ANY OTHER FORCES WIVES OUT THERE?

Just been chatting with 3andnomore on another thread and wondered if there are any more of us on mumsnet who would like a chat and a comforting moan? I am on my own atm - hubby away for 4 months, and would love to swap 'home alone with the kids' stories - good and bad, and also a good gossip about the other wives we are left with! A much safer outlet for frustration than the hive!

Let's use LOADS of TLAs (that's three letter abbreviations to you unititiated civvies lurking on here...)

munz · 06/02/2007 18:58

might be good yes - I suppose most things can be pretty easy for us to work out given the context?

Interested in this thread?

I'm sure the boys just use them to make themselves sound good! Yes, am dreading the enormous PTL (post-tour leave)...

munz · 06/02/2007 19:04

yes but is v v cheeky the cheeky little men! I had a good mind to get out of the car and say erm excuse me! lol.

naturally I came home and asked DH to ring teh guard room and tell them there was some horrid little recruits (sorry I hate the word sprog) loitering around the med centre and they should be moved on/agi'ed but DH told me not to be so silly and if they cuaght me speeding (which I might add i've v careful not to) then the car would have to be left at teh bottom of black lane cos the CO is fussy about speeding on camp. more ot the point i'd get another 3 points for speeding

Good morning! How are we all this morning? Twoplusone - only 1 sleep to go I am trying to get bloody car tax for our cars and having loads of hassle and now the insurance on one has expired and althoguh we've renewed it in traditional cyp style the paperwork hasn't come through!! AAARRRGGGHH but apart from that life is quite good.

The sun has come out and it's stopped raining

DD came home yesterdsay and announced she is a tree in her Pre School play next Wednesday!! I asked her what she had to do she said stand very still and not say anything - stupid question really! She's happy particularily because the play is on her birthday

How many children have you all got? I have 2 and when DH gets home we are planning to go for number 3! I'm supposed to be making an appt to see my GP to get my coil taken out while he's away but I haven't plucked up the courage yet!

Laura - where abouts r u in cornwall?

My dh is Navy also. He is based at culdrose but we live on the Redruth married patch.

We're one of the lucky ones as have been here 5 years. Dh doesn't really get posted as he works on the merlins. Although, obviously he has to do his sea time, when it comes up.

We have 3 girls 4, 3 and 7 months.

I feel for those of you who get moved around a lot.

Laura032004 · 07/02/2007 09:14

pinkdolly - We're in Helston, on the quarters patch opposite Flambards. What sqn is your DH on? Mine has just left 824.

2+1, I think you will have to ask the admin office - have you tried armynet though?

Dh said he will go to the office when he gets back as he will have more joy at sorting the prob out than I will ..

Good news.. he is back between 2 and 4pm
