Wahayyy!!! 28 drinking vouchers removed from me HSBC account this morning (affiliated entry) - 3rd time lucky after 2 previous attempts!! (ran on a charity place last year and swore I wouldn't do that this year if I didn't get in on the ballot)
oh my god i've just checked my bank account, and they took the 32 quid out on august 2nd, arghghhhhhhhh.
what the hell does that mean?
I did bequeath, but surely they wouldn't take it automatically would they? Oh god knows. Guess i'll have to wait until Nov 30th, damn!!!! At least I can stop checking my bank account so constantly - balance keeps going down so don't want to see that everyday if I can avoid it!
well done to all those who have a place. Get training!
Nothing for me - Although I checked my bank account twice this morning! once before and once after reading this thread.
3rd reject for me so I think 2011 is the year for me! That is assuming my entry actually made it to the FLM people and didn't get lost in the post. If that happens I guess this counts as a 'non-applied' year, Does anyone know?
Just checked my Smile bank account online and a cheque for £32 has gone out today with the correct cheque number. I did not bequeath and this was a regular ballot application.
Well done to all those with cashed cheques today! I got mildly excited this morning, when I saw a cheque appear on my online bank - sadly it was for £60, and was a speeding fine .
Oh well, looks like that's five rejections in a row - so I can start training for April 2009! Think I'll start spending the £32 on a few local race entries for the New Year instead...
One final thing - I heard an interview with someone from the FLM on Talksport a couple of weeks ago, they said they were seriously considering making it internet-only entry from next year. Could be interesting - presumably if they do that, all this waiting around for cleared cheques will be a thing of the past - hopefully the lucky ones would be getting an e-mail instead! Here's to next year - and the "who's had an acceptance e-mail yet?" thread!
Cheque for £32 cashed this morning, Bank Of Scotland. Didn't bequieth.
5th attempt, was convinced I was going the full distance of 5 rejections. Guaranteed place for Edinburgh too, which to race, which to stroll is the next big question. Good luck everyone.
Just looked online £28 is being credited/debited today thats what it said its leaving it doesn't say its a cheque but can't remember buying anything elsewhere for exactly £28
OMG - just checked my account and £32 has been taken! I don't think I bequeathed.....I can't believe it as it really was a last minute decision to try again!!!
i've checked again this morning and my cheque has not been cashed and I'm with First Direct. Third rejection presuming they got my application ( I sent in August as soon as they came out). So much for third time lucky . I've not gone for a gold bond place this year as got double disappointed last year when rejected by my charity too!! Lots of halfs for me next year and hope for 2009!!
I'm all for applying online but sure it will be just as tense a wait for the emails!!
Nothing out of my account this week (well the flm cheque hasn't been cashed but lots of other things have gone out!) I did bequeath this time as a friend got a place last year in the bequeath draw (so got a reject jacket and a place, the lucky thing!!)
I have a debit/credit being processed today for £28. Is this the amount for club runners (affiliated). I am pretty sure it is so for the 4th time of applying I may of finally been accepted! Yippee!

No cheque cashed - HSBC. I wasn't feeling lucky!
That should be five rejections in a row now, so I'll go for the Golden Bond place again this time and hopefully get an automatic entry for 2009
Mine was cashed this morning - natwest - but I'm pretty sure i bequeathed so i can't be sure i guess...
3rd time lucky if I'm in.
