They are prepared to wait for my husband because they've been waiting since July for an answer because we had other offers to consider first. When we went out again in July to Canada and took another look we felt we could make a go of it in Canada because I do fear staying in England would in the end not be a very good decision. I know we are in a very enviable position but one believe you me we have worked hard to get ourselves in and I don't believe we would be this fortunate if we hadn't made sacrificies years ago in our living circumstances because by me making a home for me and the children and my husband throwing himself into his career because basically when you live away in the Mess away from your children there is very little else to do with your life but drink or work, fortunately for me my husband chose work. But I think it is probably best that I sign off permanently because I don't seem to be making any headway with this forum and see why it is there for some people but unfortunately I think it is lost on me.
Bye,
But if you do come back - What do you expect from this forum?
Have you asked for advice or information or will you be apologising again?
By the way the reason your 7 year old is still in your bed at night is coz you let him. Not because it's the best thing for him.
Try watching some parent shows and reading some books, You'll notice how keeping them comforted and secure in their bedroom at night is way better than letting them jump in with you when every daddy is away.

As an oldie on this site, I suggest that you might actually find something that will be of use to you, or you might (eventually) be able to offer help or support to somebody else going through the process.
Being charitable, I think you realise that you got off on the wrong foot with many folks here, and so I suggest that you maybe just observe the site for a bit, (lurk, as it were) and try the search facility for any questions you might have, which have probably been asked and answered before.
Then, if you do ever feel moved to post again on here, if you just be a little more circumspect, don't come in with all guns blazing (and maybe use a different user name
), you might find the site more useful.
Good luck, smooth sailing, and happy landings ..... cos that's when the fun REALLY starts!

I haven't got a clue where you're coming from about June, August, September and October we only got the job offer for Ottawa 3 weeks ago!!!! This is after refusing a job offer that was similar in Washington DC. So I think you have got yourself confused and I'm not really sure what you're point is?! Read back through my quote before getting on your high horse and assuming the worse - tad of the old green monster I fear
the dates i mentioned were for my fastracking, my job offer, my money paid and accepted, do you really think you are the only person to be given these types of timescales and empty promises. clearly you are, as you refer my quote directly to your circumstances, its a wonder you can drag yourself away from the mirror.
this may be cynical and disparaging but i feel that you have asked for it. you clearly have not read anything posted previously on here, otherwise you would know all about the poor unfortunate souls who have been in your position.
you're not there, until you are there, simple as.

you are about to look very silly and this is why you shouldn't start typing out disparaging posts about people you don't know just because you don't like what they say.
joined RN 1990, best student award, nominated upper yardie scheme (lower deck to officer), active service Yugoslavia, Northern Ireland, decoratedx3, Dartmouth, Midshipman-navigation, left 1997.
reason i left, personal circumstances none of your business. chips yes, with the demands being an officer placed on my family and then girlfriend now wife, from half-wits like you because i didn't know which way to pass the port, told she couldn't come on board as "she's a bit rough", forced to salute the wife's of officers though they do not hold the commission.
you are about to get a rude awakening, i'll comfort myself with that. don't bother replying as i shan't.

Consider yourself told off Ha ha ha ha

Snubbing someone because he has only been in the navy 7 years. It is this sort of thinking which totally bothers me.
I am a signal design engineer for the railways and i have 4 years experience.
With this experience i have managed to climb to a supervisors level something which had never happened to someone so young (22) in my company before.
I get people with 40 years more experience come to me for support because I have the knowledge and have sacrificed very little to get here.
I will tell you the secret of my success hold your tongue unless you clearly understand what you are talking about. Always be accommodating and deal with people in the right manner. It is fair to say from your posts that you treat people as dirt on your shoe who are very much below you.
This is a dinosaur theory which was used back when women didn't even have the vote. This is a new age and mainly due to technology more young people are valuable assets to companies as they have a better base grounding for using such things as a computer.
Experience is everything but time is not an indication of experience.

BTW when we first came albeit in the early 80s my partner was offered a job in the last week of July and we and our family had our PR status by the end of October- less than 3 months despite there being an official moratorium on his profession and it wasn't luck, it was the experience and expertise that he had that Canadians did not have and the government were very willing to acknowledge that.

BTW - what do you mean by "...the early 80s are a different country.." and "the noughties" ? Your syntax and spelling are confusing

The "noughties" is one of the common descriptions for the first decade of the 21st Century. If the 80s is the "eighties" then the 00s must be the "noughties", no?
