Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Okay, so given the stress yesterday you'd think they would have more phone lines available...have VLM on speed dial.

I have five previous rejections...and the link wouldn't work last night when I finally got on the site for a guaranteed place. So had to apply for a regular ballot place.

What are my chances guys...are the phones being answered?

I managed to finally get through at about 7.30am this morning, and have had both the confirmation e-mail and the e-mail confirming payment.

I think the trick is to set your alarm for about 5am and have a go then...

Somehow I guess with repeated page crashes and refreshes I have managed to enter Mrs JJ in the ballot twice. Given the statement in the confirmation email - 'One really important thing...Please don’t enter the ballot more than once as this could result in all your entries being cancelled'. I am worried, been trying to ring them but constantly engaged. Either they are very busy with similar problems or have taken the phone off the hook and gone home.
