A lad in class gave me his he made - stuffed it into

Never ever through Facebook, lol, you need to meet and talk to people to truly fall in love.
My husband and I were penpals at first. He was in my brothers regiment and they were on tour in northern Ireland in 1976. We got to know each other quite well over that 6months and when they came back off tour he came to see me and I've never got rid of him since. I suppose Facebook could be the modern day equivalent to penpals,

Tour of Ireland 1976, that would not have been a picnic.
We lived near an army camp early 1970s ,so new some of the soldiers, they told us what it was like over there around that time.

I don't think I've received a genuine valentines card.......

One I'm positive was from my mum
one was a wind up from college friends pretending it was from a geeky boy.

Never had one since.......

Anyone got a mini violin?

Yes it was quite rough. After we were married we had a 2 year posting to Londonderry with the regiment. I have to say I didn't really feel threatened and although we did take all necessary precautions regarding personal safety when your young you always think it will never happen to you, thankfully it didn't but my hubby lost a few good mates. But thats all in the past now.

My husband was never in the forces. But we found it hard sometimes talking about it as husband came over from Ireland at age 10.
He remembers being stoned walking to school at age 9.
There is always two sides to a story, and I feel war of any type is not the answer.

We, husband and I married 1970, still together.

I quite agree with you there are no winners in war. We got married 1978, still together although I've tried killing him off a couple of times with a heart attack. He's got an internal defibrillator in now so I can't sneak up behind him and scare him to death, the **** thing will just shock him back to life, still he will come in useful if the battery on the car goes flat. :rolleyes:

Still haven't not him trained, he can cook frozen chips and egg and thats about it.
I am trying the lchf thing, and what did he bring home the other day, hotcross buns.
Today I said, anything you want from Asda. A pot of jam he said.
So as you can tell I need all the help and support I can get from this fab website.
