MaryBS - go catch up on your holday want thread in UK Travel...

sorry! for thread Hijack!

mumtogusnalbie · 30/04/2007 20:26

how exciting - I can't wait for news on the Dippy baby front. Can almost feel Dippies contactions for her I am soooooo excited!!

Look after CD God as she brings another one of your precious children into the world - keep her and the LO safe.

Feeling a bit better myself today. I have sent off my licence application form so hopefully it will arrive in a couple of weeks which will give me just over a week to send the licence off with my speeding fine.

Praying for everyone

God Bless

CaptainCaveman · 30/04/2007 20:28

and something that sprung to mind at work today - we were talking about controlled drugs which we commonly refer to as CDs....I thought, I must tell CD about that!

ZipadiSuzy · 30/04/2007 20:37

CD - My prayers are with you, Lord please take care of our Dippy and family, good luck, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx sooooo excited

DutchOma · 30/04/2007 21:12

Praying...

notsofarnow · 30/04/2007 21:35

ahhhh a baby hopefully before the day is out.

Don't know what to do h hasn't been in contact since wed when he left here - its infuriating me that he hasn't rung to see how the dc are. So want to ring him just to say your dc are fine by the way but also don't want to do it bec I shouldn't have to he should care about them enough to ring.

roots (conference is only 4 days away) yippeee

MaryBS · 30/04/2007 21:40

No news as yet, I'm afraid...

NSFN - sorry H is being such a pain! I wouldn't bother contacting him unless the children want to. Don't feel you have to be responsible for him! Am praying for you!
BTW - does roots online have anything to do with "roots on the web"? Am glad you feel able to go to that, may you find strength and support while you are there!

notsofarnow · 30/04/2007 21:57

just looked at roots on the web mary, and the answer is no.

roots began as a very small conference in North Wales where the Holy Spirit had a field day and since then it has just grown and grown.

It moved to Southport I think the year after just using the theatre but over the last 6 years they now also use a huge big top, plus the theatre and have a huge kids/youth programme. I think The salvation Army bring so much revenue to Southport next w/e pontins is crammed packed full of us using it for accomodation and if you don't book your bed and breakfast the year before you don't stand a chance.

There are worship sessions, teaching seminars, after hours stuff it is pretty awsome stuff.

Gone on a bit there haven't I opps sorry.

MaryBS · 30/04/2007 22:01

Not at all, its fascinating! I love hearing about these sorts of things. I've never been to ANY sort of Christian festival at all, and some of them sound fantastic! Its difficult though with a DH who's not a Christian...

weirdbird · 30/04/2007 22:10

Ohhhh - Am praying CD, really hope its all going well

Another baby, its so exciting...

Hope there is some news soon!

ZipadiSuzy · 30/04/2007 22:30

NSFN - I'd leave the phone call unless the children ask for daddy, then dial the number and let them speak to him, sorry I don't know the age of your children! so I realise this might not be possible, but if they ask for him then I personally wouldn't ignore their request. I pray for you and your children, such times, sorry!

PandaG · 30/04/2007 23:06

praying for CD...oooh how exciting!

weirdbird · 30/04/2007 23:37

Off to bed, but will be back to check for news in the morning, CD you are in our prayers this bedtime!

CaptainDippy · 01/05/2007 02:28

MaryBS · 01/05/2007 06:14

I just checked my texts - seems MrCD beat me to it! Praise God and congratulations to the happy family!

notsofarnow · 01/05/2007 06:32

fandabbydozy - just got up for work and thought I've got to see if cds had her baby, couldn't wait till this evening to find out.

Well done dippy household. Now her spelling will go all to pot trying to type with one hand

notsofarnow · 01/05/2007 06:34

3 and 4 yr old's have said things like where my Daddy and Is he coming today but older two haven't mentioned him and when I asked if he had texted them they said no.

He could be lying dead somewhere or on the other hand enjoying himself somewhere - who knows. But it is increasingly bugging me that he's not bothered.

CaptainCaveman · 01/05/2007 06:54

WOW fantastic news, thanks MrDippy for letting us know
WELL DONE fellow Captain! ThankYou God for blessing the Dippys with another beautiful dd.

Any thoughts on a name?

thats made my day, I'm really chuffed for you all!!!! Feel like a proud aunty

MaryBS · 01/05/2007 07:01

NSFN - you don't know for definite that he isn't bothered. I'd still be tempted to write to him rather than phone. The written word can be so much more powerful than verbal, it can't be dismissed in the same way. If you do write to him, give yourself time to reflect on what you've written, and pray on it before sending. Because unlike the spoken word, it stays there!

God bless all! And REJOICE because CD has had her baby!

Lets fill this thread with lots of messages for her, so she'll have lots to read when she gets home (like she won't have anything else to do... )

DutchOma · 01/05/2007 07:28

Congratulations and blessings and thanks to God for his wonderful gift

PandaG · 01/05/2007 08:05

Wow, fantastic news Many congratulations Captain and Mr Dippy

Praise God for His wonderful gift

NSFN - so sorry to hear that H has not contacted the children. Praying for all your DC, that even if their earthly father isn't interested right now all of you will draw strength and comfort from your heavenly Father.

mumtogusnalbie · 01/05/2007 08:42

Congratulations to the Dippy family - another baby girl - God is Great isn't he?

lots of hugs and prayers for you as you start a new life with 3 precious children.

God Bless you all.
xxxx

NSFN - ignore him, get on with your own life and be as supportive as you can to your children. They will remember when they grow up that it was you that was always there for them. You can not force your H to care so it really isn't worth getting worked up over.
Give your kids a big cuddle and carry on with your life.
God Bless you as always.

mufti · 01/05/2007 08:42
