Can't stand doing nothing......so booked meds....to save sanity!!
I know everyone is in the same boat...but just needed to let off steam...sorry! Spent too long on Austimeline and number crunching with calendars.....how many days since this and that. Everyone of them in the house has pen marks all over then.
Having said that...tried to book so around the 12 week mark as this seems to be an average to aim for -14th June.
Now I need to try and leave the net for a couple of days for a break.....we all know that aint going to happen. Never mind feel better now got it off my chest!

I've gone ahead and booked our meds for 21st June.......and the application only does off tomorrow!!! In fact, considering I've off sick, I've clocked in 8 hours days on this forum. I think we need serious help....like a visa being granted or something like that.
Keep smiling!

We are almost on the same timeline, I'm a couple days in front. I know exactly how you feel, I'm becoming obsessive about this forum and have lost motivation at work altogether and I don't even have my visa yet - there is no hope. Like you I can't stand the waiting and have booked our meds for 21st May hoping the request will come in somewhere around that time.

Same as you, got fed up doing nothing (pre julyer) so booked meds. The med req's arrived on the day we were going for our meds! Glad we did as we would have had to wait a few weeks for an appointment for the meds and I'd still be waiting for my visa now (granted last week).
Good luck with your meds, will send karma

Re: Can't stand doing nothing......so booked meds....to save sanity!!
Hi all
I know it sounds sick but it does feel better having other mad people around you, or are we.......too deep for this time in the morning.
Yes off sick but agree doing more typing than I ever do at work!
Booked meds yesterday will be around week 12 mark on the 14th June. Going with the famous Dr Million....well by that I mean I have seen his name on here a couple of times. He was slightly cheaper than Liverpool one.
£90 meds
£40 xrays
£20 HIV bloods said we might have to have Hep tests - pierced ears etc
£10 each postage
Grand total which is not far off exactly that £750.00 = family of 5
Now new panic......what conditions are going to suddenly jump out!!!
God it never stops does it.
I'm a 138 app so don't really feel right on the 136 modl etc threads.
So great to see names that I watch when I do relevant search on austimeline.
Nikki fingers and toes crossed for us all x

Now, doesn't that make you feel better? No? No, me neither. Still got to go through this bloody waiting game!
