Sheesh!! Shalou - I am surprised they wanted to deploy him if they knew your EDD!!! DH has told his platoon commander and there is no way he will be going away for anything until at least November after he gets back from his IETs at the end of April.

I got a call from DH's platoon commander earlier - They want to help!!! DCO have spoken to Gecko's, who have sent a lady to do a little bit here and there of the everyday stuff, she helped with the washing and cleaned the bathroom for me today.

MD - I totally agree!!! after the caffufle of getting in and posted I am not really too surprised by much to do with the defence now. 'Hurry up and wait' has become a regular saying in this house now.
