I emailed ESRC trying to see if my institution was sent last Friday or shall be sent today and this is the response I received:
Dear Allan
Unfortunately all letters have been taken to the mail room for today’s posting so unfortunately, I cannot confirm when individual institutions were posted.
Kind regards

It seems that we shall all hear tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest. I have been receiving emails from my potential supervisor saying that our Nom Con was sent an email late last week saying that results shall be released this week or early next week. It seems that luckily, it shall be within the next couple of days from the responses we have received. Good luck everyone!
I've just heard from my Nom Con that RHUL haven't heard yet and should be within next few days (as we know)...

No news from Nom Con yet; however my potential supervisor emailed me at 10am saying that RHUL haven't heard yet and she predicts it shall be next week now. I'm still hoping for some news today though! Has anyone else heard anything yet?
Thank you for your reply SocDave! Interesting that you got a more specific response; however a good one nonetheless. I will be checking my emails all day on Friday now then.
In regards to funding, ESRC is my last optionwe for this year. My potential supervisors and I also applied for ESRC/MRC Interdisciplinary Studentship; however we heard at the end of May that we were unsuccessful with that one.
Yeah, that is fair enough! I understand what you mean and that's a reason why I booked my hols in September. I cannot wait for this wait to be over now...
Mixilgt - Yes, true. In a way, it's nice not to feel that I have to check my emails so many times a day now...until Monday.
SocDave - Sorry to hear that. It's bad timing on their part...maybe you can check emails at an Internet Cafe or something?
I also emailed the ESRC a few days ago and have just received their response:
Dear Allan
The decision letters are due to go out at the end of this week and are sent to our nominated contacts at the universities. It is they that forward the decisions to the students.
