Hey Allie -

It's rubbish isn't it?

My O/H is up at 4am :eek: on a Monday and back home at 7ish on Friday evening. He's brilliant about it though, never has once moaned or complained about it! He was out of work for nearly 12 months and I think we're just grateful he's working and earning again.

Still miss him though...

Good evening everyone, hope you're all well and have survived all the ice today.:eek:

:rotfl: You sound like my Mum Geebee - she loved it when Dad was away on UN duty with the army, also 6 month tours.

Evening by the way

Yep it sure is! I seem to feel lonely at random points of the day and then it gets me down, it's usually because I've called him but he's been too busy to speak for long. It's lovely to hear that your OH doesn't complain....wish I could say the same about mine!!! :rotfl:

The hardest part (for me anyways) about the tours was having to think of nice things to write all the time. I used to write as big as i could so that i could fill a bluey that much quicker!. :rotfl: I am soooo mean.

Not mean.... honest! :rotfl:

Yep we used to do the writing thing too :rotfl:Being a kid, I used to write stuff about school etc I'm sure my Dad used to just bin them, LOL!

We only got a phone at home around the time of his 3rd tour, so he was able to phone us once a week but not for long.

If my OH used to call, i roughly knew the times that he would, i'd not answer the phone and pretend i was out or called into work, there was no mobile phones for most of that time so i was quite safe!!.. :rotfl:

Pania's wise words once again x

Over the last few weeks we have had a number of "troll" attacks on the boards.

What is a Troll?
A troll is a person that posts deliberately provocative, nasty or hurtful comments on threads. They may be a person with no previous connection to the board or someone that has created a pseudonym to get their point made. If you should get such a comment made on any thread you post, asking for help and advice, please realise this comment is not directed at you personally so please ignore these nasty comments and continue to post here as normal because the majority of us really are a lovely bunch – ooops, modesty!

What should I do if I get a comment made on my thread?
Firstly do not respond to the comment as this is invariably what the troll wants. So to get rid of the offending post, at the bottom of the post towards the right hand side you’ll see a red "Warning" triangle within a blue “Abuse” icon, as shown below:

Click the icon and then "send" the message which will inform the abuse team of the post, who will then review its content and deal with it as appropriate; sometimes even deleting the troll by making their status PPR’d (Posting Privileges Removed). Remember, this site is an asset to so many people, especially those that feels like their world is falling in around them. There is a wealth of knowledgeable people here all willing to help, whatever you do, do not let the comments of one silly individual deter you from availing yourself of the knowledge base that is on offer here.

PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE FORUM

It is testament to the work that Martin has done and continues to do that so many people give their time, knowledge and experience freely to others; without judgement, to lift people out of the depths of their debt crisis

PLEASE DO NOT LET THE ACTIONS OF THE MINORITY RUIN THAT

Welcome to the forum all, please read the message above and don't be put off by any negative posts you might see - the vast majority of people on here are supportive and helpful.
