It seems i'm the first. So this is me...

I'm 26 and have 3 girls aged 5, nearly 4 and nearly 1.

DH is in the navy and we are currently living on a married patch in redruth, cornwall. Though not for much longer. Due to the serious mining issues on the estate we are having to look for SSAFA (private rented in Redruth.

DH works on the Merlin's (helicopters) at culdrose and is an LAET.

Anybody else out there?

Hi there, my husband is an RAF officer too. We're currently living at High Wycombe but he's commuting to Benson every day now... I made a fuss about the house we were offered. Confused

It's lovely here, so I'm dreading moving and leaving the friends I've made in the last year (i.e. my bookclub/ wine-drinking/ cake-eating buddies!). I'm also 24 weeks pregnant with our first baby. A boy.

My son has just promoted to Sergeant. Just moved to a lovely house in Abingdon - now he'll probably be posted to Germany.
I'll miss my little grandson.

Hi majoriew - at least you'll be able to go out to germany and visit them - we were in Germany for a year and it was fab.
