I've tried ice cream, yoghurt, chocolate etc I think as the back of her tongue is sore as well that it all hurts

I'll keep trying. Hubby finally made contact and said he'd come by later and help out.

CaptainDippy · 29/03/2010 18:01

BlueEyeshadow · 29/03/2010 18:44

That's good news CD. Praying for a good recovery.

Prayers continuing for you and your family tacp. And for all the other needs on here.

Mary I'd forgotten you were at that meet. Were you going by another board name at the time? We're doing ok and had the best night for ages last night.

DutchOma · 29/03/2010 19:37

Praisse the Lord for that Dippy.

MaryBS · 29/03/2010 19:50

Thank God CD!

BES, glad things are better - yes I was "Love the you you hide" then. Bit of a mouthful, but I was new to the board, and didn't realise how hard it was to get a name change . As soon as the amnesty came up, I changed it!

TACP, praying for an improvement all round...

madhairday · 29/03/2010 19:56

Thanks for prayers. I feel really almost emotionless at the moment. T was a dear friend. I can't believe she's just gone, you know?

Hermya321 · 29/03/2010 21:25

Great news CD

MHL I know what you mean, sometimes news like this needs a little bit of time to settle in. I'm praying for you at this difficult time though.

CaptainDippy · 30/03/2010 09:27

Morning

OP posts:
MaryBS · 30/03/2010 10:23

Waves at CD

MHD, its a normal part of grieving I guess. Praying for peace for you.

amberlight · 30/03/2010 16:30

Praying like mad for everyone

JentlyDoesIt · 30/03/2010 18:15

Hi all,

MHD - so sorry for your loss, please take time to look after yourself and grieve in your own way. xx

TACP - hope DD is a bit better asap and H arrives to help out a bit.

CD - Hurrah for Granny! xx How is she today?

DO - hello How's that sock?

Well, ahem, I did not go back to work today as we can currently add panic attacks and anemia (sp) to the mix which would explain why I am SO tired the whole time. Dr has put me on iron tabs and signed me off til after DP's trial. We are both really beginning to feel the strain now. DP met his QC yesterday who basically told him that if cannot remember any details from the night in question, then he is fighting a losing battle - not v helpful or encouraging really.

DutchOma · 30/03/2010 20:00

Oh Jently, I am so sorry about all the stress over the trial. What is the date? I shall put in a lot of prayer for you, mainly for peace of mind whatever happens.
The sock is coming along nicely, but it's very fiddly.
Going over now to the discussion of the MN Book of the Month.

Hermya321 · 30/03/2010 20:02

Guys I know this is a bit of an odd prayer. But we're trying to cancel mobile phone contract after sending back a phone. They have it down on their systems that I still have it (i don't), can you please pray that they find the phone tomorrow when they ring the warehouse. We can't really afford to have an extra out going at the moment what with DH and the no job thing.

Praying for you all!!!

Hermya321 · 31/03/2010 10:17

On the phone to the company, praise God in all his awesomeness that they found the phone. Now all is sorted!!!!

God is fantastic and he answers all our prayers!!! YAY!!!!

MaryBS · 31/03/2010 10:32

JDI Praying...

That's good news, Hermya

amberlight · 31/03/2010 10:33

Yay re phone!

Jently, lots of prayers for you right now.

Praying hard still for each of you. Please can I ask for prayers for E who's had really big surgery for cancer and it's not gone at all well. And for his wife, too, of course.

madhairday · 31/03/2010 12:36

Praying for you Jently, and amber, praying for E.

Good news Hermya.

Thanks for your support. The community is really in shock about it. So very sad.

Praying for 'History Maker' to get to No1, it's doing well in the charts.

teaandcakeplease · 31/03/2010 20:24

So I thought my DD was starting to get better and I've only gone and knocked the scab off her tongue, where it was healing, when helping her clean her teeth She now keeps whimpering.

I am sooo tired and now I feel like I am back to square one again I kept trying not to cry when putting her to bed, as I am so tired and I am needing a good nights sleep.

Her tonsillitis is improving with the antibiotics though.

Please pray for sleep tonight as I'm on my own again, with no help.

Praying ladies for all your things too x

PositiveAttitude · 31/03/2010 20:53

Evening ladies,

Hermya ? Good news on the phone yay!!!

JDI ? Not "met" but prayers for you and the situation you are in.

CD ? How is granny doing?

MHD ? Prayers for comfort for you and everyone touched by this terrible shock.

Amber ? prayers for "E" and family

TACP ? Prayers aplenty. And hugs too. I know these are just words and you dont "know" me, but I have felt regular "nudges" to pray for you over the past few days. God is with you. Praying for a good nights sleep for you and DD.

DD4 is having surgery tomorrow on the mainland. 5am start for the boat. Please pray for a good nights sleep, cos I normally dont sleep, worrying that I wont wake in time for the boat. Then end up exhausted after a day at the hospital. Oh and also that the surgery goes well. Many thanks.

roslily · 31/03/2010 21:26

Hi ladies.

I have been feeling so much better and clear headed. I feel inspired to pray, every morning. I don't know whether it is the prayer, but thank you. I feel like this cloud is lifting.

teaandcakeplease · 31/03/2010 21:37

Thank you PA I need the hugs and your lovely words made me feel so much better.

Will I ever persuade my DD to sleep in her own bed again after this? she likes being in my room with me so much right now.

teaandcakeplease · 01/04/2010 08:52

Morning!

My DD slept really well last night but she doesn't want to sleep in her own bedroom anymore, so that is my next hurdle. Persuading her back into her own room. She is still on the mend and my injury to her tongue was obviously not quite as bad as I feared (alternatively all your praying healed it). So thank you very much for your prayers.

I'm pushing the button on divorce. Maybe my hubby will finally come to his senses and end affair? Probably not though I suspect. But I can't do this anymore. Is that wrong?

On a lighter note my mum is coming to see me today.

DutchOma · 01/04/2010 09:33

tacp Thank God for a good night's sleep, don't worry about her sleeping in her own room for now, just take comfort from it. Eventually she may well go back of her own accord, she most certainly will when she is a teenager
No, I don't think you are wrong to push for divorce, but don't do it with the idea he might "come to his senses" If he doesn't want to choose you over the OW of his own accord, because he loves you, you will always live with the mistrust and probably with him sneaking off too.
PA Prayers for dd4 and her operation. You'll be at the hospital now, so prayers that all goes well and you are not too tired.
Roslily (I love your name), so glad you are finding your way back to the Lord, there is no bigger comfort in the world.
Prayers and blessing for all.

Hermya321 · 01/04/2010 11:13

TACP I'll keep praying for you and your situation. Keep trusting in God, he'll get you through it.
