8 months and 17 days and counting..... After seeing everyone on here having their grants come through that have lodged around the same time as us a few weeks ago we became extremely excited and thought we'd email our CO with a friendly email to see if we were still on track to hear within the 9 month mark on Monday but unfortunately we still haven't had a reply, usually she's really quick with any replies so I'm hoping we haven't annoyed her and our email will come soon......I have absolutely every crossed!!!
