got your email and replied with a copied and pasted version of what was going to go into the CATS (also realised that it says you can do a short message - not a huge one )

dutch - yes he does, of sorts.

The movie was good - no way the kids are watching it for ages!

Weegiemum · 08/10/2008 09:01

Just popping in - another HUGE vote for 'God of Surprises' - a fabulous book.
In the same vein, can also recommend Michael Mitton 'Restoring the Woven Cord', based around the Celtic saints. Also with exercises/reflections, which are very helpful.
And also david Adam 'Eye of the Eagle' which is a sereis of reflections on 'Be Thou My Vision', and he's also done one on St Patrick's Breastplate ('I bind unto myself today, the strong Name of the Trinity ...') which is also very good ....

Off for driving lesson, lunch with friend, meeting at college about the courses I need to finish off, reading for tomorrow and tea with another friend .....

How come my life has got busier now that I have less to do?

CaptainDippy · 08/10/2008 12:49

Hope driving lesson goes ok WM - very brave!!

Glad 1st session went ok SHR - prayed for you at our church Life Group last night

I'm ok - just had the survey done for the EPC report for the HIP for the house....hoping it's not too bad.

Trying to find the courage to call the local private school to see if they have any students who play the organ who would be able to play for DS3's Christening at the end of November. I have a phobia of making calls to people I don't know/calls to people I do know to arrange/ask for something........

CaptainDippy · 09/10/2008 11:32

Hope report is ok FAQ Praying for you - for courage and strength to make the call

Praying for you CD - did you ever get any meds to help with anxiety/panic? Hugs honey, I know how awfully debilitating and horrid those feelings can be (((((((CD)))))))

praying for you all, specifically your anxiety CD. I know too how debilitating it can be. xx

CaptainDippy · 09/10/2008 17:00

Thank you all I've been to a farm with a friend this pm (without girls) and told talked with her a little, she prayed for me too. It was good I am still feeling low & shaky; but there are moments of positivity too, if that makes any sense!!?

OP posts:
DutchOma · 09/10/2008 17:24

Hold on tight there Dippy, to the positives.
I'm off making dumplings

Swaliswan · 09/10/2008 17:32

Just a quick update and a bit of a selfish prayer request from me....

I'm 12 weeks pg today and so relieved to have gotten to this stage. I had some acupuncture on tuesday evening for the terrible sickness I've been having and it seems to be working wonders. The only thing is, I haven't heard from the midwife yet. I've phoned twice to chase and was told a couple of weeks ago that I would hear in a few days. After a week, I phoned again and explained that I'm not bothered about seeing the midwife, I just want my dating scan and to see a heartbeat/that everything is OK. The person I spoke to seemed to be lovely and understanding but I still haven't heard anything. I'm desperate for this scan and will admit that I won't feel settled about this pg until I have the scan. I was woken up 3 times by the phone this afternoon and was really annoyed that none of the calls were from the midwife!

Swaliswan · 09/10/2008 17:36

Oooooo, DO, dumplings! How lovely! I really fancy some herb ones or how about a nice peach cobbler?!

loonywoman · 09/10/2008 18:11

CD - my heart goes out to you. PLease go back to your doctor. I suffer from depression and major panic attacks. The dr put me on a drug called Cipralex and it really helped. Unfortunately, i cannot take it whilst pg and am really suffering from the panic attacks again. I can't wait until I get to 12 weeks and the dr will allow me to go onto some "safer" anti-depressants. I have got used to feeling "normal" on the tablets and really do not like being an emotional wreak again.

mufti · 09/10/2008 19:33

oh CD , GLAD IT WAS A GOOD time with your friend
btw, chatting to dumbledoresgirl on another thread, and i have been thinking of naswm, and where is she, knowing they kept in touch i asked DG, she tells me she is not good at all, can we all lift her up in prayer

amber32002 · 09/10/2008 19:47

Prayers for everyone as I read through each message.

So sorry I'm not contributing much on here - so much going on and can't really say what at the moment (not least son's broken foot and plaster cast). Just very tired and Mumsnet takes so much thinking about for me, as there's no pictures apart from the little smileys and my brain keeps refusing to read the text fully or work out who's who and what they said last time. I need to sit down and really think. More time soon, I hope...

Morning my lovelies. Yes another birth prayer request.

I have a really important meeting that I can't miss between 4.30pm and 6pm today. I have a client in early labour. I really really need her to not call before 6pm so I can make the meeting. What would be more than wonderful would be if she would give birth tonight as I have an amazing conference that I'm booked in to for tomorrow.

If I had to choose it would have to be the meeting tonight! (Even though I've been really looking forward to the Conference which will take a while to come round again).

And yes then I have a couple more due which I need to wait til next week and come separately (one of them is a twin birth).

Thank you! I know... I pop in and out and always with requests (and sometimes Prayers of Praise!)
