Opened the front door and could see a largish parcel propped up outside the glass backdoor. Could tell what it was straightaway. At least I've got my "medium" fleece from bequeathing.......1 out of 2 years isn't that bad......Paris here I come!
Bad luck GTC. My contingency is Hamburg Marathon on the same date which looks like a really fast and mid sized race. In a beautiful City as well. Really want to get in to London though!
My post isnt here yet-if i get any at all! really want to know now! this is my first ballot entry, and will be the first time i have run London if i get in. Infact it will be my first marathon!!
I dont think I could raise the minimum sponsorship for a charity place. Marathon training will be enough of a challenge for me without the added stress of trying to raise large sums of money!
I ran for charity 2 years ago and so did my husband last year, it was tougher raising the money than doing the run. I think it will be harder now with the economy as it is, unless you have a company that will pledge half the money. Even I am thinking of trying a different marathon, and maybe get a more respectable time!!
It seems to be those who bequeathed that are finding out today that they were rejected. If you bequeathed and dont here anything today or 2mora I would say that sounds promising!
I bequeathed and post been and no fleece. Not getting too excited though - it's mroe likely that the mail system in East London is rubbish and slow and I'll get it through tomorrow.
My OH bequeathed and got his fleece today. I didn't bequeath and haven't heard yet. I've had 3 rejections so expecting a 4th. still will be in the running clubs ballot for their tickets if not successful
It's killing me! I've had 3 rejections too and like seren nos am expecting a 4th I'm religiously checking my bank account online for any signs but nothing.
Well according to my wife the postie left a lovely red card on the door mat this morning after a failed delivery....I'm guessing that's as good as "I'm not in"!!!!!
Just looked at the email confirmation when I registered and my debit card expired in May...does that mean they wouldn't have been able to take my money? Sorry if someone has already asked this...
It also said that the 'agreement end date' is 7 October so I assume that is the latest they could take the money.
Why oh why do we all put ourselves through such agony with this process?

i'm not in
phew
and the fleece seems to say 'Flora London Warathon' on it
Working at home today, postman just rang the doorbell and I knew straight away what it was.
...Not in... again.... b**ger!
Quite like the fleece though.
I now need to decide if I can bear to watch from the sidelines for a 4th year, or break my self-made pledge not to succumb to a charity place.
Hmmm... it's a thoughy.
Only way I'm going to find out is if they take the worldpay payment, as I'm away from home for a couple of weeks.
rejection mag + fleece in the post today
not too disappointed as I had knee surgery on Friday last week and have no idea when I will be running again - could be 6 weeks could be 6 months
Postie just been and delivered me NOTHING. Cash not taken either. Now I'm confused as to what FLM are doing this year - keeping us guessing for sure!
where abouts in the country are all the people who have already had their news?
bequeathed is donating your entry fee to FLM's charities if you don't get in.
I've seen a few "yes" mags this morning, so those who are in should find out from tomorrow.
I'll only know when I get home this evening. No perks here you know
