I've been looking forward to this for ages, and started to get a bit anxious this week when I realized my race pack hadn't come through. Emailed them today to check what's happening, confirmed my address as there are actually two people with my name on the entrants' list, and guess what? Neither of them are me. Nice lady asked me to confirm my PayPal receipt, and I've just gone through Outlook inbox with growing sense of doom.

It appears I never, actually, so to speak, in fact, entered. :-(

Now that you've stopped laughing at me, does anyone have a number going spare??

I've done that myself before now, IM, but luckily I still managed to get a place. Good luck.

I just know the day will come when I'll turn up for a race thinking I've entered it only to discover I've actually done nothing of the kind... at least you realised in time. Glad it's sorted :)

I did a search for Basingstoke and this thread popped up! So I thought that, since your name is on the list of fetchies doing this year's, I'd just check that you did actually enter this year Ironmum :)

LOL Fleecy! Yep, I have my race number and everything - I make lots of cock-ups on a daily basis but I always try to make sure they're NEW cock-ups ;-)
I don't know if they did it deliberately to punish me, but the race pack this year has a picture on the front with writing in a box, and the box is slapped squarely over what was actually quite a nice pic of me. All you can see is my feet :-)
Are you doing it??
