Thank you Dippy and thank you all for your prayers for Bob and me.

amber32002 · 09/05/2008 11:55

Oh goodness, I do need to update these things a bit, don't I - goodness known where my brain has been recently

Bishop visit went ok-ish. SD was excellent in it, but I was totally exhausted afterwards. Had to go home and sleep. SD's mum has died, but peacefully. Friend now out of hospital but waiting for big operation so prayers still needed there...

Credit card - we're waiting to hear from the card company. We think they're sorting it out, but will have to see what happens with the next statement.

CaptainDippy · 09/05/2008 12:05

It is a pleasure, DO

Thank you for the update, Amber

Going swimming with DD's this afternoon, taking a friend from churches DD to help and taking my BF and her youngest too. They are all coming back for tea afterwards as well; so need to go and check I actually have enouh food in my house to feed them. ....

podglet · 09/05/2008 17:13

Thank you Dippy - it will help me focus on my prayers and the people in them

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. We have friends over both tomorrow and Sunday. It's so lovely to be able to see people and have them to the house rather than in the flat where it was much easier to go out.

Lulumama · 09/05/2008 18:10

just popped back to say thank you for your prayers, it is 2 weeks today that we lost and buried our grandmother, i spent a week with mum and dad and made sure mum was ok, the jewish laws of mourning are quite stringent, so i made sure everything was taken care of at mum;s house.. she is doing ok

i would like to say that these words from captaincaveman

"Praying for your grandma lulu, may God see her weariness and bring her home peacefully." are just beautiful, and i keep thinking of them, and i really thing god did hear, and she died so peacefully and quickly... so i cannot thank you enough and the words are so lovely...i keep thinking of them, instead of focusing on her having passed away.

thank you . i will remember you all in my prayers too, x

I lost my shop job today

OP posts:
bobsmum · 09/05/2008 20:15

Evening all!!

Sorry to hear about your job CD - hope something even better comes your way soon.

Thank you for all your prayers before, during and after Martha's birth. It really couldn't have gone better - all my fears and panics came to nothing.

And I have a deliciously wonderful little girl who snuffles and squeaks and nuzzles. She feeds wonderfully, sleeps loads ( but not at night yet!!) and it feels life she's been with us for ever, even though it's only been 10 days!

Dh goes back to work on Monday after just over a week off. My mum's taking a week off work to stay next week, so that'll be a big help.

dd1 has got over her ear infection, but seems to be having times in the day when she's possibly jealous - not sure - but she was really sad today and couldn't say why.

Ds is doing well and loving being the biggest brother. He was assessed by the speech therapist on Wed and we're waiting back for the results of that. I haven't heard from the Ed Psych since I cancelled the home assessment visit the other week - I hope we don't get lost in the system along the way.

Off to find chocolate....

Swaliswan · 09/05/2008 20:20

Hi Everyone.

Thanks for the new thread CD. Just to update people, my pleuritic pain is much improved and I've even started a new running programme ready for the 'race for life' in July.

If I may request some prayer, please could people pray for me and DH. We've come a long way since DH came back from Iraq almost a year ago but I think that we still have a long way to go. I completely lost it with him earlier over a combination of small things. I don't know quite what is wrong or how to make things better. We still need the Lord to hold us in His hands and heal our marriage completely.

I had an interview this morning about starting an NVQ 3 so that I can become a senior health care assistant. I was accepted on to the course which is great. All I have to do now is find the time to do the studying. I'm not sure how I'm going to cope. I am really excited but incredibly nervous and worried at the same time.

Mmmmmm .... chocolate! Great to "see" you BM. Glad everything is going well with your new addition - have you had our post yet?? Glad DD1's ear infection seems to have cleared up, poor little thing with her "I don't know why I am sad" moment, she'll get used to her in no time, I'm sure. xx Great that DS is doing ok too - perhaps it might be worth giving whoever deals with the assesments etc a call on Mon, just to be sure you don't 'slip through the system'!!?

OP posts:
bobsmum · 09/05/2008 20:26

CD - post arrived a couple of days ago . Need to get organised with thank you cards etc.

Managed to forget ds was at an after school club yesterday and couldn't understand why he wasn't on the school bus home. Baby brain dribbling outta ma ears!!!

CaptainDippy · 09/05/2008 20:37

Gosh that is very young (your FIL) MJIM

DutchOma · 09/05/2008 20:40

Congratulations SS about being accepted on the course. God will be right behind you in all you attempt to do for Him.
Sorry to hear about the difficulties between you and dh. Did he try to get some help? I know he ws thinking about it, but then he had a lot of time away again iirc?

Sorry to hear about the shop job CD. Didn't know you still had one, bad Oma .
How is the other one going?

Good to see you Bobsmum, you have such a treasure there, as does darling Podglet. I now have a diary for all the MN birthdays and anniversaries as they come along.

Will pray MJIM. Poor man

OP posts:
Swaliswan · 09/05/2008 20:50

Ladies, please will you all pray really hard for CVQ. I've only just realised everything that she has gone through and it is very similar to something that I went through a few years ago. I know better than most people just how much prayer she needs.

CaptainDippy · 09/05/2008 20:56

Thank you for the reminder SS. Yes, we all need to pray for CVQ as she faces a confusing and difficult time ahead.
