    Tenth Anniversary Combo Breaker Debt-free and Proud!
    Judging from what's been taken from my account I have tickets for the Opening Ceremony for sure. Too soon to tell what else, if anything, I might get in the lucky dip.

    Yey that's fantastic
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales

    Wow, well done!

    I think I got my dressage tickets which means I can just go down for the day, so I'm happy about that :j

    :( It looks like we have't got anything - still no money gone from the account. Starting to lose heart now.

    We haven't had anything taken from our account yet either. We will be more concerned if nothing had been taken by the end of next week!

    There is still time yet and they can't take everyone's money all at the same time!!

    Fingers crossed for you. I'm hoping its going in surname order or something as mine's a W so be right at the end as always..

    I hope you're right as I'm W too and nothing yet for me or OH (applied for 10 events each)

    ETA credit card spend/available balance total less than my credit limit by £336 so there is a chance I've got something as I haven't used that card for anything else. Fingers crossed

    Nothings been taken from my account yet but my available and actual balance are always the same so I'm hoping I might end up with some. I only applied for events which would be fairly popular I think and the opening ceremony. Hoping family might have more luck. Can't wait till I find out either way so I can stop obsessively checking my balance!

    I'm a W and I've had my money taken. It could just be random you know ;)

    I'm delighted to get tickets for the Olympic Games, it's for the Artistic Gymnastics on Thursday 2nd August:j:

    Women's Individual All-Around Final
    Women's Individual All-Around Victory Ceremony

    How do I know which event? It's because the ticket prices were different for each of the events I applied for. I'm keeping fingers and toes crossed that I get some of the others I applied for.

    Good luck everyone.

    I've had nothing taken yet, but wondered if it was to do with the selection via event rather than name. Will be a bit peeved if I don't get anything.... :(

    Ooooh I'm jealous! I applied for that but didn't get it. I assumed it meant that you watched the final and then the ceremony, i.e. both not just one of them :)

    Sorry to the people that haven't got them yet, I keep going on about it :o I feel so lucky :o
