Before we get another "lazy CAA bastards can't be bothered to send me my licence" thread, try checking the at bottom of
this page. It's updated every so often and anybody with sufficient arithmetic to be a pilot should be able to work out roughly when they can expect their licence...
At the time of writing they seem to be taking about 2 weeks for NPPLs and a few days longer for proper PPLs. add postal strikes onto that if you wish, but don't blame the CAA.
