@Mommaof2babas Hey hun, thank you so much for asking, but as of yet nope no update I’m still waiting apparently if only went to a DM yesterday, both people I spoke to today and yesterday they both said that I will receive a text message and to call back once I get that for dates I don’t know if that’s any indication or not I don’t want to assume but I have a strong gut feeling it’s a decline I don’t know why 🫣 so I’m keeping myself busy with decorating lol

Ilovemychildren123 · 14/11/2023 16:15

@Luevzamum we are 22 weeks on Thursday so I will call up on 30th November which is 24 weeks hopefully get a decision then. Fingers crossed for you and keep me posted please x

MammyAng84 · 14/11/2023 16:12

They told me 17 & half weeks but can be 2 weeks either side to give them some wiggle room, I’ve asked for a txt but she says it won’t tell me the decision just that 1 has been made

Luevzamum · 14/11/2023 16:10

@Ilovemychildren123 well I just worked it out and I’m 23 weeks on Friday so maybe next week I could hear something, would be nice to have it all sorted before Christmas, it litterally consumes your life keep checking and phoning all the time. 😵‍💫

Mommaof2babas · 14/11/2023 16:08

Ilovemychildren123 · 14/11/2023 16:05

Luevzamum · 14/11/2023 16:04

@Ilovemychildren123 hopefully we won’t have to wait much longer, when I last rang they told me early next year so I’ve not rang again, sick of being told different things😵‍💫

Sskanf · 14/11/2023 16:03

@MammyAng84 I don't know if they are going by date order as people after my 12/07 have been awarded and I've been told mines still in a pile for next week

MammyAng84 · 14/11/2023 15:57

The woman I had on phone says they are only at middle of July so asked how people after me r getting decisions & she said they shouldn’t be as they going in strict date order but watching this thread proves they are

Ilovemychildren123 · 14/11/2023 15:56
