Has your cheque cashed yet?

Got my fleece today. Another 2/11 person but I have entered Rotterdam today as well, so actually feeling quite excited.

Hmm, I bequeathed, cheque cashed on 02/11 and still no sign of any letter. Knowing my luck, the fleece will arrive tomorrow.

Wait and see what tomorrow's post brings..

[Deleted User]

Hi
Yeah, same here cheque cashed 2/11 and no news. I know that probably means not in as successful date seems to be 28/10, but until you get letter, you're not 100 per cent sure. ;-( ...

Cheque cashed on 02/11 and I bequeathed but nothing from the postie. I am not in tomorrow so will probably have to go and pick it up from the post office on Thurs ;-(
Looking at the Rome marathon after spending last weekend there :-)

Still nothing here wither, cheque cleared 2/11

silly question but the ones saying 28/10, is that the date it came out of your account? Because cheques cashed on 28/10 would clear 2/11

got my fleece this morn, good job too, it's getting pretty cold when i'm coaching up at the track.

Wonder if he has got rid of last years rain jacket and replaced it with a brand new fleece......

But according to their phone line you should start worrying if it hasn't turned up by the 12th. So could be nearly another long week to wait yet.

Hi
Got my fleece! At least know for sure now that I'm not in! :-(
I don't want a charity place as was gonna run for Little Hearts Matters, who haven't got any bonds. :-( At least theres guaranteed entry if you enter 5 times or something!
Good luck to all those who are in! I'll watch you on the tele! Good luck to those who don't know yet.
love

Didn't get in either.Nor did my son.
Boo hoo !!
Still at least it's one race he cannot say he's beaten me in.....yet !!!
Good luck to all who have got in.
To those who haven't,never mind there's always either next year or maybe another Marathon in this country or even abroad.
I've heard good things about Amsterdam (Mmmm and it's not the Red Light area either !).
Enjoy !!!

Cheque cleared 02/11 and got my fleece today. Asked for small size and it's still way too big - no good for females. Sulkingly going to troll the race pages to look for another one to do. Don't want to wait until Cardiff, and off to the F1 in Silverstone which is the same day as the Edinburgh one so that's out. (Sigh....)

got my fleece today

does this also mean the extra places have been allocated too?

[Deleted User]

Yeah small fleece is massive isn't it? Nice and soft though!
I think extra places have gone too. :-(
My sister didn't get in either. We'd love to run it together, but it's hard to guarantee that isn't it?

Well I'm really cheesed off.............I didn't bequeath my entry fee so assumed that as my cheque had been cashed I was in. Unfortunately, I received a really naff fleece this morning!!! Grrrr.

[Deleted User]

oh well, form and cheque off to St John in morning, lucky I had got a place already sorted with them, just in case

[Deleted User]

Fleece and FLM News received yesterday (great pic of Paula on page 27 !!!). Bequeathed and cheque cashed 2/11, so looks like the theory was correct. No energy drink powder included though, maybe this was just for successful applicants. Still I now have a Golden Bond place and a "thinner-than-expected-but-still-fits-OK" fleece

Fleece arrived yesterday <8~( - Stratford Mara here I come!

[Deleted User]

Winkle, that's bad that you didn't bequeath and they charged you for fleece!
Sorry, what a let down.

[Deleted User]

Er, you couldn't have ticked that box by mistake could you?

If not, I guess someone pushed the wrong key on the computer (must be easy enough with the number of entries they've got to process). If you aren't happy have you tried phoning them? Maybe you could get your money back?

[Deleted User]

Yeh...that's bad that you did not bequeath but got the fleece anyway. I did bequeath and got fleece today! Just like Simon Smith's post I will be sending my registration fee to St John's Ambulance too as have got a GB place sorted. I will be so excited and undeniably scared when I get my pack from them with a running number - then its gonna be a reality that I am gonna try and run 26 miles! This first timer is v excited and looking forward to the training!

winkle

I'm pretty sure I didn't tick the box..........I pledge to some charities regularly and felt I had to draw the line somewhere.........BUT I suppose I could have made a mistake.

I can't say the thought of phoning to sort it out was appealing - 'For Customer Service press 1, if we sent you a fleece by accident press 453. You are now 183rd in the queue!'

Anyway, after initial inspection of fleece I was quite disappointed but it did keep me warm today. How big do they think a medium sized person is though..........this thing is gigantic! No more 'does my bum look big in this', my bum disappeared from view altogether!

Good luck with the training Julianne. One thing to not with St John, their vests are very small, I always wear a Medium but nearly split their "medium" vest (either that or a had a lot of excess left from xmas last year)

Also you don't see groups of supporters like you do with NSPCC, Children with Leukemia (sp) etc but on the other hand, everyone with a tub of vaseline is a supporter - very handy in docklands
