Thread: Parent - Advice and Chat in here.

The parent thread due to its popularity has become too large to manage.

Here is your shiny new thread to get stuck into.

The old thread can be found here!

Enjoy

erm, wat were we all talking bout?

*looks around the room*
*likes the decor*
*yep think I'll take a seat*

Well somersetlady did you ever think when you set this thread up it would become this popular?? All credit to you...you set up something that many of us have used, and will continue to use, when we feel stressed out by "our little soldiers", when we we are glowing with pride because of their achievements and as a fabulous resource for info.

Long may it continue, as will our friendship xxx

Good choice 1down so that will be a couple of cases of champagne then. :D

Hmm now thats got me thinking about a Christmas get together... possibly a little difficult to organise though due to people living so far apart but if anyone has any ideas then PM me. It would be good to catch up with some old faces and meet some of the newer ones too xx

Just popped in with the chocolate biscuits and cream cakes. Will bring the mini bar in later.
I didnt realise how big and popular this forum could be. I have had so much support thru the tough times ive had so far, spoke to some really nice people and met some nice people e.g jellybaby123, tracemac and medicineman. Would love to meet more people like them and i am sure i will.

Thanks again to all
Good luck to all your JS'S weather going through phase1 or pphase 2.

What a job it was getting in here! I had to bribe the bouncers on the door but they eventually let me in.
A bit sparsely populated though. In fact it echoes a bit.
Still, once we get the sofas arranged around the coffee table and a nice roaring log fire I'm sure we'll get more interest.

If anyone is making a brew i would love one, i like custard creams with mine but hurry up as the Grand Prix is about to start!!

Loosescrew. Going back to one of your posts on the previous string. It frightens the life out of me thinking that my JS might change his mind and want to come out of the Army. Theres absoloutely nothing for him within our village or the surrounding areas. Even myself, working for the MOD, my job is under threat and there are no more jobs to step into.

He has been so set on an army career since he was about 6. Although he hated me being in the army and thats why i left. He hated mummy leaving him for weeks/months at a time.

We used to laugh and say we would buy him a suitcase and put money in it for his 16th birthday so he could leave home, and we did! LOL Although we didnt put money in the suitcase, i couldnt believe how much we had to spend to kit him up for Harrogate.

Oooooh lovely i could eat a whole packet to myself. Hence thats why i am allways on a diet! I am determind to loose at least three stone in time for the passing out parade. I want to be a slinky mum in her new hat! ha ha

Hi All, Well here we are on this lovely new site!!! I am joining you for the biscuits!!! Well my JS seems still alittle confused about things. Really do not know what is going on in his head. He is staying at another JS house this weekend. Which is great, a BIG thankyou to them. We are going up next weekend to see him in the Parade. I am really looking forward to seeing that.
