DH has just pulled the handle off the small window in the kitchen whilst trying to close it at bedtime.

It still shuts but is not secure; our kitchen is at the front of the house as well.

So DH rang MHS to report it and has been told that someone will be here in 2 -3 hours

Fabulous that they are sorting out our security as soon as possible, but now we have to stay up till (possibly) 1am waiting for a rather grumpy workman who has been called out on an emergency at an ungodly hour! and we both have to leave for work at 7 30/ 7 45 tomorrow!

The dog is all confused as well as we had just put him to bed in the kitchen and now we have got him up again!

The kettle is on... better get the biccies out to placate the MHS man when he arrives...

Come on Pan -
You still have not answered my question -

'lots of civvies are left permanently at home with no spouse' - your words. In what circumstances then?

ah, stop dragging me back ll!!

I know it's bad form to cross-ref. to other threads but I did think it was the cod thing you were referring to....no, I like cod at times, but she DOES chuck out hurtful incendiary comments to posters who are entirely innocent. So when something like that thread happens, my degree of sympathy is pretty modest.

must be off.

You cannot explain your thoughts whatsoever and clearly do not have a clue what you are talking about.

Armed Forces repugnant? I suggest you take a long, hard look in the mirror.

OMGoodness!!

Ladies - Can I please congratulate you on your restraint and reasoning and eloquent posts made when faced with the idiotic ill informed comments made by Pan on this thread.

nell12 · 01/09/2008 17:49

Oh dear all, I am sorry for causing such an uprising

Thank you those of you who stood up for me and our combined situation as a "forces sweetheart" I am proud to know you all via Mumsnet and LL, I am very proud to know you personally; just move back to Pompey double time will you?

Just to let you know my dh (you know the one, he is a warmongerer, apparently) was vacuuming when I got home from work this afternoon and is about to bath our 3 y-o dd

GRarrrr, he is a real man

An update on the window; MHS have lost mislaid the paperwork (but of course!) and we are still waiting on a promised call back!

Once again, to everyone who has supported me / Married quarters/ our dh's/dw's/dp's on this thread THANK YOU

"No, it appears that families of men, and women who choose a career of killing other people around the world demand better service as a right than those people who choose something else" stated by Pan...........

Get a life Pan, no one joins up to kill people and very few do, what a rare breed you are............Thankfully!
