Afternoon, did you guys/girls get an e-mail as well as the fleece?
Just wondering, cos I got an undelivered card but I was expecting something else as well so i'm not sure if it was the fleece that couldn't be delivered or if it was the other parcel!!
2000-rejected, 2001-accepted, 2002-rejected, 2003-accepted but defered due to injury, 2004-guaranteed place due to deferal but still injured so place lost, 2005-didn't enter due to major family crisis, 2006-rejected, 2007-rejected, 2008-rejected but got a club place so ran, 2009-still waiting.
Don't let it get you down Twigglet. You enter knowing that the chances are that you will be rejected so it's no real suprise when it happens. Treat yourself to a weekend in Paris instead or maybe a smaller April marathon in the UK instead.
I had 55 euro removed from my visa account by Amaury Sport on the 19th September. Is this the flora marathon entry? have applied by overseas ballot but am not sure how we are informed. No email yet.
Just got home from the pub. Couldnt quite work out why my front door wasnt working. It was because there was a full 20kg of fleece on the other side! i must be fat though, cause it still looks alright on me. Hamburg it is then. flat, less people, less smog, copious amounts of proper beer after, i know i'm kidding myself but it'll be better than london! Good luck everyone that hasnt heard yet. hope you get in. I havent had this much of a kick in the knackers since i stole my sisters My Little Pony twenty years ago!
Bequeathed and got my fleece this morning (well, parents did and told me over the phone).
Hey ho...think I'll go for one of the European ones instead.
Looking forward to getting out on the streets to cheer on those that got through in April though, the crowds were an amazing part of my experience last year.
I read somewhere that rejections are in the first batch of mailings, and acceptances in the second, so I'll be fairly happy if the postie doesn't come again today.

I didn't know you could to I found out on this web site that you can.
Well it's official, I am the proud owner of a London Marathon fleece! 3rd year running and again no place
Better luck next year I guess!
I have two more possible options...charity or a possible ballot place through my running club so the Marathon isn't totally ruled out!

No email. Just the fleece for me
Sorry
Didn't bequeath, Nothing recieved in the post,no bank activity, the wait continues....................
2005-rejected,2006-rejected,2007-accepted,2008-rejected,2009-???????????? pattern would suggest another rejection!!!!!!!
Ok thanks. looks like I'll have to wait until the weekend then to find out.
Why couldn't they send an e-mail, they didn't bother holding back sending useless spam on the run up to today, so why refrain now?!
Pretty much. I'm hoping to sort this achilles once and for all this time.
(not crashed a mountain bike in ages though!)
i'm in the same boat fez a tight arse, who just can't wait!.
I havnt recieved anything yet. But I didnt Bequeath.
My debit card also expired last month so they will have to get in touch wth me to pay it I hope they dont just reject me
Agggggggggghhhhhhhh I know its my first year entering, but am still hopeful!!!!!
If not I will look for another marathon to do.
Oh well, if I get a rejection, I will go for a club place, but there are alot of striders this year entered LOL
Good luck everyone

Bequeathed and came home to find card from postie to say an item was too bulky to fit in letter box. I wonder if that could be a large fleece?!
I wanted to run for a specific charity which doesn't have places at the FLM so they will have to wait another year....
Didn't bequeath but got my NO mag this morning.
Edinburgh for me then.
Oh well, I will have to wait until after work tonight to see if I got in if there all coming out today
Lea
Ohh sugar
What to do?
Was going to head out the door for a long run but might wait for postie instead
Hate the thought of running 16 miles with the thought of arriving back home to find the dreaded mag in the post box!!!
Bah Humbug!
Ahhh well look on bright side
Three weeks this Sunday and I'm doing the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington DC
My 50th marathon!!
Ahh thats better
