I'm married to an RAF man and luckily he hasn't been away much since we got married. Our big thing at the mo is waiting for a bigger house as we've just had twins. The wait is so slow - over 6 months now and we know of three that are available.

We've painted and papered our walls .. just got to paint them back again after.

Married to a man in the RAF/ Have moved lots, most of my firiends are also married 'in'. But I'm not moving again. We do have out own house now (married for 18 years had this house for 6)

Only ever had one Mnetter who was rather rude and condesending to me due to my dh's choice of job.

Hardest part is making and then losing friends. DD has a good friend and she's posted back south at beg of june. not sure how dd will cope. as she's only three this will be first big loss.

No we have hardly had to move around although from speaking to my neighbour whos hubby is in the army. Army wives tend to move around whereas naval wives stay put while their hubbys go away.Martianbishop what did the they say cant believe that?

Hi all I'm a forces wife too and I too hate magnolia!! DH is in the RAF and so far we've moved every 2 years!!!

Blandmum · 22/04/2006 17:52

Don't want to go over old stuff, just assumptions were made on my views based on DH's job. Rather condecending. Off hand I can't remember who it was now.
