I will be at work when JS is home and youngest will be at school. Where do we fit in? It's me that's writen to him, sent parcels, kept up the praise, and now I feel like I've been kicked in the teeth.

Suzzie, Take a sickie, I would. You need the time with your Js and who's going to tell on you? Start feeling ill at the end of next week. xx

Hi DRFC,

I spoke to mine tonight, very upbeat, and really looking forward to the exercise weekend!

It will be a real culture shock for you! Our eldest went to Thailand for six months just before my JS went, our other seems to have moved in with her Boyfriend since our JS went (probably because she has no one to argue with) so we have gone from having a houseful, as they always had mates sleeping over, to none.

It is a bit weird, but I must admit I do enjoy not having to worry who I might bump into when I go to the loo in the night!

Hi seashellie, yes its going to be different, having had to plan around the kids all the time and now we can go off and do what we please. looking forward to the passing in parade and seeing our js only a couple of weeks to go now

Thats terrible Suzzie..... why has your hubbie allowed this?? im assuming you are still together?? surely you should do something as a family?? Hope you dont think im speaking out of turn but i would be angry if my husband did that.... its always us girls who do the writing and praising etc.... sorry lads if there are a few of you out there who do...lol

Suzzie, I agree with the others...take a sickie! You need to take time out with your js.

**suzzie** · 03-10-2009, 20:06

Thanks folks,
yes hubby and I are together, and I have told him that I would like to see js as well

havn't as yet spelt it out exactly how I'm feeling as I was hoping that he would take a hint! Also trying to convince myself that I'm over reacting, he's phoned his dad as it's been late and dad is on night's so up and about.But head says one thing and heart is feeling another.
So it's nice to know that you are behind me and not telling me to pull myself together :D
Cheers
Suzzie

I can feel a really sore throat coming on :D :D

Sounds good, But I have a son in year 10, although I am taking him out of school for the day to go to the parade, I can't take him out too much as he has exams this year. I'm working on the hubby send him on a guilt trip

Hi All
I really wish that someone at AFC would enforce the numbers that they stipulate, on previous occasions they have said figures only to allow extras. 1 parent for the open day, people turned with with families.... and on the day we left our little darlings, our ACO has said 4 only were allowed, again there were some with large numbers, now I understand that many JS have two families due to step family situation but why do the staff at AFC allow some extras and not others referring to the Passing in Parade, seems to have a lot of inconsistency.
Sorry for the gripe but when some are allowed more it does aggravate those that arent but I can see all points of view

Suzzie, post a comment on FB so he can see how feel, serve him right for being nosey

**vixtay** · 04-10-2009, 20:07

Haven't heard from my js for a few days...i sent him a mobile,-tracked it and it was signed for on the friday.....they haven't given it to him....why? i really don't know....he can't contact me without it...he text from another js's phone on the friday that's how i know he hasn't had it given to him...grrrrr..... :(

**Trigonometry** · 04-10-2009, 20:58

If that was this Friday just gone (02 Oct 09) then the likely hood is he will have received the notification that he has mail requiring a signature from the post bunk on Saturday, depending on what he was doing he may not have had the chance to get to the post bunk before it closes at midday. It doesnâ€™t open on Sunday so I would imagine he will pick it up on Monday. If this was however a previous Friday then he should contact the post bunk ASP to find out what is going on.

My js rang from another js phone(thanks to him) he said it has to have checks...for bombs etc...and that he should get it monday,which thinking about it,does make sense.
Thanks Trig.

**DRFC** · 06-10-2009, 14:35

Had a few pictures from my js last night, could only text as tired after the weekend excercise and has a kit inspection at some point today. The 16th is getting closer just hope the weather behaves on the day so the occassion isnt spoilt too much

Hi to all parents. I'm not sure everything was clear in the passing in parade information I got. I know we have to write a letter to give permission for their leave but didn't realise we had to for the leave a week Friday as attending the passing in parade then bringing our JS home. Have just had a call from him to say unless I write by the end of the week giving permission to come home a week Friday he won't be able too. Just for anyone else that hasn't written yet apparently you need to.
