Thank you everyone else too.
I have tried and honestly I've called so many times it's been more than once in the same day and they've all told me that once I'd received the MR notice and the decision hadn't been changed that going to the appeal was my only option to have it looked at again. I will however speak to them all again when I'm home next week and ask again if it can be looked at again. I feel useless because I actually can't do anything to speed it up. I and the medical teams involved have sent pages and pages of 'evidence' over 150 sheets of paper in one set from the consultant to be looked at. I just don't know what else I can do
Xx
Just to add. I appreciate all the advice I receive and I hope I don't come across as ungrateful of that I don't.
Sorry my reception isn't good enough to reply to everyone individually and by the time I've posted I forget who's replied to thank
I definitely don't want to look like I'm ignoring anyone/not taking the advice on board and doing something with it.
Thank you again everyone for all the replies/help/messages etc. It really is appreciated

WannabeFree, I think there's one thing only you can do, and you're already doing it brilliantly - take care of yourself and your children. xI think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

Definitely the plan to go home tomorrow (well today now)
Cannot wait to be back to our normal. Will still be a bit weird this coming week. However we will be at home so I am not complaining at all.
Will be back to debt busting and full mse mode catching up with every thing and being organised.
Thank you again

Morning
Day we go home :j
Waiting for the tests to end at 10.30 and then the Drs round. Then it will just be waiting for the pharmacy.
Still today's the day we go home so no complaining
Just having a coffee
Smalls in school
Think we are all as excited as each other to get back to normality. I'd say normal but we are far from normal :rotfl:
Have a lovely day

It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.
