The pause before she tells you there's high call volumes gets me nervous so many times when holding 🤣🤣🤣

Clairexdx · 09/11/2023 09:12

Be interesting to know what we all get told lol x

Louisamae · 09/11/2023 09:11

My scan date 4/7 last text 2/10 called Monday and Tuesday and wasn’t even with a dm, on hold now to find out if there’s any movement. The anxiety is unreal 😫

Tmxx · 09/11/2023 09:09

@Rebeccanew I didn't get in the queue until 9.05 as I swear I press the right numbers everytime but I'm too quick with it so end up going to the wrong department everytime 😅 xxx

@Doymum I'm 11/07! Xxx

Rebeccanew · 09/11/2023 09:08

Sammy8919 · 09/11/2023 08:23

@Mumto2oneofeach i am 5/7 and was awarded Monday morning had pay back this morning worth calling

Tmxx · 09/11/2023 07:41

Sskanf · 09/11/2023 07:32

I'd love to call but because there's not been any awards for the 7th I know it'll be disappointing news!

Agree I was going to call today but I think I'm going to hold out til Monday too xx

Jneill2021 · 09/11/2023 07:14

Good luck all calling today xx

Doymum · 09/11/2023 07:09

I was thinking of calling today but I’m in meetings till 1 then have to go to the school for a meeting with the EP. I think it will have to be tomorrow.

Myl1984 · 09/11/2023 06:48

@Mumto2oneofeach I called the other day and asked for a text and got it late afternoon yesterday. Call and if not done ask for a text. Wish I’d asked to be text sooner.

Mumto2oneofeach · 09/11/2023 03:46

Hi everyone,
has there been anymore awards for 5/7 I haven’t heard anything back yet?
im too scared to ring up incase it’s a decline will be a massive set back for both me and mig son! 18 weeks is such a long wait… if it’s declined you’ve got the wait of the (MR) on top! X

Tmxx · 08/11/2023 23:46

@MangoPepsiLover it's all so draining working your life around calling! I wouldn't mind just waiting to see the outcome instead of calling but have read you get 4 weeks for a mr and it takes 2 weeks for the letter to come so really you have to ring! Its crazy 🥲 xx

MangoPepsiLover · 08/11/2023 22:55

Tmxx · 08/11/2023 22:51

@Sskanf aww thank you so much hun! And yes Monday and Tuesday is a much more logical time for me to ring too! So I really do want to hold out I just know I'm going to be stressed on the weekend if I don't! But also know its going to fully waste an hour and a half or my life if I do 🤣🤣 xx

@Tmxx Same, I will probably not get any work done on Friday while I call as well so I need to get ahead tonight so I can do it 😑

Tmxx · 08/11/2023 22:51
