currently we are beginning of July and some last June dates! xx

I rang Tuesday and yesterday still not with a decision maker s/d 1/7 but seen quite a few people with scan date after me get awarded.

@MrsW12 are you calling today? My scan date is 12/09 so I still have time to wait so I feel more impatient for others 😂

I haven’t bothered to call so far today 😂

SD 26/6 Got through straight away didn’t even ring 😂!! Man on the phone was lovely but Still not with decision maker 😣!!

Phoned again 3rd day in a row and still no decision. Scan date 12/07 but I was told over a week ago that it was being marked as urgent due to the circumstances. Looks like we're waiting through another weekend 😔

I’m also 1/7 and no decision

I honestly don’t believe my bloody luck! I called just now and got put through to customer services as it’s been over 20 weeks. My bloody decision maker isn’t in today and won’t be back until next week 😫 x

Nooo!!! How annoying is that! Xxx

I’m so so fed up with this now. The lady sent her a message for when she’s back but bloody hell 😫 x

calling up for an update no doubt I’ll just be told to call back after 20 weeks 🙄🫤

Im gonna be nearer 22 weeks at this rate! X

That’s ridiculous, surely they should have someone else take over that pile until she’s back😨

fingers crossed you don’t have to wait too much longer🤞 xx

Apparently not. I could actually cry x

I can imagine, it’s so draining. I’m waiting to be put through for an update now. Not holding my breath 🫣

Aww I hope you get some good news. I wouldn’t want anyone else to go through this x

Update

still in a Que no decision made

Just tried to call to ask if I have time to send more evidence. 32mins hold, call went silent then hung up! Just going to send it anyway

Fine! You've all twisted my arm!!! I'll call 🤣🤣

Been distracted with our new addition this morning and then a call off my son's school 😭

Awwww too adorable 🥰. I hope you get some answers. I think my DM hates me 🤣 x

They're all definitely following this post 🤣😭😭

One of them at least must be! 🤣 x

Oh no! No option of giving it to another decision maker?

Aww what a cute distraction 🥹

No awards today by the looks of it?
