    dont care about what other people think, there will always be people who will want to see you fail because they can't succeed

    The patience of saint, endless supply of pencils with rubbers (for use on calendar), the ability to find a babysitter at 5 mins notice and high tolerance to alcohol.

    Unquestioning flexibility (although my OH who is sitting next to me has just laughed at me coz she reckons I haven't had my flexibility tested by the Army yet....god help me if/when they really do turn my world up side down)!

    I'd say its a combination of insanity and the knowledge that we can be the wife and the mistress all at once so know we have to be able to look after ourselves.
    Heaven wont have me, hell is scared I'll take over. Time for the pub!

    On the move this weekend. Not sure yet where I'm going or when I'll get there.....hope theres enough vodka in the car.

    realising that you may be first but you are also last
    the ability to plumb in your own washing machine and change the fuses
    remembering not to put his wooley pulley in a hot wash unless you really want your two year old to wear it
    everything in pencil
    The more independant you act the less your going to be bothered by the welfare types
    keeping your ears closed to the endless bitching and gossip-you knew he was in the forces when you married him so shut up wheenging about it- and yes he did join the army to go to war!
    the ability to know where that piece of kit he needs NOW is as if by magic

    You must be a maid in the living room, a cook in the kitchen and a whore in the bedroom...

    Simples!
