Last thing I got off them was the letter which I had to sign for confirmation, not heard anything from them after that, might call them up :/

they're are a wierd set of contradictions. i regualrly send in my forms late in the first term, and get a response within two weeks. So... I've settled for submitting mine in late now each year. Sounds wierd but at least it gets done quicker for me!

Out of curiosity, has anyone on FMUK gone on a 'date' with another FMUK? As in met on FMUK and went on a date after to a free screening? Not that I'm encouraging people to meet up strangers or that this is some dating forum. I was just wondering.... :p
