Happy Birthday to DippyNotsoBaby wow, a whole 3 years old!

Olivia, you're more than welcome, I am only the godmother but to be the parent must be twice as bad. I know my friend worries about him just like you. He will find his feet soon I have no doubt

Mary - prayers for DD too and for you xx

Bit of an eeek today I have applied for 2 internal positions at work. I need to get off the department I'm in and would desperately love a job in our household dept but am applying willy nilly at the moment so the powers that be see that I'm serious about moving prayers and fingers crossed would be lovely...

Happy Bank Holidays to everyone

DutchOma · 30/04/2010 21:50

A very late in the day Happy Birthday P. No doubt you are fast asleep in bed, (I should hope so young lady, even if you are 3)

We are back from a blissful week in Holland, had the most lovely weather all week, but a cracking thunderstorm in the night, and much cooler this morning.

teaandcakeplease · 30/04/2010 23:24

hello lovely ladies. Praying.

ZipadiSoozi · 01/05/2010 00:02

CD 0 sorry I am a minute overdue for birthday wishes for you mini dippies birthday! xxxxx

Littlefish · 01/05/2010 08:50

Hello ladies. I was here about 4 months ago asing for your prayers for my darling cousin. She is 18 and has germ cell ovarian cancer. She had a football sized tumour removed in December and has been having incredibly agressive chemo treatments every three weeks since then.

She has coped with the chemo with patience, humour and incredibly resiliance although it made her incredibly ill. So ill that she had to be hospitalised inbetween treatments .

Anyway, she had her final scan on Wednesday and yesterday, she and her dad went to see the consultant to find out the results. As far as I know, she will be told that either the cancer is gone, or it is still there. If it is still there, there is no further treatment available and she will die.

I'm sitting by the phone waiting to hear the news and dreading the outcome.

Please remember my family in your prayers at this difficult time.

Please pray too for her mum who, although estranged from our family is very much in my thoughts. She is 6 months pregnant with a much wanted baby 16 years after the birth of her last child! Now that's an age gap!

madhairday · 01/05/2010 09:51

Littlefish. Praying for your cousin, you and your whole family. Praying for some peace as you wait. x

Prayers continuing for all.

amberlight · 01/05/2010 11:05

Prayers continuing for everyone

ZipadiSoozi · 01/05/2010 11:32

Littlefish - prayers for your cousin and family xx

MrsCadwallader · 01/05/2010 11:58

Littlefish - prayers for your cousin, for you and for all of your family.

Prayers for all of you here too.

MrsCadwallader · 01/05/2010 15:19

Popping by again for a brief prayer request for my family. Same old, same old...... Feeling the pressure of the looming exams and poor DH is also under a lot of pressure at work (nothing wrong - just too much to do) which means that we are both struggling a bit. Add this to the fact that neither of us gets any 'down' time as we are basically working in shifts with the children - when he gets home, I work so he's on his own with them, and when he goes to work, I put down the textbooks and pick up the childcare!

We both feel very overstretched and while we both fully support each other in theory, in practice it is a constant juggling of priorities and we get times where we feel we are barely holding things together

Prayers please that we will, as individuals and as a couple, know and feel God's love and peace and be upheld by it until things calm down a bit! Also that we will be able to keep our boys happy during this time - I think they are sensing the strain a bit too.

Thanks xx

DutchOma · 01/05/2010 16:23

That must be really tough MrsC. I'm praying that over this weekend you feel your trust in the Lord growing enough to have a couple of hours "off" together as a family. I'm sure you all will feel better for it.

CaptainDippy · 01/05/2010 18:51

Zooooooming by with prayers for LittleFish's cousin - please let us know outcome when you can. Prayers for them all, especially your cousin, she must be in bits at the moment ....

Prayers appreciated for a friend on my April 2007 postnatal thread. Her three yr old is in hospital with Pneumonia and is very poorly. Had surgery today to insert chest drain and central line. Op went well, so only time will tell .... Keep them in your prayers at this time ..... Thank you

P's Party was ace today Bit nippy in the wind, but the sun was shining and we all enjoyed a picnic, run-around and pass-the-parcel on the beach Gave out wooden windmills as party favours, which went down really well Can't believe my baby is three!!

DS2 seems to be recovering and nobody else seems to have caught anything, so great relief! Bring on the baptism.

oliviacrumble · 01/05/2010 23:03

Prayers for all.

littlefish hope news is good.

Mary and prayers for poor dd.

It's so difficult to see them suffer, isn't it, and know exactly what you mean about meeting the families of bullies in church - two of the most regular attendees in our church have daughters who can be little madams!

Happy b'day cap'n's dd!

Littlefish · 02/05/2010 07:37

Woooooooooooo Hooooooooooo

I've heard from another family member that the news is wonderful!

Apparently the scan was all clear and the cancer is gone.

I can't belive it. It wasn't the news I was expecting to hear. I have spent the last 24 hours in tears of relief.

She has to go back in 2 months time, and is definitely not out of the woods yet, but I am just so thankful for the new chance she has been given.

Thank you for all your prayers. It seems that my stilted, awkward, intermittant prayers have combined with your powerful ones and been heard.

gherkinwithapurplemerkin · 02/05/2010 07:42

Littlefish - thrilled for you and yours to see your news. xxx

MaryBS · 02/05/2010 08:33

Littlefish, that's FANTASTIC news, praise God . All our prayers are heard, and yours are from the heart, where better place to come from?

Praying for all others here too...

DutchOma · 02/05/2010 08:36

Littlefish - a faith like a mustard seed, prayers that need the input of the Holy Spirit Who intercedes for us ... that's what at stake here.
All glory to God.

MrsCadwallader · 02/05/2010 08:39

Littlefish - that's wonderful news xx

PositiveAttitude · 02/05/2010 08:45

How wonderful!

Yaaaaay Littlefish! That's amazing news So happy xxxx

BrokenBananaTantrum · 02/05/2010 12:38

hello erm not really sure of the etiquette on here so would like to ask - can you ask for prayers for another poster if they have not speciffically(sp) asked for prayers?

PositiveAttitude · 02/05/2010 14:40

Hi BrokenBananaTantrum,
Not sure there is any etiquette. I dont know about it if there is, and am happy to prayer for ANYONE who needs it. Maybe if the poster you would like us to pray about would not want her details put on here, though, we can pray without details - God knows the details, we dont need to. BUT on the other hand, if she could be asked if she minded then we could pray more specifically.

Starting to pray anyway.
