this one is more for those people who have submitted/about to submit their PCV, so we can all see where we are all up to, time wise.

i will start..............

mum/dads application, sent end of november, acknowledged beginning of december. they havent submitted anything else (meds/pccs), and are still unsure on whether to frontload these at some point. they are looking at about august/september before they hear anything (going off the latest timelines).

please add your details/you parents details on, so we can see who is due to hear something next

good news barbara. i tried valling POPC today, to see where they are up to, but had just missed their closing time (different time zones ). i will try again tomorrow and let you guys know - hopefully

fingers crossed for some news for somebody tomorrow - somebody must be due on this thread!!!

by the way, what are people's opinions about starting a new CPV thread? this one seems so long now. although, since it was started, nobody/nothing has really much happened, it has been at a standstill since it was started. let me know your thoughts.

Im hoping for a bar job in the evenings just for some social life, and to give the kids a few evenings on their own

I went for my medical on Tuesday and x rays. Medical doc asked me to get some further information about my operation when I was 12 as I don't know exactly what it was for. He says POPC like all the t's crossed so Ive had to pay £10 to my GP for letters from my medical history. I received them today so I've posted them to the Docs and hopefully if my blood tests come back ok theyll send 'em off to Perth. More waiting
