And don't tell me that YOU've lost track of who's who

CaptainCaveman · 09/11/2008 12:35

Hello ladies! Never seem to get a moment to post anymore, wonder why that is ?

All good in the Cave-land. Praying that the recent flurry of viewings we've had since dropping the house price will result in a sale for us [seriously need a prayer emoticon here!]

We didn't go to church today - I can't trust ds1 not to go wild and run about. Usually not a problem but with it being rememberance service, I think we might have had some complaints!

Praise God, Oliver is now smiling away at us and has been now for about 4 days. Little tinker kept us waiting until he was 14 weeks old!!!!

ZipadiSuzy · 09/11/2008 14:59

Thank you god for our creator 'CD'

CC - Sooo pleased little chappie now smiling, little sausage keeping you waiting. I too kept away from church today, for same reason.

nowwearefour - welcome to the 'clicky bunch' sorry if it seems that way I'm sooz, dh and 3dc, yes very tiring arn't they congratulations and prayers for your nanny. (Is that 'nanny' as in grandmother or nanny as in child carer? tell me to mind my own business.

NSFN - Is your freezer defrosting today? - sorry, seriously, how are you?

CD - Congratulations on 6 hours 'solid' sleep! prayers it continues!

I had over 13 hours sleep on friday night, thinx me exhausted!

Hello to everyone else, and happy rainy sundays

DutchOma · 09/11/2008 17:55

Well done Suzy on 13 hours sleep.
Congratulations on O smiling CC.
NSFN, deary you're so hard on yourself, go sit in the sunshine of God's love and let Him 'melt' you.

JentlyDoesIt · 09/11/2008 20:54

Hello ladies, another one flying by with prayers for all...

CC - Hurrah on smiles!
CD - have a hug lovey
NSFN - Hug for you too.

MaryBS · 09/11/2008 21:49

I spoke to NSFN earlier, her internet has packed up, and she can't get on. She could do with some prayers, especially for tomorrow, when despite everything she is going to soldier on and go into work. So lots of prayers for her please...

As deadlines approach, I could do with some prayer, that I can keep on taking that one more step, can complete my coursework, and resist the urge to chuck the towel in (which always seems to happen when deadlines approach )

Praying for all those who feel low and perhaps not up to posting how they feel. For all those lurking and in need of prayer. For all those who feel they should be stronger, and for whatever reason, can't be. For all those cutting themselves off from God's love through a misguided sense of their own unworthiness. For all those with no-one to pray for them.

Lord we THANK you for your love...

amber32002 · 10/11/2008 07:16

Prayers for everyone as I read through. May the new week bring hope.

JentlyDoesIt · 10/11/2008 09:19

Lots of prayers for NSFN...

Prayers for your deadlines Mary may they not loom too large

Hello Amber how are you?

Please could you pray for us tomorrow? The DC's and I have appointments at Moorfields Eye hospital. Mine is just my annual check up and DD's is just the check up she will have every 4 months until she is 2 but DS's will hopefully be his last. If his eyes are fine tomorrow then he will hopefully be discharged from Moorfields care and therefore have escaped my eye condition. The condition I have either presents itself at birth or within the first 2 years. Whilst the hospital have managed to fit us in on the same day, they have put the DC's appointment at 9.45 am and mine at 3.45 pm which means a rush hour train into London and probably home again as well Prayers for strength and all to be well would be hugely appreciated. Thank you.

amber32002 · 10/11/2008 11:00

I'm ok thanks - just back from a very relaxing weekend, though straight into a huge pile of emails including people wanting to do a lot of meetings with me (eek) so I may need another weekend to get over today

Prayers aplenty for you, JentlyDoesIt, and for Mary's deadlines too. There's always a way to get through things, even if it's not clear how at the time...

ZipadiSuzy · 10/11/2008 11:34

ZipadiSuzy · 10/11/2008 11:36

You're right though. Had a lovely meeting this afternoon with an autism specialist but I know I'm going to be fast asleep later on when my brain catches up with how much work it's just had to do .

MaryBS · 11/11/2008 07:35

Have heard from NSFN. She has been signed off work for 2 weeks. Praying for the support she needs (and also that her internet problems get resolved).

Praying for all those who need support in difficult situations.
