@MangoPepsiLover my boy is only 3 and still
In a pushchair but he kicks off many mornings as we get to nursery. I see a lovely lady with her DD many of times at school while dropping my older kids off. She's quite clearly struggling whilst all the other parents just walk past and stare. Makes me so mad. I'd love nothing more than to just give her a cuddle and tell her she's doing a great job 🥹 it's the fact that someone who has never met your child gets to decide if they need the extra support, going off a sheet of paper x

@Rebeccanew fingers crossed for you lovely!! I have friends with children who have very similar traits and they all have hrc but I’m just happy with being awarded anything tbh! It’s going to take a lot of stress away & It can really benefit him now in wayss I couldn’t before! I’ve got my fingers crossed for you!! 🙏🏻 & it was a 0800 number lovely! Xxx

Have the feeling to ring again tomorrow even though I only did monday! But I know its pointless because ill only be 17+2weeks might just push past the urge 🥱 xx

@Tmxx I now want to ring to but can't tomorrow as i have a work meeting 10am-2pm and school run either side of that so I'm gonna do it Friday. Not sure why I want to ring we're only on week 16 today, but I'm going to.

@MangoPepsiLover when you get the urge you just have to dont you 🤣 I really do want to but I KNOWWWWW it's pointless so I don't know whyyyyyy argh im stressed 😅 thats also why I want to ring tomorrow because I cant Friday as have a big appointment for the baby and its my eldest bday! xxx

My scan dates also 12/07 I'm gna try waiting it out till Monday/Tuesday as I haven't seen any 7/7 dates be awarded today still.
@Tmxx hope the appointment and bday go well x

@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 😑

@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

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

@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.

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.

Good luck all calling today xx

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

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

@Tmxx @Sskanf we have the same scan date, I will call at 9am and update you both x

@Keddie thank you very much! Fingers crossed they at least say with dm 🤣 xx
