Like you, I am waiting for the outcome of funding applications, and can't follow through on offers of a place unless I am funded. In my experience, offers of a phd place are freely handed out by universities, but offers of funding are almost like golddust. I have a first class degree and a distinction in my masters (my discipline is English literature) but I have not received funding despite offers of places from universities, and being told that I have a strong phd proposal. It is incredibly disheartening to be in this situation, I don't know what I need to do or change to get funding.
That's just my experience though, I hope you get everything you have applied for!
