Application Submitted

When we came home from Westminster Abbey yesterday we decided to register DEIS UK. If you submit your documents before 11 am, you get a response on the same day. I sign in on the platform. Service unavailable. I refresh the page a few times, I wait, it’s past midnight, nothing. Maybe it only works during opening times. In the morning 7 am - 8 am - 9 am - nothing. I call Companies House. They’re trying to fix it. 11 am, still nothing.

My anxiety has been skyrocketing since yesterday because paperwork makes me too stressed and I was feeling physically sick at this point.

It’s past 11 am, so J decides to take me outside for some fresh air. We go to artFix. As soon as I connect to their WiFi, the platform is working again. At 12.34 pm we successfully submitted the application. We should have a response tomorrow.

Today is DEIS Day. 11 years of DEIS - 1st day of DEIS UK. And the yearly article is out now: https://www.bside.blog/post/11-years-of-deis-a-special-anniversary
