@Tasha0429 😂 nah i am a shrimp 😂. I used to get called wee fee at school. Its going to be amazing for you. Finding who you are as a person being free 🥰. When our dla wait is over just remember i said 'always look forward, the past has been and gone' xx

Tasha0429 · 15/04/2024 20:50

@Fee89 and I was called lanky Larry 😂 aw fee 🥰 I will remember!! I don't want to lose contact already 😭😂 xx

Chickapea77 · 15/04/2024 21:01

Aaaawww, so sweet seeing women bond! Someone just sent me the Pointless video (Lewis Capaldi) and I am sobbing. My eldest is 18 next week and that completely wrecked me emotionally. @Tasha0429 you are right, even with all the sacrifices we have to make, would do it all again for them, right?

Fee89 · 15/04/2024 21:07

@Chickapea77 Life is too short to be hating.....unless i have a valid reason off course 😂. Ohh what are you doing for their 18th? My eldest isnt 18 until january (feel old) but i have no idea what to do. She wants a cocktail night 🤦🏻‍♀️ xx

@Shabutie I'm loving these hotdog lovers 🤣 I'm not ALONE, I wish I had something else he'd eat to change it up 😭 he will eat the same thing every day hotdogs alone without the bun 🤢😂

He does have a few other things he eats but not a 'main course' 😂 if you can call got dogs a main course 😭 haha!! Every limited even with snacks, it's an absolute nightmare mate!! Xx

I hear ya!

Just plain hotdogs here. She won't eat a meal. Hot dogs/lidl butter croissant/ toast are 'meals'. Loves a pom bear crisp 🙈 but thankfully enjoys satsumas and raspberries.

Tasha0429 · 15/04/2024 23:18

@Shabutie wooohoooooo on my level !!!

Hotdogs plain
Toast also 😂
Bangles occasionally.
And this is the weirdest sour and cream pringles 😂🙈 the only crisp he eats!!

I wish he'd eat fruit once upon a time he did. He won't touch it these days xx

Really hope it’s a useful person tomorrow 🤞
So I rang DLA the long way and got through in 35mins! That’s a record lol I was expecting 1.5hrs plus lol
they of course said the same thing, the damn NI number. She said should be anytime soon because they applied for it 3 weeks ago and it usually takes 3 weeks for them to generate the number….which is different from 2 other people who said it could take up to 3/4months for the NI number. Also to call back in 2 weeks if you haven’t heard anything, which is what they always say😂 I’m probably going to have to do an MR or COC because my sons needs have changed drastically for the worse since October🙁
@kristie198 have you received your disability elements on UC?xx

Yes I did I messaged them the morning I found out she was awarded and they had sorted it out by the afternoon and back pay was in my account a couple of days later xx

katiewil · 16/04/2024 07:04

Anyone know what the element is for UC? My DD was awarded HRC without mobility.. does that mean she will get the higher UC amount? I left the long DLA waiting time to join the long UC waiting time 🤦🏻‍♀️
