Thats exactly what you should have done so thats great!!!

They usually work to a 4 week turnaround so plenty of time. Call on Monday and tell them medical evidence is coming so that if they get to yours before the medical evidence is there they will pend it.

You can send extra evidence whenever you want, people are actually encouraged to send a letter and then send medical evidence in as its such a tight time limit they are given.

Feel free to Whats App - I have changed phone and lost your number:(:(

Thank you EE I was worried I'd done it wrong. I will call them Monday and tell them I have more evidence. It will be more up to date and include the new meds and plans too which proves some of the things they said didn't apply to her. I will make sure I call around the team and confirm all the letters are being sent to me ASAP too then I can send a copy on.

Thank you again

If you are thinking of paper chains, have you considered making some hanging pompoms? this link shows some suggested ways - all very easy if you have some wool in Christmassy colours

Oh we will attempt them, DD has quite a bit of wool from crafty things. They are currently in competition of who can make the biggest paper chain We might have enough to cover the entire house at this rate :rotfl:

I used to love making pom poms with wool when I was a child, and paper chains .

Crafty items for the day made and cleaned up after, smalls bathed and on the sofa watching a movie while I decide what to do for dinner. Well after my cuppa.

We aren't sending cards Stamps cost a fortune. We will however finish the cards and send them to each other.

Tomorrow is Panto day I need to get organised for that. I forgot so I have nothing prepared. Will probably bake some really basic biscuits or something. Can be used in lunches this week too then.

Another busy week at school for the smalls and youngest has her nativity this week.

I think crossing those things off your list is a good decision. School have had enough of your money already The best things to go to are the nativities anyway, I used to love them.

I read your comment on Nicnak this afternoon. If people made you feel that bad then I really think you should stick to your guns about not letting them back in. At least until you're feeling stronger and more up to dealing with their nonsense.

Who won the paper chain competition :)xx

It frees up quite a bit of time for us too! Still feel awful about the gifts for smalls though

My head is still all over the place with everything going on. I'm exhausted.

The girls won the paper chain competition I think there was some cheating going on :rotfl:

Just a thought re the medical evidence. I am probably preaching to the converted but ensure you take a copy of it in case it gets lost in the post or with the DLA people.
