Has no one had the money debited yet? I thought that was the sure fire way in previous years to tell if you'd got a place or not. The cheque was cashed around the 30th Oct, then the mags came out the week later.
If you're poorly, LB, you should be in bed all day, so yes, it IS bedtime. Go and get a cup of tea and get back under the duvet and stop worrying about oversized fleeces. Love from your mum. xx
Last year the 1000 extra places were drawn after the main ballot and that's how I got in (straight after I assume rather than a while later). If you've been rejected, short of a charity place, you are still rejected as there are no further draws.
I was glad to see my rejection (I want to try a few different marathons before I do London again so am hoping I get in at the 6th attempt) but was disappointed to see they sent me a Medium jacket which shouldn't get near me.
It fits me perfectly though so the jackets must be seriously oversized.
Seriously oversized doesn't even describe them WD. I ordered a small and it's huge! I won't be bequeathing again. My cat loves his new blanket though...
I am more annoyed about the completely SH*T fleece than the fact I am not in. I've got a medium and it's RIDICULOUS.
Honestly, FLM - I hope you're reading this. Next time, please don't bother sending us your "gifts". I can't wear it so it's pointless. Surely you know that runners don't generally look like Rick Waller?
LB, you mean Mr LB didn't get in either? That's pants. (PS I haven't been on RW all day - honest!)
Mr MT can wear my fleece. I'm 5'7 and size 8 "up top" and he's 5'11 and normally takes a large in tops - but it should fit him. And that was the small fleece!

It doesn't look like this does it????
Bad luck, Bear.... me next no doubt!
have you got the pack then Bear?
no one else?
Actually Bear, wasn't there something about an additional 1000 places going out to bequeathers a bit later in the year or something?

Thanks mum!
(just need to get my injection first.....)
We didn't send a cheque. I think we used Visa. And we bequeathed. If you do that, they take it straight away don't they?
I haven't had anything yet. I might be in!!!! or more likely there are to many loser packs to post all at once.
Or the postie is late.
Bloody postie's
Just got my fleece.
It's a small, but I could wear it as a dress and put both my kids in it at the same time...
But on the plus side, if I don't have to train for a marathon next spring, I can actually have a life! Yay!
Ah well, 2 more fleeces and they have to accept my ballot application!!!!!

Both my hubby and I bequeathed and he got his fleece today. I'm hoping that means I'm in. We'll see tomorrow.
Ours DID arrive.....

Or is this a batch for Americans?
