Thank you. I know that if all else fails, if everyone else falls away or lets me down, He will never let me down and is always there to catch me. But I know I am not alone, and you lot are here for me, and that is a GREAT source of comfort! As it says in Corinthians "If one member suffers, all suffer together with it; if one member is honoured, all rejoice together with it". That is truly how I feel we are with each other.

I've just had a long chat with M., our vicar and that has really helped.

Glad chat with M helped, am continuing to pray... ((((hugs))))

Keep talking, Mary ........

Then Sunday morning had a family rounders birthday fo my dsis who was 50yo then took ds1 to catch his bus to his sschool trip, then baked 2 cakes (yes 2) then did a bouncy castle party for dsis (yes 50yo) then went to her suprise birthday party!

So I am dead on my feet this morning, oops sorry its afternoon, my legs and arms are aching so much, I'm obviously unfit

Hi all,

sending sleep vibes CD for little P, DS has started sleeping less in the day but he is a little older (1 in three weeks )

Have both my boys with me today. DP is off work with a very nasty cold / flu thing. Bless him , it is his birthday today and he is feeling sad because he is poorly and there are no cards because there is no post

DO - Gaviscon, the magic medicine - hope it works for you

Mary - continuing to pray for you. Glad you enjoyed your friends day.

Had a fab weekend with my mum. The bungalow is very peaceful and we had a lovely time, pottering about and visiting some places we love.

CD - praying for Eva rose and thanks for the update on CC, thanks for asking about my HRT, I've been on them 26 years now, (through premature menopause) its just not working how its supposed to work, without giving too much embarrassing info away, must make an appointment with my doctor! how are you today?

Mary - Please please don't give up, you are doing sooooo well, and are an inspiration to us all, look how far you've come, and how much you've learnt, keep speaking with your spiritual mentor, she sounds good for you.

QofQ -

NQGU & Rosey - you both sound as if your sunday was as mad as mine, hope you enjoyed it

NSFN - hia, hope your energy levels have picked up

Right, I must go and exercise these legs AGAIN

podglet, so sorry for your dp having a rotton birthday, I sent my dsis virtual cards via e-mail - 'fun cards' if family could do that, maybe cheer him up, grr at postal strike prayers for dp's recovery

DO - Ah 'Gaviscon' my night time tipple

I'm not a minx . it was quite funny last night, just before we went to sleep, DH says "we've been at it like rabbits the last few days", I asked him if that was a problem "oh NO! not at all" (with a grin on his face)

QofQ -

what Suzy said

• sorry didn't mean to make you jealous......although it should be said I think we've done it more times in the last 3 weeks than we have in the over 7yrs since I fell pg with DS1

joking ? aside, , really pleased for you QOQ.
careful it doesn't lead to dc4 tho'

oh don't worry we're being extra careful lol. AND he's agreed to look into getting the snip

Glad things are so good for you QoQ, can hardly believe a few months ago we were praying about you moving out - thanking God for such a change in your circumstances.

btw, I posted on another thread for a namechanger some info that may be useful to you...

thanks panda - I had clicked on that thread and seen some interesting links .

I can't believe how much things have changed either - it's fantastic

evening all!!
Just to let you all know that I haven't fallen off the face of the earth - just been incredibly busy.
Am back at work now (eventually had 3.5 months off) but still taking the ads and tranqs. - anything to get me through.
Have managed to get back to church on my own with boys (mum did come with me for a couple of weeks) and am really enjoying it.
Getting on well with ex H - he's still living with his mum and dad and thats the way it will stay but at least we can go to the park etc. with the boys and we are on friendly terms!
Hopefully one day soon I will have time to look back over this thread to catch up with everyone - I have noticed a few new names and plenty of the old ones!!!!
God bless to all of you and your continued prayers would be much appreciated.

lovely to see you mtgaa. will continue to pray for you

mtgaa so glad you have shown up you've been on my mind for the last week. Just kept forgetting to ask everyone where you were or if anyone had heard from you.

Mary - you are not giving up!

Please can you pray my friend who I am supposed to be going on holiday with in just over two weeks. She went for a bowl biobsy today, went home then haemroaged. Collapsed in A & E and was taken into resus. They are pumping her full of fluids and blood and don't know if they are going to take her to theatre. Please pray for complete recovery. I was totally unaware till today that she had any problems at all and apparantly she has been bleeding since July and they have suspected bowel cancer.

Feel so guilty because she obviously thought i had enough problems without her telling me hers.

Just pray she gets better quickly please.

Lovely to 'see' you mtgaa and to hear that you are getting on ok.
NSFN, that is an awful thing for you and your friend to happen, let's pray she makes a full recovery and that you can still go on holiday together; where were you planning to go?
Mary, how are you now?
CD No reason why the nappies shouldn't have turned up today, there was no strike for the morning delivery but we didn't get anything either.
I didn't get a bottle of Gaviscon because I took a peppermint oil capsule yesterday, didn't cough once during the evening service and slept much better. So I will taken another one before bedtime and see how it goes.

DO we have just booked an all inclusive holiday to Turkey with my 2 eldest dd's my friend and her dd and her sil and her dd. The furthest i've ever been is France and thats driving so Turkey is going to be absolute luxury.

Just wanted to say "Hi"! i've been lying awake for the past hour or so, just quietly meditating (can you do noisy meditation? ), and allowing myself to feel God's healing touch. I went to church yesterday afternoon (its wonderful I've got my own key and can open it up when I feel like it!) and just sat there and cried. Just now, in the peace of the night though, I've been able to ask for healing and feel His love for me, which is a great step forward.

I've not yet been able to get back to studying - lack of sleep doesn't help! But i hope and pray it'll come. I know I need to keep going and that all this will make me stronger. Somehow this is part of God's will, I just can't see the bigger picture yet!

There's lots more I want to say, but at the moment I just want to feel His love for me, and atm putting down my feelings just stresses me out - forcing me to face up to things when I'm not ready to! I had a bit of a wobble last night when watching Doc Martin and someone told the Doc he thought the Doc had Aspergers!

NSFN - remembering your friend in my prayers, and you too mtgaa.

Thank you all SO much for the support you've given me! Please continue to pray for me, I will do the same for you all, my friends.
