M44 · 01/11/2008 16:07

DutchOma · 01/11/2008 17:18

Update on NASWM:- Ds1 is still in pain, but the drinking water supply was restored to them. Still no kitchen. Pray that it will be in place before Christmas.

JentlyDoesIt · 01/11/2008 20:11

Hi all,

Well, DS had an amazing day, he is a very lucky little boy (and I am a very lucky mummy!) the weather was horrid but we had some friends over and the children played really nicely indoors.

CD - glad you have had a better day

Sooz - hope DH continues to improve, sleep is a great healer.

prayers for NASWM DS1

Amber - oh my Goodness, that sounds like such fun, hope you were ok with it all. Did you see Jeremy Clarkson - I am SO in love wiht him and I think the Hamster is lovely too, and James - ok, I love Top Gear!

Hello to DO amd MJIM!

M44 - prayers for your DD too

MaryBS · 01/11/2008 20:15

Just wanted to say I'm back... we had a LOVELY day yesterday at Legoland. Their fireworks are FANTASTIC! So much so, we went again today - but it started pouring with rain lunchtime, so came home early.

Praying for all - maybe catch up later, but I have to write some prayers for tomorrow first...

Notquitegrownup · 01/11/2008 21:42

Evening all. Flying by.

Sooz - prayers that your dh will recover speedily and be able to work again soon. at you having to find £1 000 each month. Does dh have any insurance which covers him being off work at all? [hopeful emoticon] Or are you going to have to teach everyone in Nottinghamshire to swim? Seriously, it must be a very difficult time for you. Holding you in my thoughts and prayers. Do feel free to email, if you want to chat/scream about it all, off line.

God bless all.

ZipadiSuzy · 01/11/2008 23:49

SS - Praise God for the good you feel atm, and glad you are not feeling so nauseas.

Prayers for NAWSN ds, hope he recovers soon.

MJIM - at your strong faith, sounds a lovely place to be.

NQGU - Thanks for your support, I do have a few of dh duties to do, customers request me digging, (think not) dh laughing at me, prayers his mood stays, mines about to flop!

Prayers for a less rainy day tomorrow.

M44 · 02/11/2008 06:41

dd has a broken elbow-plastered from hand to top of arm-poor thing! Fracture clinics for her and blood tests for ds on weds to see if he has recovered his Hb- and yes before anyone asks I have changed my name.

amber32002 · 02/11/2008 11:29

Mary, glad you had a brilliant time.

Suzy, praying like mad for your finances to have some miraculous upturn and your DH to recover fast.

M44 - I'm absolutely no good at guessing who's who when they change their name, - (bloomin' Asperger syndrome) - but praying for your daughter. We have a horse and I've often been upside down in a ditch in the past thinking "Why...?!"

Prayers for NASWM's DS1 and that the kitchen will be in place ASAP

Jently, yes, all three presenters of Top Gear are there for the whole show. Very funny. I like James May best - he reminds me of me (well, except he's a bloke ) Excellent car show too. I survived it, so thank you to everyone.

CaptainDippy · 02/11/2008 11:51

Any more news Mary? xx

Hi again BB Continuing to pray for your sis, do pop back after Wed & let us know - hope everything is ok

Hello NSFN

Theatre was fab, need an early night, am exhausted!

MaryBS · 03/11/2008 19:43

DH is going to visit her tonight in hospital. They are supposed to be doing an Echocardiogram or something like that - not sure if that has taken place or whether she still has to have it. Will hopefully know more later.

Praying for your Dsis belgianbun

MaryBS · 03/11/2008 21:55

No more news on MIL apart from she wants to go home and they won't let her. Update on BIL - his brain tumour is a grade 3 - my SIL has been told "they won't grow old together". He is shortly due to finish radiotherapy, but won't know how successful its been until the brain has had chance to settle down again - so a 3 month wait before he can have an MRI scan

DutchOma · 04/11/2008 09:20

That's very hard on both counts, Mary. The uncertainty about your BIL's tumour and your MIL not knowing why they won't let her out. Bob has had echocardiograms, they are more revealing than ordinary EECs and not so invasive as an angiogram.
Prayers for all, this damp morning

Notquitegrownup · 04/11/2008 10:18

Good morning
Thinking of your MIL, BIL, and his wife, Mary. How

I think that OJ might appreciate our prayers link here

God bless all.

CaptainDippy · 04/11/2008 10:30

Oh, Mary Praying for light in these tough times. Hope all goes well with your MILs investigations & that the radiotherapy has had some good effect on your BIL - are they Christians? Thinking of them and of thw whole family. xx

Prayers for OJ. xx

DH away tonight , am feeling a bit yuk. I was sick this morning, but can't work out whether it is anxiety or illness. Let's just pray I get through tonight and tomorrow, DH will be back late evening tomorrow
