My SIL was asking if you'd had a decision yesterday, MrsW12 I told her you were still waiting and she's routing for you too, fingers crossed for good news before Christmas 🤞

awww thankyou guys no not yet not rang yet either I will when I get 5 minutes not even had morning coffee yet house is manic! 🤣🤣

😱 not sure i could manage without a morning coffee or 3 😂 hopefully if you call you get through to someone nice and who knows what they are talking about 🤞🤞

Well today still isn't my day 🙃 caller handler just said very unusual that i am still waiting for coc as there isn't even that many of them 😕 said i have been unlucky with the wait time like yes hun i know that its driving me mad just dnt think am gonna hear now untill the new year

Not assigned, asked to go through to DM she said as a call back is arranged she couldn’t put through which obviously she could.

SD 17/7 - COC
Just got off the phone to a guy who said "I'm not permitted to tell you where exactly its at, but what I will say is it won't be long at all" we all know that's a lie, I've been told before if it's with a DM or not..😫

I can’t and definitely can’t deal with dla without a drink! So they can wait maybe I look at it like this a decision may be been made so if I wait system might update? 🤞🤞 wishful thinking at it’s finest
