@TiredTilly Have you heard back from child benefit? Fingers crossed it gets moving this week xx

@Chickapea77 Make your husband a sign that reads 'i promise, im his dad' 😂 xx

@Tasha0429 its more comfy than the sofa to sit on 😂 xx

Tasha0429 · 14/04/2024 18:43

@Fee89 😂😂 there is that, I'm like a security guard at night 😂 checking every 2 minutes to makesure he's still in his room, if I dare fall asleep, he will escape and completely destroy my house 😂🙈 he currently has long hair with a fringe 🤷 cause I fell asleep for one hour in the week he cut a chunk out of his hair (they were child scissors ) 😂 honestly lying in bed is dangerous in my house 🤣 NOTHING IS SAFE! He's flooded my house, and everything 🤣

The last holidays I took him back to school fell asleep on sofa and woke up at 4pm with 7 miss calls off school😂 I mever moved so fast in my life HAHAHA

Oh but i bet he looks super cute 😂. You need some motion cameras so when he steps out his room an alarm goes off for you to wake up haha. I can imagine as soon as you drop him at school you just crash. Freya doesnt go to sleep until 3am then hubby gets up at 4.30 then wakes me at 7.30am. We just become used to our normal. Im surprised none of us drink for a living 😂 xx

Shabutie · 14/04/2024 18:57

I'm 20/12 and still waiting to hear something. Hopefully this coming week will bring good news for many 🤞

Tasha0429 · 14/04/2024 19:08

@Fee89 noooo 😂 he looks like a girl bless him, his beautiful hair is ruined, he won't go barbers either 🙈 we've always had it long cause we tried when he was very little, that's it you can swap around can't you, when you have supporting partners, I always did it alone anyway so nothing changes there, that's actually a good idea I'll look for some! I'd probably still not sleep 😂🙈 honestly scares me, yeah that's always been my routine to nap whilst hes at school 😂 the only time I can get a few hours in, oh if I drank I'd probably end up in a mental unit 🤷 xx

Nickij2024 · 14/04/2024 19:49

I’m going to call first thing to check if they’ve received my evidence I post last Monday and also to check if it’s with a DM. I won’t hold my breath though 😬. The closer it’s getting the less confident I’m feeling and it’s stressing me out massively x

DaniCooling · 14/04/2024 20:02

Joining - scanned 8/1, feel sick everyday worrying I missed something vital on the form 😂

Tasha0429 · 14/04/2024 20:29

@Nickij2024 what's your scan date again, I think we are all the same! I just want to know now in definitely ringing tomorrow I don't care 🤣

@DaniCooling don't we all 😂😂 I think you should be looking at this week or next 🤞 if it's with the right DM cause they are saying 15 weeks now 🤞🤞

Channy2777 · 14/04/2024 20:33

Scan date 29/12 hopefully I will phone in the morning as of last week still not with DM

Fee89 · 14/04/2024 20:42

@Tasha0429 just managed to have an everything bath without hearing shouting/screaming. I actually feel refreshed 😮. I bet your counting down hours for nap time lol xx

@Nickij2024 @DaniCooling @Channy2777 fingers crossed this week they have a rocket up their bums and get a move on. Think were going crazy in here 😂 x

Nickij2024 · 14/04/2024 20:58

@Tasha0429 im 30/01 so it’s probably wishful thinking for it to be with a DM but I’m calling anyway 😂.

Like most people I’m just going to get worse over the next few weeks as I know it’s getting close to a decision. I will have them on speed dial soon enough 🙈

Tasha0429 · 14/04/2024 21:07

😂😂 I actually managed a bath to 🥳🥳 I feel glorious now, but yesss in counting the minutes 🤣 💕 xxx

@Nickij2024 I fought you was near me 🤣 we are a day apart 🤞 you keep them positive thoughts I'm here for it 😆🙌 I hope mines with a DM making also haha, I'm going to ring at some point I doubt I'll have chance in morning 🙈 xxx

Fee89 · 14/04/2024 21:13

@Nickij2024 i'm also 30.01. When i rang friday i got told mine is with a d.m xx

@Tasha0429 I bet you feel like a whole different person 🥰 xx

Lexie365 · 14/04/2024 21:19

Hi, I sent the dla forms in 5 weeks ago today, received 5 weeks ago Tomorrow. I haven't heard anything from them to confirm they have received it or what my scan date is, is this normal? TIA

Fee89 · 14/04/2024 21:21

@Lexie365 They seem to be rather slow at sending letters out lately. Ring them tomorrow and just confirm they have scanned them. Althought recieved 5 weeks ago tomorrow it can take upto 2 weeks i think to scan it onto system xx

Tasha0429 · 14/04/2024 21:42
