I'm in!
Decided to work from home today. Went to the shop to buy a big fat chocolate filled donut for when the inevitable popped through the letterbox and couldn't believe it when it said congratulations. I was sooo convinced it was another rejection. I feel like Glynn - like I've got the golden ticket. I couldn't stop screaming. Made the dog bark.
This is my 4th attempt in the ballot so Toddygy and others don't give up - keep trying. The application form next year will tell you what code to put in to say how many times you've been rejected/accepted. Congratulations to everyone who got in and I know how you feel to those who got rejected...fingers crossed for you next time.
I'm still waiting to find out my fate. Soooo frustrating
Can someone please tell me what postage did they used to send out the magazines? If it's an 'M' for mailsort 3, then I won't find out until Monday at the earliest where I live. Us posties don't touch that stuff on a Saturday to give ourselves a chance of finishing early!
All in the Mind
Yep I got rejected and I didnae bequeathe
As for the post it reached Norn Iron this morning
That's Northern Ireland for yous who live on the other side of the Irish Sea.
One thing to console myself.
It was freezin this morning as I did my 16 mile run after getting my Dear John Mag and it brought back memories of standing in the rain at last years finish with hypothermia setting in. Mind you, the couple of tins of Stella that my support team supplied at the finish did numb the pain.
Hopefully the weather will be better next April for you lucky sods who got a YES
Postie Boy
Re postage
All I can see is Second class
Where does the M come from?
Thanks Begsie, hopefully that will mean I can find out tomorrow.... perhaps!
The 'M' or mailsort 3 in postman talk is the lowest form of postage possible, below second class. These are normally bulk items such as catalogues and other kind junk sales material. They will have a due delivery date rather than the guaranteed next day for 1st class or 3 days for 2nd class. This means they are the lowest priority items to be sorted and delivered unless the due due date for delivery has arrived. Being second class, if FLM posted everything on Wednesday, we should all know by tomorrow at the latest.
stawberry jam,
I'm in and I bequeathed. Hubby bequeathed and he didn't get a place. Shame because we were going to have a race and he wont consider a golden bond. Hes probably relieved cos he knows I was going to whip his a**e!
I'm in, i'm in!!
5th year of applying had got myself in the mindset of well at least I'll deffo get a place for 2010!
Excited and petrified all at the same time! Here's my emotional range...
I'm in Bristol Jo so some of the South West have heard - nothing had come through for my wife though so there's still hope
Jo - I'm in Exeter & got my place this morning, so marathon news has reached the real South West!
Anyone in East London heard either way?
Im in Surrey and heard zilch. No payment taken from credit card.
Anyone in my area received notification either way?
Busy looking up travel arrangements to Edinburgh - but I'd love London!
Those of you that are in: has your card been debited yet?
I've not had a mag yet, nor has my worldpay agreement been activated. Anyone actually seen money leave accounts?
Enjoy the celebration / commiseration drinks for people who found out today!
For those who haven't like me - good luck for tomorrow - hope we all find out one way or the other.
Can't believe it , second year on the spin.
I was resigned to another 6 year wait after getting in last year. Isn't it early this year?
From Wimbledon,nothing in post, no bank activity. Tomorrow for sure??!!!!
Same here Wixey - nothing for me in Wimbledon either...
yet another sleepness night on the cards!
I think my posite has it in for me.. got in from work yester day and something too big for my letterbox has been delivered.. so just a card from im. maybe he wants to see my disappointment in the flesh? lol
Suppose the reason it doesn't fit must be the fleece from bequeathing.. if i get one of those is that a straight no?
AND he's just been and gone as i wrote this with nothing more for the missu! AAARGH the tension is unbearable!
