Hey peeps.

Please could you pray for my family as DP and I have just split up.

Thinking of you all

God Bless xx

PandaG · 20/08/2007 12:24

Xavielli - lovely to see you but so sorry to hear your news. Will indeed pray for you and your family. Please let us know if there is anything specific we can pray. xx

ZipadiSuzy · 20/08/2007 14:44

harrisey - prayers for your dh, hope he gets a good rest and returns rejuvinated!

xav - so sorry to hear of your split with dh, prayers for strength to get through this next stage of your life, is it for good, any chance of a reconciliation? prayers in some big decisions being made.

Dippyland - Hia, {{{{{{{waves madly}}}}}}}

Just taken the twins swimming, I think I must be hyperactive today, although I', flagging now {{{{pant pant}}}}

Think a nod on the sofa might be looming and cbeebies for the kiddies

CaptainCaveman · 20/08/2007 20:07

Hello! Did you miss me?
Been mad busy and have just caught up with the thread. Praise God for Peter's new heart - how is he doing now?

Welcome back Sooz, we missed you! Mary went white water rafting at Holme Pierrepont and I met her and her family in the Goose at Gamston for lunch. So now I've met you and Mary! They are all lovely too.

Just been in the Isle of Man for 4 days with dh and ds, had a FABBO time and got home 11pm last night. Tired out today though! Ds was a bit freaked out by Castle Rushen and screamed til I took him out. Think the life sized models scare him.

Random question of the day from ds last night:
ds - mummy, why don't snails have any hands?
me - because God made them that way
ds - well how will they eat their food without hands?
me - go to sleep dear....

ZipadiSuzy · 20/08/2007 20:16

Gosh Mary!!!! are you a thrill seeker, 'white water rafting' {{{{{{mouth on floor}}}}}

You brave person!!!!!!!!!!!

CC - Hia, glad you enjoyed your mini break, its sooooo good to be back on line, I'm furious with the computer repair place, they were supposed to back all my details up, but they didn't and I lost everything: photos, documents, licences, etc etc..............

That will teach me a BIG lesson, especially on the photo side, (the last 3 years worth) boo hoo

ZipadiSuzy · 20/08/2007 20:17

The Goose at Gamston is only 10 minutes away from our house! shame I couldn't meet up with you all!

DutchOma · 20/08/2007 20:19

Soozy, that is devastating. I don't know what I would do if I lost all my photos, I must back them onto CD, thanks for the warning, I'm going to get a writable CD tomorrow.

CC snails don't need hands to eat, heaven knew that they would be quite ruinous enough eating all my plants without hands.. and knife and fork, thank you. You can tell ds so from me!

notsofarnow · 20/08/2007 21:12

xav so sorry you and dh have split up. Has recently happened to me so if you want someone to talk to then email me - ask if you wnat my email hun.

notsofarnow · 20/08/2007 21:25

xav just did a quick search and noticed that this time last year you were around loads on the prayer thread but that this year you have only been on briefly a few times. Hve missed you hun. Just want to let you know that we are here to help you whatever has gone wrong.

Again just re emphasising email me hun here's email anyway kath dot harry at hotmail dot co dot uk

harrisey · 21/08/2007 00:31

Xavielle so sad to hear your news. What can we do (as well as pray) to help you at this tough time?

harrisey · 21/08/2007 00:32

Respect!!!

harrisey · 21/08/2007 00:33

btw mw adn dh are comin gdown to eng-er-land in sept!
Going to a civil partnership do in B'ham then to Swansea to see my db. Are any of u en route? Would love to say hi if you are!

CaptainCaveman · 21/08/2007 02:10

Depends which way you come Harrisey but myself and Sooz are in Nottingham, you'd be most welcome here

Can't believe I'm awake at this hour, I'm knackered but have been tossing and turning and eventually had a panic attack. So, have got up and made a hot drink until I've chilled out a bit. Praying this passes soon and that I wake later feeling refreshed. Currently feeling dreadful , sick, anxious, cold and clammy. Please God help me.

harrisey · 21/08/2007 08:31

I've woken up this morning with a migraine again. They seem to be getting worse recently - used to just get them with my period but they are certainly happening more often than that these days. Kids off to school (ds looks so sweet running out for the bus with his big sister) and waiting for our fab nanny to come and take dd2 out swimming so I can go back to bed. Its owwch. Please pray its better by teatime or I am going to have an awful evening, cos dh is away.

DutchOma · 21/08/2007 08:34

Harrisey, We are in Northampton, just off the M1 Junction 15, 15A and 16 I believe, but not being a driver I'm never very sure.
Very welcome to drop in if you like.

CC, how are you this morning, pet. Sorry I wasn't awake when you were.
Are your mum and niece still with you?
Hope you have a good day
With love to all

Roseylea · 21/08/2007 08:35

Hi CCM! {{hugs}}} to you. I hope you feel better today and manage to get some rest to make up for your lost sleep.

Xav - so sorry to hear your news. Do let us know if there's anything we can do / pray for specifically. May God wrap you in his arms of love.

Harrissey hello! How's your dh? Has he gone away for his work atm? Is he on a different med now? I'd love to meet you so let me know when you are coming "down south" and I could come up to Brum to meet up...?

Hi Sooz! Lovely to have you back!

I'm not feeling great today - there is a "family cold" doing the rounds atm and I seem to have caught it - yuk. My parents have both had it for 4 weeks now so it's a persistent little blighter! I feel like I might be heading towards a Crohns flare-up as well, so please pray for God's healing touch. Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Roseylea · 21/08/2007 08:36

Hi Harrissey and DO! {{waves!}}

notsofarnow · 21/08/2007 09:37

ugh to migraine harrisey but to a nanny to take lo out.

xav still praying hun

Have any of you visited theprayergarden.com have only had a quick skip through but will definately be revisiting when I haven't got screaming, whinging toddlers with a teenager winding them up. aghhhhhhhhh

Right should go and get dressed and get them dressed I guess.

PandaG · 21/08/2007 10:23

MOrning all - just a quick visit as 5 children here. Dear friends move tomorrow, to what God has called them to, so it is fab, but I am very sad as will miss them very much, they live on the same road and we have spent a lot of time together over the last 18 months. . They will only be an hour away but it is so far compared to a few doors.

Praying for you Xav, and for your DH Harrisey.

How are you feeling this morning CCM and Harrisey?

PandaG · 21/08/2007 10:23

meant how are you feeling Rosey?

CaptainCaveman · 21/08/2007 11:03

Pooh, just typed out a message and lost it!
Feeling a little better but still stressed and v.tired. Spoke to my manager first thing and I'm seeing her later to talk about my workload. I'm definately doing too much at the min as covering for a colleague who's off sick.
Also, read a book over the weekend called 'Damaged' about an 8 year old who had been abused for most of her life until she was taken in to care. Given my past history it probably wasn't the most sensible thing to read!! Hey ho, things will settle I'm sure.

I would love to be curled up next to the fire with a good book and a cup of hot chocolate, chilling out and relaxing. If only I could relax!!!
Please pray for peace and serenity to come my way, and that I can drink in the peace of Jesus. Amen.

onlyjoking9329 · 21/08/2007 11:09

thankyou folks for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers.

ZipadiSuzy · 21/08/2007 13:03

Good morning all, oh sorry afternoon now, I am shattered after my mamouth energy level yesterday [little weed] I cleaned my kitchen after karate and swimming! today so far we must have played 4 board games, been fishing, remote control car racing........... think I will be pleased to go to work tonight for a well earned rest!!!

CC - I'm sorry you're under the weather, I hope you can find some strength to manage the day without another panic attack, I note your 'early' in the morning postings, you must be so tired! If there is anything I can do, I am always free if you want to come and visit for the day, I tooooo like hot chocolate, only with 2 sugars though, yummy! sounds like you have been through soooo much, prayers for peace in your life and for your dsis and dneic. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.

Roseylea - Thank you for welcoming me back, I feel like a new girl again! Prayers for your horrible cold and hope the chrohns doesn't flair up again, is it a predictable thing, cold then chrohns?

Hia everyone else hope you have a lovely day, solid white overcast day again in notts, although did turn nice for a couple of hours yesterday. Pooooooooh!

podglet · 21/08/2007 15:18

Hi all,

ZipadiSuzy - what a lovely gesture to send flowers to the library lady, I am sure she will love that what lovely sunny posts too, made me smile!

CC - hope you are feeling better today and that your workload has been reduced. Before DS, I had a stressful job and they kept adding to my workload until I couldn't take any more so I do know what you are going through. Am making you a virtual hot choc, with just the smallest brandy in it (medicinal of course)

Welcome back rosey

Am hoping you can spare prayers for me. We are currently trying to buy a house and are within a cat's whisker of exchange (after nearly 3 months ) we have just found out that there is no consent for the extension - the council have to give a special consent for works to be done to ex local authority houses. The EA's and solicitors seem to be chasing their tales so I have spent an awful few hours trying to track it down. My solicitor has just had a go at me for doing this (even though she told me I could try and get it) and told me to stop interfering how dare I interfere in a house I intend to own??? Am shocked and saddened by her attitude over sojmething she could have resolved weeks ago. DP isn't helping because he is threatening to pull out on Friday if we haven't exchanged. There is nothing more I can do and I somehow feel this is all my fault for not picking up on it sooner. Soryr to tamble and I know it is trivial compared to some people's problems but I need your thoughts...
