I've been offered two places with charities, Unicef and someone else, but I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that I get a place, as I'd rather not have to raise £1,500.
My friend just recieved a email saying this from the london marathon. So looks like it won't be the 30th November that online entrants find out ARSE!!!

I just got that one too - how bl**dy annoying is it!!!
They build you up with a title that leads you believe you're getting info then say "you'll be informed by post between 30th Nov - 10th Dec & you'll be able to check online from the 10th Dec" - what's the flaming point of that?? We should be nearly starting to train now!!! Talk about wasting time & money, I though this was a big charity event???
Have I got this right? We won't be able to check on-line from 30th, we have to wait for an e-mail but if the e-mail doesn't turn up we can check on-line on the 10th
You will get a postal notification soem time after 30th Nov (the Accepted or Rejects magazine). If you haven't got this by 10th then you can check on line.
Who suspects that they were worried about 10,000 of us crashing their servers on 30th?
Can't check my emails from work so I may have received one.
So it's a letter we're waiting for not an email? Rather hoped that by entering online we'd avoid the whole 'waiting for the postie to deliver (or mis-deliver) the yes/no/b*gger off envelope' scenario!
I haven't had the e-mail either. Does that mean I'm in?
Also a bit pi$$ed off. When we entered on-line we were told that we could check whether we were in on 30th November. Not too happy to now find out that it could be almost another 2 weeks before we hear. But, of course, DB et al know that there's bu**er all we can do about it .
Yes - I was hoping that we would find out a couple of weeks earlier too, just so I could snap up one if the 1000 places left at Paris. Now I just have to keep training for a race that I might not even be in....

still 13 days to go before notification if you entered online.

Rant over, back to the big wait .
Here's hoping, or is it hopping?
I'm getting confused - easily done!
Have I got this right? We won't be able to check on-line from 30th, we have to wait for an e-mail but if the e-mail doesn't turn up we can check on-line on the 10th
Got the e-mail too.

Who suspects that they were worried about 10,000 of us crashing their servers on 30th?
I notice that some people have recieved the email and some haven't...
Mmmm, perhaps this is another "Has your cheque been cashed scenario...."
I got an email and bequeathed.... am I in or not?.....
FIN
Can't check my emails from work so I may have received one.

Yes i got the e-mail too
Rather frustrating as if i had done the usual thing then i could have checked my account weeks ago to see if my unbequeathed cheque had been cashed
Yup, got it too.
