrow. I think the one in Northants goes back today.
I hope it all goes well and she has a super time.

OP posts:
Dutchoma · 05/09/2017 07:03

here.
Found this recommendation to deal with children's anxiety.

OP posts:
Lissette · 05/09/2017 07:13

bloomed I will pray for you of course. I know you moved to a new place and I hope you are getting good medical care there.

I seem to have a relapse of a medical issue first diagnosed many years ago but was in remission. It's caused by emotional stress. I think the difficulties with my parents have possibly triggered it despite my best efforts to calm down. I have a medical appt tomorrow for results and would appreciate being included in prayers too.

BlackeyedSusan · 05/09/2017 08:58

just short of 6 weeks holiday. all children do 190 days in school though so we will have gained somewhere else. Not so much this year though as two different schools means that I have to do an extra four school runs as the inset days are not the same, apart from the first.

Dutchoma · 05/09/2017 09:40

All extra stress you could do without. Prayers that it will all go well.

Prayers for you too Lissette.

Lissette · 05/09/2017 10:08

Thank you Dutchoma

You sound very busy Bes

Madhairday · 05/09/2017 11:41

Aaaagh just wrote long post and interbet went down.

Just to say prayers for you all, and coming home today Smile

Lissette · 05/09/2017 11:47

Oh good for you MHD. Hope you are feeling much better!

Bloomed · 05/09/2017 12:34

Thanks Lissette. I'm trying to do practical things like work out utilities but things feel 'big' to do. I hope you feel better soon

BlackeyedSusan · 05/09/2017 13:07

yay to coming home. I am going to take ds out to lunch. I slep for two hours so makes it a reasonable amount. still a bit tired but not that stomach ache making yawny achy tired. just normal tired noww Smile

BlackeyedSusan · 06/09/2017 07:11

ds goes back today.

then I hae supermarket trips to stock up on food, as things are getting short.

Lissette · 06/09/2017 12:00

I am apparently completely healthy. Thanks for the prayers!

Dutchoma · 06/09/2017 12:03

That's nice to know Lissette but if you feel awful it is not much help to be told you are imagining things. I do hope you will feel better with the reassurance, but don't take things further if you are not feeling well.

OP posts:
Lissette · 06/09/2017 12:25

Oh thank you Dutchoma! I have a prescription for a vitamin that I'm apparently deficient in. However the thyroid test results are in the middle of the range which is normal for me. I was told by the lovely doctor to come back if there are still issues. Feeling more relaxed and I'm allowed to exercise. Hope everyone else is okay.

BlackeyedSusan · 06/09/2017 17:04

fourth a and e trip since april. (throw in two hospital appointments as well) dd has broken her other arm.

Dutchoma · 06/09/2017 17:20

Oh that poor thing. At the beginning of a new school as well.

OP posts:
Lissette · 06/09/2017 20:41

Oh no Bes. Is she in a lot of pain?

BlackeyedSusan · 06/09/2017 21:52

it is very sore. I have to negotiate them giving her meds... I need to work out a way to do this as they usually do not do it, but she physically can not open anything one handed at present.
