When do I find out I have been unlucky in the London Marathon ballot again?

Hey,
If you bequeate your entry but get in, do you still get the sweatshirt or not? I've been told I have a sweatshirt and large envelope at home and I really want to know if I'm in or not.

I'm in! First timne of entering, so rather shell shocked to say the least!
I've not paid anything yet, but have a link to go and pay ASAP!!! I'll wait until my hands are shaking less before I do that I think. Congrats to everyone else who got a place, and commiserations to those that didn't.
another no for me...boo hiss. Past surprised by now tbh, kind of expect it.
Ed, didn't prepay so not sure but seem to remember it's an either/or on the entry/sweatshirt thing. Hope for you i got that wrong...
Edit ... not that I wanted one!!
Proves it is a random ballot because I got a ballot place two years ago. Total score is 12 applications and two ballot results.
I am having to start running almost as if from the start after a groin injury has kept me off running since May.
Guess what !
Arrggghhhh!!!! I won't know until I get home!
And that's if it arrives today. Why are some people getting fleeces? My first time of entering so I'm really trying not to to get excited about finding out as I most likely won't get in. It's not working though! 
Milton Keynes, here I come.
Hi everyone,
Can someone give me the definitive answer on the 5-times-rejected situation? I got the email back in march as i've a string of previous rejections - I'm pretty sure that my first unsuccessful application was in 2007 (for the 2008 marathon), which means I would have had 4 rejections already. Does this mean that if i'm unsuccessful this year and hence hit the magic 5 times rejected, that I will be given a place for THIS year, or for NEXT year.

At my fifth attempt I have got a place, so will be doing Brighton and London now! After so many commiserations magazines I keep having to look to make sure it says congratulations!
toby - banana - If you are rejected again this time and its your fifth rejection, I believe you will get a place for 2013.
Thanks Charlotte. Congrats on getting your place!

Cheers Runner888 - i'm sure you will anyway, but would appreciate it if you could let us know if you have indeed got in
Yes, I am in! all I have to do now is to get on the start line with out any injuries! Good luck to everyone.
