Nope, nothing. Starting to envy the people who had the bad news early on....

Its all crazy,crazy. I cannot believe that letters are not been sent because decisions haven't been finalised. Decisions made on an ad hoc basis like that would result in chaos. Although it might explain this ridiculous process....
Not everyone who's letter has not been generated can be on a reserve list because of the disproportionate amount of people still waiting- as you say Impending hardly anyone turns down an award. In my case a letter has been generated but the letter has not been sent, how do they explain that? Might they change their decision? I doubt it.

Personally I don't believe anything their telling us at the moment. Best to sit tight and meditate....

Just had an email from the AHRC (sent it before I phoned yesterday) they have changed their story a little. Letter has been generated but they have no idea when it will be sent!!!!???? Hopefully I should receive it by the end of the month!!!??? WHY!!!??? If it's generated why can't it be sent?

I'm confused, what is going on???

Nothing for me today.
Boo to the TLoDs!

You're in good company bagofnerves! I'm in similar situation, self funded the 1st year of my PhD and might have to call it a day if (more likely when) I get the dreaded letter. Unfortunately a Uni studentship won't be enough...

MissHopeful - I spoke to the first person that answered the phone about the status of my app. she didn't get a chance to transfer me!

Stressed - You're a star for your continuing support. I hope your Uni will have good news for you soon!

Don't forget we are all in this together - I am truly humbled by the support on this forum, long may it continue!

You should go for it MissHopeful, at least you'll get a rough idea if you can expect a response any time soon. Might defer the stomach churning nausea for a few days!

I phoned 0117 987 6666 soarous, hope it helps!

Oh dear think i've started something now haven't I?

Doesn't mean anything at all... don't worry on that score.

No BobNic, don't worry about making up a story they don't mind telling you if your letter's been generated. I agree soarous this whole process is ridiculous, email would have been the best and simplest option. I'm aware that there are reserve lists for offers not taken up but this would only concern a small minority of applicants so really there are no excuses.

Altogether now... 'Why are we waiting....' - you know the rest!

Oh by the way, I was also told all the letters are nearly done. So news is on its way for us all. The disparity between the date on the letter and when it is received is explained by the checking process (sounds exciting!!!) in between. This is taking about a week from what I can gather.

YIPPEEEEEE DEATH ROW HERE I COME!!!!

Phoned the AHRC, my letter was generated last week.... any day now then! Very, very scared now, but like the rest of you guys who are still waiting I just want to know now whatever the outcome.

I thought today was the day.... it wasn't. Nothing again.

Unlucky Fricklesnarp, glad you've got the money to continue though. Good luck with everything.

Thanks Chrisrolinsky, did think that this would be the case but you can never be ceratin with the AHRC. Keep imagining one person sitting in a tiny room having to send out all our letters with an allowance of only two 2nd class stamps a day!!! I'm hoping I will get mine by Christmas, think think might be too ambitious though.

Just email postgrad officer @ AHRC for my panel to see if my letter had been generated and guess what he's on annual leave! Aaaahh does that mean that no letters are being sent out until he comes back???? Im stressed now....
