    I hope that part was directed at Smyff!!!! Lol thanks Carlty - it's quite amazing that after 15 months (or is it more???) I'm still in shock that the call finally (ever) came!

    Scary biscuits.

    Nope lol :eek: Although I've been hyperventilating a little less today as I start to put practicalities into place. Still think it's mad I'll ever be in the uniform policing the streets! That is of course if I get through GV - which is definitely not a given and is still scaring the pantaloons off me.

    Ahhhhhhhhh off to get my brown paper bag again :eek::D

    Nail and head...the 4 reasons I am hyperventilating about spending the first 4 weeks in Garnerville! More worried about missing my littleuns than being shouted at by scary big drill peeps. Also hence the name MBC - :D waiting til this stage in life to do a big life changing thing like this....paper.............bag.............please:eek::eek::eek:
    Thanks for your confidence in me though :)

    The first 4 weeks you have to 'live in' Monday to Friday but if there are evenings when there is nothing organised as far as I know you can leave for a while as long as you're back for bedtime (lol). I think the evenings are pretty full though but any chance I get I'll get Mr MBC to bring the nippers and we'll have dinner somewhere or something. And hopefully can do loads of studying during the week so I can spend time with them at the weekends. I'm hoping it will all fall into place! :eek:

    Thank you Fo, can't believe you've had no word yet??? Why do they seem to leave you to last for some reason? Well, October definitely for you and hopefully if I get my deferral I'll be there with you :)

    Now if I could just get over this horrible cold and get some training done I might actually get through the PE without embarrassing myself!

    The next intake falls in October due to the number of weeks that seperate the intakes.
