spoke too soon.

er aren't combats and lightweights the same thing? Had an affair with a bloke in the RMR many, many years ago. many.

Hi THE midwife Smile

kittyandthegoldenfontanelles · 04/03/2013 23:42

When I say affair I mean love affair not in the common parlance Blush

We were both very single.

starsandunicorns · 04/03/2013 23:53

Kitty combats are thicker material if brand new they are slighty water proof in that water can bead off them ( remmbers ctawling through very puddles on exeuise with my brand new ones ) though after a couple of washes that seems to stop plus combats have a extra linning up to the knees for warmth. They are in camflage colours.

Leightweights are olive green in colour thin cotten used mostly when doing normal work duties depending on your trade.

you wear them with green shirt and jumper and boot. You use twists or elesatic bands to make them look tidy over your boot.

If you work in a office or on a course you wear barrack dress

( if in army jail you dont wear twists or your beret)

starsandunicorns · 04/03/2013 23:54

Ohh kitty RM are hard core hehe

I had cough "fun" with a green jacket once Blush

kittyandthegoldenfontanelles · 05/03/2013 00:08

Wow there's a lot to it then... a trained eye would know what's what and who's who.

starsandunicorns · 05/03/2013 00:26

I will try to do a few links to show you

Though feel ever old as I joined the
W.R.A.C ( You did the same work as the men in your trade but you had differnt uniform and a green beret with differnt capbadge ) they were disbanded in 92 so depending what trade you were you joined that trade ie

You were a cook you became part of the Army Catering Corps

then in April 93 if you were a cook,postie,stores,driver who joined The RLC.

kittyandthegoldenfontanelles · 05/03/2013 00:38

What was your trade?

StairsInTheNight · 05/03/2013 00:43

Oh i like hearing about all your cool jobs with lambs humans etc. I work for HMG so can easily bore on about laws and legislation if you like? No? No takers really? Grin. Hi kitty, we were at Disneyworld for two weeks, fab sunshine and lots of swimming and walking. I made a resolution when there that i would be sorting out my fitness and diet on return, am out of shape and need to make it a priority. How is the boobmonster? Have read through the thread now, Trying to assimilate in Borgish manner :)

StairsInTheNight · 05/03/2013 00:47

i would like coffee and walnut cake please. Or actually i had a lovely toffee apple cake once. Was filled with apple jam, and thick toffee icing. Yum.

cafecito · 05/03/2013 00:48

So jealous Disneyworld.. sunshine.. affairs

cafecito · 05/03/2013 00:49

StairsInTheNight · 05/03/2013 00:53

yy affairs, where they pursue you romantically with staring and flowers and that dippy stomach feeling cafecico! :) speaking of which watched Anna Karenina on the plane out it was a wonderful film, made me cry!

cafecito · 05/03/2013 00:53

themidwife sorry to hear about your difficulties. I used to contemplate venturing onto the stately homes thread (I had a completely deranged mother) but never have, because I try and bury it under other stuff, but every so often you realise that actually, they've totally f*cked you up-

I've had therapy since I was a child (age 8)- I have this severely critical inner voice, directly resulting from my mother, all these totally abnormal set beliefs, all because of her, and also I believe I repeated my relationship with her, in my relationship with my exP. (abusive, controlling, etc)

It's only now, that I can stand back and say 'my god my 'issues' are all related to one another, and I can see how I have interlinked them all stemming back to events that happened before I was even born..

I don't blame her... but I know we will never get on, to the point where we cannot be in the same room for more than an hour.. and she often tells me she wishes I had died at birth Hmm totally mad, abusive, horrible, family background.

I think it can easily repeat in other aspects of life, Jungian-style..

gosh I am not selling myself am I, sound completely nuts Grin

kittyandthegoldenfontanelles · 05/03/2013 00:54

oh coffee and walnut is a given as that's my favourite too. Slurp. Grin

I need to overhaul my fitness too... I've made a start as I haven't had anything naughty tonight yet

The boobmonster is still boob obsessed, still gorgeous, still funny and currently asleep so I'm going to join her. No doubt I'll be back later. Smile

Glad you had a cracking time stairs

StairsInTheNight · 05/03/2013 00:55

i liked the sound of the stethoscope colour you chose, cafe. Violet blue. Lovely.

cafecito · 05/03/2013 00:57

Hmm there's a rather dashing ex RM chap on my course... had a thing.. it's over Blush
