Oh Mary! are YOU ok?

amber32002 · 27/10/2008 10:23

Oh Mary - hugs aplenty for you. Prayers that all will be well.

Notquitegrownup · 27/10/2008 10:24

Awww {{{{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Mary. It's a very female sort of accident -no-one was hurt - except dh's car. Poor you.

Just remember that men tend to cause major injuries when they have accidents. Women just dent metal, which can easily be mended - and you will be creating work for someone, in a recession too

(My mum reversed into a very large police car which had parked across their driveway once, in her only accident ever!!! !!!! She leapt out and told them off very roundly for ruining her clean driving record, after 40 years, by parking there! Fortunately they took her point and actually apologised, rather than arresting her!!)

MaryBS · 27/10/2008 10:59

I'm OK, not hurt, only this is the second time in a month . DH has forgiven me, just feel so STUPID though. He was shouting at me to stop, but I was in a world of my own, didn't hear him

CaptainDippy · 27/10/2008 11:34

As long as you weren't hurt Mary - that is the main thing. xx I drove our old car forwards into a lampost & backwards into our driveway wall last year I also got caught doing 11mph over the speed limit the week before last

DutchOma · 27/10/2008 11:53

Oh Mary, what a nightmare, so glad you are ok.

MaryBS · 27/10/2008 11:56

Yes, I am thanking God for SO many things - it could have been DH or the kids I ran over. Praise GOD it wasn't!

Morning Ladies,

Sorry that I've not been on for a few days. I've been having a bit of a rough time with sicknes and tiredness/dizziness. I'm starting to feel a bit down from still feeling ill and am not sure how I'm going to manage to go back to work next week when my certificate runs out. It's been great to come on here and read people being positive despite their hardship.

I've been meaning to say for a couple of days - Well done Mary! I knew that things would be OK on sunday.

CaptainDippy · 28/10/2008 13:40

Try not to think about next week just yet. Don't jump ahead of yourself. Just concentrate on the here & now - getting enough rest and getting yourself better. Thoughts & Prayers are with you sweetie. xx

Swaliswan · 28/10/2008 15:03

Something must be wrong. I managed to get myself out of the flat because DD really needs a hat and set of mitts. I went to Woolworths and whilst I was there I treated myself to some pick'n'mix which I keep fancying from time to time (will probably make me sick but I don't care!). Then I managed to nip into Sainsbury's and picked up a load of healthy things and now I'm sat here eating a bowl of shreddies and dried apricots instead of my pick'n'mix!

Just had a phone call from MIL, one of her friends' husband's sadly died about an hour ago He was a lovely Godly wonderful man and I feel so sad he is gone ; but so thrilled that he is in Heaven with God too He had been ill for sometime, so it is an end to suffering; but so sad for his wife and children, friends and family. Please pray for them. xx

Will do Dippy. How are you doing? P any better?

CaptainDippy · 28/10/2008 18:02

I have to say I am feeling brighter P is good, horrid cough, but sleeping better & a real cutie Dippyland is "hanging in there" How are you & Bob doing? xx

OP posts:
DutchOma · 28/10/2008 18:59

We're ok. Bob went to the ENT department this morning to see if they could do anything about his nose running all the time and they have given it a name "Vasomotor rhinitis" and a spray for him to use. I went to sit with Bob, while Margaret set up a Traidcraft table. he said I was one of the people he trusted, wasn't that sweet? Last time he told me to get lost.

ZipadiSuzy · 28/10/2008 22:46

DH came home from work in agony (from his fall out of loft off ladder at weekend) I called 999 and he was ambulanced to hospital, broken ribs! I've just got home, he's ok, they are keeping him in to try and find a pain killer that works for him, he's had morphine and 5 other tablets and the pain hasn't eased, (in spasms) left him all upset and worried about his finances being a sole trader! I've told him not to worry, everything will be ok, (secretly pooping miself) just hope he recovers quickly, doctor advised to be off work 6 weeks,

Please lord take care of dh tonight, and prayers the twins won't be as upset in the morning. Sorry, and prayers for ds1 to communicate his feelings.

Ooh and prayers I find a plumber to mend the leak in the loft that sent dh up there in the first place.

Sorry all me me me!

MaryBS · 29/10/2008 06:38

Aw Sooz! Praying for you all. I hope you all got some rest last night, and that DH heals well and isn't a "bad patient" for you.

DO - at Bob, that's an improvement, at least! Maybe its familiarity breeds contempt, he feels he trusts you enough that he can tell you to get lost on occasion

Prayin for that family CD

SS - Praying that you feel better soon. What a lovely thing to say about me . How can I doubt that I am doing God's will when He gets me over these hurdles? Lord I DO believe, help my unbelief?

We are off out for the day today, then down to London tonight, so won't be around for a few days. Will keep you all in my prayers.

We've had a busy couple of days in the garden, trimming back 4 years of growth, both from trees and ivy/crawling stuff that had grown all over the fences. Filled a whole skip! I am still shattered!
