I've just finished work, hooray that's it for a week and a half, well my normal work, we're hardly going to be relaxing by a pool

On the theme of shirts, I've just got a load in a smaller size and realise I can't get my thermals underneath or breathe as the collar's so tight!!

Think I'm definately going to need a hand ( or two ) to keep me warm

Tube of polish??? Tube...??????

I remember my first day of basic training at RAF Swinderby....Blah blah blah remember the Mongolfier brothers in nappies blah blah blah trained up Orville and Wilbur blah blah blah told Icarus not to do that blah blah blah

ZZZZZzzzzzz x

I'm on my way. 100 miles done, 220 to go. I say 100, but after 10 I realised I'd left my ID behind, so I've done 120 now due to a slight detour. I'm in Heron at 1300ish and I'm changing my shirts. (Not due to a polish accident, I'm an idle git who can't be bothered scrubbing.) Where is slops?

Erm, shirt size.....the bigger the better!  Well not huge but big enough to get layers under at least.

Or I could just buy some Tippex......

Oh, how I love civvies. I forget you don't jackspeak.    Slops is stores, scran is the galley, or more specifically the food.

GF, you could try asking Gromit. She is a stores-basher at Heron so should have contacts to blag a new shirt, or she may find one in Dave Wright's uniform store in the bandroom.


Greehfairy - you will probably be on the bus by now travelling up (but it's the thought that counts) - Dave will dig out some shirts from the dressing up cupboard.  I don't have time to go to slops as it's over the other side.  See you drekly. xx

I'm almost done packing. The shirts have come out ok....only a few light grey splodges on the back but if I can get a nice shiny white one to wear instead I'll be more than happy.

You guys rock...see you later!

GF! Don't ruin a shiny new shirt! Are you planning on taking your jacket off...? Trust me (there's a phrase to get used to!) it 's not worth it!!

See you soon... xxxx
