This morning the postman knocked at the door..... My heart fell for it could only be the fleece!! A single ray of hope was that the fleece was for my wife who also entered, followed by a desperate wish that the fleece was for me so I could be the one to stay in bed on these cold winter mornings. In the end it was a package for the previous occupant - long gone, why can't some companies work out how to change people's addresses. So I live to hope for one more day at least.
This is like waiting for Christmas> Iknow my cheque has been cashed and I haven't bequeathed but I still can'nt sleep at night waiting for the post. SAD!
I'm late for work cos I waited for the postman - and 15 minutes after he normally arrives he still hadn't turned up. Hopefully he wasn't weighed down by a heavy fleece. Now I'll be wondering all day.
It is almost too much to bear, nothing from postman pat yesterday and opening the front door this evening will be a key moment (pardon the pun) in my year.
Reserve plan is to run for the Guide Dogs but they have a ballot as well.....
OK I expect you all to go the the URWFRC website and update your details immediately. We want to see who is in and what times you are all hoping to do so we can arrange meeting points and running groups etc.
Thanks for reminding me, SB - just been and done it.
I have to admit that I'm a little disappointed not to get a fleece, in a bizarre far-too-sad kind of way, because I nearly live in fleeces and an FLM one would have been a nice addition....
I know, SB, I'm one of those "mugs" who handed over a wodge of cash for an FLM technical shirt in 2001 - which I love, as it kept me very cool over the summer.
Yep, I'm in as well! How nervous was I opening that envelope?!!! Must admit I'm actually looking forward to all the training (have run it 3 times so I know what's in store!) and for anyone out there who hasn't yet run it; it will be one of the most memorable days of your life so treasure every second (minute, hour, day?...) GOOD LUCK EVERYONE AND I'LL SEE YOU THERE!!
Got my acceptance form today (though I knew I would be in through a Good For Age place). Still excited to receive it and looking forward to training tonight.
Doesn't even matter if it chucks it down tonight and the lanes are a mud bath tonight will still be a good run!
I did phone FLM a couple of days ago who reckong the mailing will take place over a week or so.
I would like to know for certain (cheque's been cashed but I still don't believe I'm in) before I go to the physio tonight. Knowing my luck he's going to tell me I'll never run again!
I havent heard as yet but sounds like it could be up to a week or so ? What would be the latest to wait before chasing them up ? anybody know. My cheque was cashed but cnanot remember if I bequeathed !
I spoke to someone at FLM this morning, they said that if you haven't heard by 9th December then call and they will have a database to look info up on.
Did not get into London, my fleece arrived this morning (with dear John…) My only hope now is to get the club entry and as I’m the only member of the club who applied, I’m hopeful

But that is because the travel agency has not asked for any money yet

First time of entering, can't believe it!
My wife (fat girl slim) hasn't heard yet though.
