Thank you Lord for such a wonderful person in Captain Dippy to be continually thoughtful to people she meets on this thread, so understanding and has enough on her OWN plate, but always there with advice and support.

Please Lord wrap her in your arms and take care of her as she embarks on this lovely part of her life, with her new lo (nearly) and of course the rest of the Dippys!

ZipadiSuzy · 29/04/2007 20:55

Hia CC, glad to hear DH's acceptance into the 'thought' of another lo, perhaps the 12month wait might come down abit when he gets used to the idea xxxxx

Hey Sooz, dh holding out for big family holiday to Florida next May - my folks have a time share out there so we get to go on the cheap. Ds will be 4 by then so should love all the Disney-do-dars (and tbh, we love it too!!). Am just v happy that the answer isn't no

oops gotta go, 24 is on!!

ThatBeetroot · 29/04/2007 21:00

Can you pray for my mother in law - Pat - she has cancer and is not at all well. thank you

notsofarnow · 29/04/2007 21:11

Well goodevening all.

After getting excited aboutlooking at that house the estate agents rang on fri to say that offer had been accepted on it, so thats that gone. It was very cheap because it was a reposession. You won't get anything else like that at that price.

Have decided to leave it 12 months when dd1 will have finished her GCSE's and dd2 will just be starting hers, and divorce will be through by then so will know financially exactly where I stand, plus another year to get all the little jobs done round here.

Nothing really to much else to report round here.

Going to big SA conference next w/e in Southport, gonna be good not been for about the last 6 yrs. Girls are camping on their own in a youth campsite.

If you want to know what roots is all about then have a look at www.rootsonline.org.uk

CaptainCaveman · 30/04/2007 07:28

Thinking of you all, especially ThatBeetroot, prayers for all you ask.

Notquitegrownup · 30/04/2007 07:44

Good morning all

Praying for you all, especially Beetroot, Klio and that Dippy Baby!

Life suddenly very very busy here. Your prayers for my dss would be much appreciated. They are both lively friendly little boys, but are having difficulty making - and keeping - friends. Prayers that they will learn to be more sensitive to others (they are 3 and 7!) and that the other kids will be patient with them in the meantime!

God bless all.

katzg · 30/04/2007 08:54

ok gonna try and keep up and join you all again so prayers for that please.

Just a slight correction to dippys round up dd2 has cutaneous mastocytosis not excema. Quite different skin conditions but then i doubt words make a lot of difference when praying, just praying that is stays as is or improves is all we can hope for. We're back for her dermatologists appointment on friday, so please prayer i remember to ask all the questions i want answers for!

PandaG · 30/04/2007 09:44

Thanks again CD for a fab round up.

ThatBeetroot(are you the Beetroot?) - will pray for your MIL.

NSFN - sorry to hear that the house has gone. Praying that you all have a fab time at the conference next weekend, and the God speaks to you, and your daughters also as they are at the youth camp.

Klio - praying for you and welcome to the thread.

Katz - good to see you back! I am now a breakfast member of S10, and was in the pool at 7am this morning - maybe see you there?

CD, praying that this baby will make an appearance soon, and that your DDs will be happy while you are in labour, and will accept their sibling quickly.

I must go, have an article to write for the church newsletter!

hi to all, adding my congrats to captaindippy , for the round-up.
keep checking for baby news...
had a good few days away , the toilet, and sink were in when we got back, but not the bath, and won't be till thursday, could get a bit whiffy , but dh asked my next door neighbour if i could have a bath there, i wouldn't have been so forward, but that was great this morning.

ZipadiSuzy · 30/04/2007 13:25

Mufti - (ROFL) I'd have died with embarrassment if my DH asked neighbours for me to have a bath, well done him!

mufti · 30/04/2007 15:24

i was mortified at first, i didn't go at the weekend in case she was there, but as she said it was ok in the day, and she's out at work all day, i thought well just once , and then i'll make do with washing at the sink till the baths in, and take ds in for one tomorrow. we all have shared access at the back, so at least i wasn't on the street in dhs dressing gown and wet hair!

ZipadiSuzy · 30/04/2007 15:41

CaptainCaveman · 30/04/2007 17:24
