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.

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.

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.

Edd Flowers I'm so sorry. It's no wonder you feel sick. Praying for strength and for comfort in all this storm.

Jools Flowers

BES Flowers

Dutchoma · 20/10/2017 18:10

Praying for you all.

BlackeyedSusan · 20/10/2017 19:57

dd is screaming and jumping everytime the hoover is put on.

CocoaIsGone · 20/10/2017 21:32

MHD I have read that just now and it has made me cry , in a good way for your kind thoughtfulness. Thank you. It is what is needed.
I am praying and thinking on that reading too now.

Edd thoughts and prayers for you and your family, may the separation be as smooth, respectful and compassionate as possible on both sides Flowers

Prayers for you too Jools and everyone else in need of God’s love and healing.

bes do you have ear defenders for DD? It actually works for DS if he can put his ear defenders on and do the hoovering himself. He copes better with noise if he causes it Grin That said, there are times I just have to brush as he cannot cope at all with the noise, tiredness and other things make it work.

Prayers for all Flowers

CocoaIsGone · 20/10/2017 21:32

work = worse

EddSimcox · 20/10/2017 22:03

We’re supposed to be ‘friends’ but I can’t stop crying and she just ignores me. It’s like she’s turned into a heartless machine.
Even though being together has been shit for ages now I don’t know how to survive this.

Dutchoma · 20/10/2017 22:23

How did the children react? Your new found faith has made you more sensitive, she may have become harder, or maybe you notice it more now?

OP posts:
BlackeyedSusan · 20/10/2017 23:29

and she is probably heartless as she is hurting and needs to protect herself.

Madhairday · 20/10/2017 23:36

Oh Edd. I'm so sad to think of you crying there. Sending very unmumsnetty hugs for you. You have my prayers, too. And God's arms around you... Flowers

EddSimcox · 21/10/2017 21:58

We haven't done it still. Though the DC know we've been in separate rooms and have seen me tearful all the time the last few days so they know something's up. The plan is to just separate our lives but stay living together with the DC so it's the least disruptive possible for them. I can't stop crying when DP is here though I am calmer when she's out. Its really very hard doing the family stuff together. She's out tonight so I'm going to bed early, haven't slept properly in days.

CocoaIsGone · 21/10/2017 22:17

Oh Edd I am not sure I could keep living together, or whether that really is best for DC if you are so distressed. I pray time gives you some clarity and healing Flowers

BlackeyedSusan · 22/10/2017 18:55

about to do the school run for ds. (yep it is sunday) sensory overload and hunger hell...

eek.

BlackeyedSusan · 24/10/2017 00:28

Dutchoma · 24/10/2017 07:06

Madhairday · 24/10/2017 08:48

Prayers for today, BES Flowers

I've got a ruddy chest infection. Feel utterly rubbish. Prayer would be fab. Have dmum staying while dh away but tbh I have to look after her now, still lovely to have her but feel so poorly. Gah.

Dutchoma · 24/10/2017 10:54

Prayers for you too MHD. Not long until dh is home now.

OP posts:
MyGuideJools · 26/10/2017 20:48

Prayers for everyone suffering.

Please pray for DS who is so down after splitting with his girlfriend. He's been so sad & doesn't seem to be able to come to terms with it.🌷

BlackeyedSusan · 26/10/2017 23:47

heating engineer coming tomorrow. really hate people coming into the house. furniture is all stacked at one end of the room, including dd;s bed the sofa nd my makeshift bed on the floor. bloody nightmare.

the dressing up box and washing stuff in front of the radiator is now stacked up in towers.

Dutchoma · 27/10/2017 07:25

Prayers BES. This heating engineer has been a lng time in the coming.

OP posts:
BlackeyedSusan · 27/10/2017 15:44

radiators installed. now need someone to come and sort out the boiler as the pump has gone.

got to clean up as well. the bath was filthy as the radiators were fill of gunk.

Dutchoma · 27/10/2017 17:13

That’s unlucky, about the pump. And radiator gunk can be hard to shift.

OP posts:
CocoaXx · 28/10/2017 07:59

Oh Jools your poor DS, after everything else. Was this his first serious relationship? I will certainly pray for him. How are you doing yourself?

bes my boiler is an on-going saga, I think it has had everything replaced in its time and I just pray each winter it will make it through.

Prayers all around Flowers I am thinking of everyone who has posted past and present and praying that you are surrounded by God’s love.

MyGuideJools · 28/10/2017 08:32

cocoa thank you Flowers yes his first real love. They've been together 3 years and she's finished with him twice then changed her mindConfused this is final this time. He's devasted and moping around the house. All this on top of losing his only grandad last month.
I'm OK, good and bad days. I am missing dad so much & thinking about Xmas feels me with dread this year.

CocoaXx · 30/10/2017 07:05

Yes, I am not surprised it is hard Jools Flowers Lots of changes and loss, which you cannot change. Your DS has a good, kind and caring mum. I will keep praying for you and him to come through this.

BlackeyedSusan · 30/10/2017 14:45

oh hell it gets worse.

meeting with school tomorrow.

truing to get a dr's appointment for ds tomorrow. i missed it today while trying to get school to implement a safety plan for ds given he has had a crisis in health/asd

and I have lost dd's school shirts. probably at her dad's was going to go and do a wash there to wash them but too late now and I have to get the children and rdeal with school and after school meltdowns.
