 Topic: It’s all getting real now....
Posted: 30 January 2008 at 9:26pm |

....just back from a police recruitment seminar...where I handed in my registration forms which is starting the ball rolling in the recruitment process.
We've been contemplating for this for 6 months now but still!!
It's still going to be a long process...I have my fitness to improve and my Wednesday afternoons will no doubt now be spent with the other police recruits running around Milford, still got a lot of other forms to be completed to (eye sight, asthma clearance).
And knowing my luck I'll go and get knocked up with number 2 by accident next week...or in 10months minimum I could be off to college...either way...it's officially started and it's exciting and scary at the same time!
Just wanted to finally share it with you guys!!

(I was joking about the cruise you know ...  )
You will be an excellent cop - keep your chin up and your nose to the grindstone, and your goal firmly in front and you'll be away sailing. You have the love and support you need from B, and that's a powerful motivator all by itself!

Nah....police collge is a while away...right now I'm at the very start of the process, same as your hubby by the sound of it...has he attended a recruitment seminar yet? That's the best place to start (even if you do come out a few shades paler!!  )
