Hello Sweetie, sorry it's taken me so long to reply; I've been a bit shit at keeping up with all my SG friends lately.

Thank you for your kind words of support; it's not easy but I can already see that time does heal so at least now I have a little bit of hope for the future. I've actually watched a few funny DVD's today, which I've been unable to do until now so things are definitely looking up.

Oooooo, I know about the whole military gossip bollocks; was brought up in my teens on a naval estate during the gulf war and beyond. Still live in a very military area, and I drive a cab on occasion. You can imagine the high levels of shit I'm told on an almost daily basis! Oh, plus cabbies are also worse than fish-wives!

I hope you get the promotion darling; you deserve it.

Incidentally, my lil bro joined the Army in August 2006 aged 16 - went to AFC in Harrogate for a while, then up to Catterick, and he's just moved out to Paderborn last week. They're just waiting for him to turn 18 in June so they can ship him out to Afghanistan. He's just a baby; it breaks my heart. Dunno why I told you that; it's not like you're gonna know him but still!

So? Was it true? Do you have your promotion? I was only half joking about Sandhurst, it's not unheard of, people moving up through the ranks if they display extraordinary leadership capabilities! Maybe you wouldn't feel comfortable there though between all the public school boys!
