Default WHOOO let's hear it for the men in uniforms
Himself is pushed for time for getting my shed up, I've just had the RAF Dog Handlers pop around for coffee and they say they will do it - I said 'how can you do that in works time' - they giggled and said 'your husband is the boss'

oh so he is

LOL, don't suppose you could send them round to 'sort' my garden out when they are done with your shed?

in case anyone is feeling 'I pay taxes for that' - these boys have to do compulsory sport two afternoons a week, or it can be replaced with an activity - I am that activity

yep, sounds like a good road trip that JB

If you send them down this way, I'll let them go and play with the tanks on the Plain!

I arranged for a home fire safety check from the local fire station a couple of months ago - nearly died when they pulled up in a fire engine and 6 strapping men in full uniform jumped out!!!

Bless them, they put two new alarms in for me and saved me from a particularly large spider when it wandered into my living room!

If you are piskie, I'll have one! Always was a sucker for men in uniform. (Does it come as a surprise that An Officer and A Gentleman is my fave movie?)
