I thought chat threads only got deleted if no one posted on them?

I have to say CD that sounds like the beginning of labour to me!

Glad you are ok! Do we have a system so you can let us know when it happens?

CaptainDippy · 26/04/2007 11:20

Not sure WB (re: chat threads btw) .....

I really hope it is the beginning of labour; but don't want to get my hopes up, iykwim!!? Just feeling a bit hormonal and fed-up, silly thing that I am!!

I am planning on texting Mary if / when anything starts happening (unless I am stil capable of posting); but will definitely text her asap when I have had the baby so all you guys can know!!

How's wee Hannah doing? ... and your other gorgeous girlie?? (Soooo sorry, her name escapes me .... ....)

ZipadiSuzy · 26/04/2007 14:42

Arggghhh! just been to notts on the bus, my parents took us, kids were diabolically behaved till we saw a policeman, I asked if he would tell the twins that they must hold our hands or they would get lost, the policeman was really nice, he put his helmet on DS, well instant results, held hands for the rest of our visit, but its ages since I have been in crowds, agraphobia springs to my mind, couldn't wait to get home, anyway, mum and dad bought the twins shoes which was a great help, DD decided to have a meltdown on the bus, and DS now home is sreaming something about playdough, I just want to run away! kiddy stress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Notquitegrownup · 26/04/2007 14:47

Help! Harrisey, you might know this!

In the book I'm reading, it asserts that Exodus 17:6

"I will be standing there in front of you on the rock at Horeb. Strike the rock, and water will come out of it, so that the people may drink.? Moses did so, in the sight of the elders of Israel."

is telling the same story as Numbers 20:7-11

"The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: Take the staff, and assemble the congregation, you and your brother Aaron, and command the rock before their eyes to yield its water. Thus you shall bring water out of the rock for them; thus you shall provide drink for the congregation and their livestock.
So Moses took the staff from before the Lord, as he had commanded him. Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said to them, ?Listen, you rebels, shall we bring water for you out of this rock?? Then Moses lifted up his hand and struck the rock twice with his staff; water came out abundantly, and the congregation and their livestock drank. "

Elsewhere I've seen these as 2 separate stories. If they are the same account, then I need to rewrite my essay!

notsofarnow · 26/04/2007 20:57

mary you don't need to write another essay just put in there that there is conflicting evidence as to whether these are seperate or the same stories, back up your comments with references. Thats the trouble with the bible no 'actually' knows or actually one person does and its just one of those questions we are going to have to ask in heaven

Ok prayer request because I know you guys are so good at it. I've seen a house that is up for a bargain of a price bec its a repossesion now until yesterday I hadn't really given moving any serious thought but if I could sell mine (like really quickly) I could put an offer on this one and the mortgage would be cheaper, and we would be closer to church network.

so a few obsacles really,

1}because its building society owned they will not accept an offer until yours is sold

2)If I put this on the market and the other house goes there isn't very often anything available for the right price

  1. I haven't even mentioned it to h yet

So i am very much of the thinking that what will be will be but it would make h seeing the children so, so much easier, I would be closer to church network etc etc.

roseylea · 26/04/2007 21:05

Evenin' all!
