    These trials do seem to be a tad random don't they?

    I have all four of those showing too but has anyone worked out yet the definitions of what "Registered", "Requested" etc actually mean? (I have been following this thread for a while but don't have the eye power to go back over 100 pages!)

    I just tend to say yes to most things and if I get something in the post then it's a bonus :D

    Registered or requested means you have registered your interest in the trial
    In progress means the Boots team are picking the 65 people to test the product.
    Completed means they have picked the people to receive the samples.

    They have said they will be changing there system because it is confusing when it says completed and it doesnt mean you will get it

    Yeah, and loads of stuff says 'In Progress' when it finished ages ago!
    It would be good and clearer for everyone if they did clarify this better!
    :rolleyes:
    "Buy me, Lady", said the frock, "and I will make you into a BEAUTIFUL & WHOLE & COMPLETE human being".
    "Do not be silly", said the Man, "for a frock alone cannot do that".
    "True", said the Lady, "I will have the shoes and the bag as well".

    I know I have in progress from trials in september last year still !
    Thats why I emailed them and asked them to explain and they sent me what I posted above but as you quite rightly say, they could make it way more simpler and be consistent!

    No - but it came up a few days ago..........

    If I remember rightly, it was whether you'd be prepared to receive a survey by email about leg shaving..........

    " We would like to gather feedback from people who usually shave their legs. If you wish to participate, a short questionnaire will be sent to your email account, asking for your opinions regarding how often you shave your legs etc. If you wish to participate within this research, please register your interest. The questionnaire will follow within approximately 7 days. "

    "Do not be silly", said the Man, "for a frock alone cannot do that".
    "True", said the Lady, "I will have the shoes and the bag as well".
