Our questions have been answered thanks Catherine, god I feel sick the excitement of it all !!

Hi Catherine, thanks for clarifying what is going to happen next.  Have fun sifting through all the entries.

Thanks Catherine, promise not to move all day so you can get hold of me easily!

JF50

Whats happened, nobody has posted for 40 minutes, am I the only one left in the competiton, or are you all on the phone!

[Deleted User]

Yes John, everybody has been picked except you.

I wanted to say that I couldn't get to my computer because my cat was sitting on it, with photographic evidence. But I can't for the life of me work out how to insert a picture. I pasted something above but it is an empty square. Not sure I'm a competent enough forumer to win

JF50

Sheri, thanks, at least I know now, and thanks for breaking it so gently!

[Deleted User]

I'm well known for my tact and sensitivity.

Don't worry John, there's plenty of time yet.

[Deleted User]

Who else has stopped posting then?............~

If you have a rejection mag you can win a place and  join the Lucozade team (not one of the six!) by submitting 100 words. Closing date is 22nd Nov. I've entered to join the six but don't stand much chance since I'm 52 (but feel and look 10 years younger!). Going to try and win a place through the mag comp.

The thread has gone very quiet compared to the last few days.  Is there anybody out there?

[Deleted User]

nah, we're all just waiting by the phone see since Catherine updated us on proceedings. Now if she said wineers would be notified tomorrow...instead of today and tomorrow

[Deleted User]

Just thought you might have had the call, and had to take the vow of silence on pain of death -or losing your place (which would be even worse).

[Deleted User]

Everyone who's been contacted has stopped posting!!....~

[Deleted User]

So you are not in as well then Flanks?

[Deleted User]

Well, even if I was, which I quite probably am not, I wouldn't be able to say, so I can't really confirm or deny either question without admitting that I am, if I was which I can't admit to because then you would know if I was or not!..I think????~

[Deleted User]

Hey, you should be the PM with an answer like that, sounded as good as Brown answering an awkward question.

JF50

Well if nothing else the advice I think Seren gave about how to move up the activity list works.  I have moved from the 5000 something to 87 this week!

Gotta go the phones going, not a number I recognise!  May be back.

[Deleted User]

OMG, there's a job I'd hate! I wouldn't want to be that unpopular!...........I like to be liked????~

[Deleted User]

errr, I obviously spent WAY to much time here yesterday, I've gone from 122 in the active list, to 12!!

[Deleted User]

Wow Madaussie - that is impressive! I'm still staring at the phone - and also wish they'd said today OR tomorrow for contact purposes!

 Oh well *glares at phone which is refusing to ring*

[Deleted User]

at least my work phone is working today.

maybe I'd better test it.

OlympicNick

Phone charged, email is on, fire lit ready for smoke signals !!!   I'm waiting !!!   Good luck to everyone, hope I can join you ?

[Deleted User]

phone works.

[Deleted User]

Flanks, I guess if you were PM you wouldn't have to enter the ballot or any competition on here to get a place, all you would have to do is ask.  Maybe that is why Gordon was seen out jogging last week, maybe he has a place for next year.  Well if the election is over by then I guess he will have plenty of time on his hands.

[Deleted User]

Man! I haven't got my fire lit for smoke signals! Knew I was going wrong somwhere *scuttles off, obviously still clutching non-ringing phone*

Nicola Nuttall

How stressful is this?

Have had a calls selling me conservatory blinds and a market research survey...maybe they were RW in disguise? Hope not

[Deleted User]

Phew, all done. Phone staring aside, loving how crisp it is outside today - nicely cold but blue sky. Planning a four-miler later and looking forward to it - Autumn is my favourite running time, all the leaves and cold but not freezing.

Anyone with me?

[Deleted User]

Hi All! I thought I'd come back and put some of my sad comments on the forum as well. It was good Catherine enlightened us all with RW's proceedures, wasn't it!! It didn't sstop the forumites' anguish though it seems... However, that allowed me to pull myself away form the PC for a couple of hours and do my weekly shopping!! I'm sure you envy my strength of character...

Btw, thanks to Gill Kellet for his advise! I'll surely enter that one too!

Did I say good luck to all??

Good luck everybody!

JF50

I'm going to eat my lunch now, it'll seem like the afternoon then!  probably have to eat my desk later when I get hungry again, must remember to stop when I get to the phone!
