Next time you are sending out a parcel to the lads, buy a copy of Wednesday's Sun. Fifteen girls from 40 Commando are in the sun woman section where they have been chosen as the real life sweethearts to the forces. The lads dont know this has been done and should be a big surprise for them. Im in it to but god knows what hubby will say (yes we have our kit on!!). the sun were to be arranging a surprise delivery straight to them but are not sure if this can now be done, due to logistics. So please enclose a copy with your shoe boxes etc so the hubbies can be cheered up. Thank you :wink: :wink: :wink:

I have two Presidential style queries,
1) Are you convinced this is good for morale, they must be used to camels by now.
2) Are you sure this will cheer them up, I heard they are delerious, maybe not happy, just delerious.

Well done Flo, thank you for the glamour shots taken after the main photographer left, aren't digital cameras a boon! 8)

Hell hath no fury, remember the tee shirt,"If you think it`s tough being a Bootneck, you should try being a Bootneck`s wife"? :wink:

Personnally, i wouldn't be seen dead wearing an, 'Its hard being a bootneck , but try being a bootnecks wife!' T-shirt. It doesn't go with the ron hills, white stilettos and barbour jacket. But like it was said hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. By the way the edition wont be coming out today but on Saturday this week, and as for bootnecks comment, they made me wear a wig and yes it was RED. :(
