Barley: We've still got a bit of capacity at our group as I've got one deferment and at least 2 or 3 peeps who're chasing sub-3s and may not be stopping... So if you get a few more strays we can probably cope with a couple more if need be.
Just to confirm to everyone, I swung by the supporters spot outside Mudchute last night on my way home and the spot is still clear of DLR building works hoardings so we are good to go. They've even managed to fill the massive hole they had dug in Westferry Circus so there'll be room for the portaloos afterall... I ran past the "Chain gang" queuing to use those loos last year - hilarious - must've taken them ages to all file through!!
Thanks Kay vee. I had a look last night on my home from the Expo and it seemed OK to me too. Think the Runners World stand will get busy with peeps things from now on. I will try to look in on Saturday afternoon................Thanks again and hope to see you Sunday.....
Bubbles you must come and join in!!! Come on over to FLM Virgin and we will all make you extrememly welcome and we are all nuts!!! Started off as marathon 'virgins' 3 years ago so some of us have done FLM several times but always newcomers tag along and all are welcome - best thread there is!!
Hello! getting close now and as a FLM virgin I am getting nervous, however discovering that there will a jelly baby and pain killers at 17 has really cheered me up. I look forward to meeting you all. Wil.
Just to let everyone know the dark and light blue balloons have been delivered but the yellow one's are missing. I am chasing this at the moment but it maybe the support area is yellowless. The co concerned are going to special delivery yellow balloons in the hope they arrive with me tomorrow but Royal Mail do't guarantee special delivery on a Saturday.
Not a major issue but I thought its worth mentioning in case any runners are looking for blue and yellow balloons as usual.
Barley shall I have a hunt around the supermarkets and see if there are any yellow ones later? Text me to let me know. I'll mail you my mobi now. Not sure I ever gave it to you.
Nam, you could do but I doubt any sell just yellow ones, I dont think its much of a problem though ive just paid £8.50 to have them special delivered. If you're in the supermarket have a quick look but dont waste to much time or effort.
BB I've now go t fuscia pink version with matching hair - you won't be able to miss me!! Are you supporting this year? If so on which group - I am with the famous five.

I hope ye all have a great time. Was hoping to attend with Junior B but the trains round here are rubbish. Hope to run next year.
Give all the runners a big hug.

Just thought I'd pop in from grp3 and wish everyone GOOD LUCK.
Also a chance to inflict my awful poetry on more unsuspecting runners. (JFDI=just f*cking do it)
JFDI will be our cry,
we can , we will, our legs reply,
Feeling good, Riding high,
FLM- we're going to fly.
Can't promise this is going to get any better.....
When the chips are down and you feel the pain,
Remember how hard you've had to train,
THIS IS YOUR DAY!
THIS IS YOUR RACE!
Carry on smiling and keep your PACE!
Good Luck Everyone.
Hope all goals and dreams are achieved.
Enjoy Enjoy Enjoy.

Am a long time lurker on the FLM forums and first time poster and just wanted to say GOOD LUCK everyone.
These threads have been brilliant motivation even for those of use to shy to step up & say hi.
I've not signed up to any support group, but am still looking forward to mile 17 where I will give a big wave to all the supporters!
Have a brilliant day everyone, do yourselves proud!
