    I seem to be getting more and more trials to test. I had a stage where it was nothing and now it's loads of things. I just apply for everything that comes up and give it away to other family members and friends. Makes you popular. I used to be choosy but read that others give them to family so decided to just hit apply and loads come my way.

    I've noticed that some of the trials on the list appear to have expired, but you can still register for them? Should I just ignore these?

    Same here Reverbe! I used to get loads and now, my trials are very few and far between!

    It got to the point where I seemed to mainly only ever receive bath foams and shower gels. I have actually started to say 'no thanks' to a quite a few trials now and have found I am getting some of the things that I want ... just not very often!! :(

    It doesn't feel as if I've had lots to test from Boots either this year...so it prompted me to count up what I've had...and I was really surprised that I've had 30 things to test since the beginning of the year...so not as bad as I thought....

    What I have noticed is that I never seem to get more than 3 things to test at a time whereas in previous years I've had up to 6 in any one time ...so I guess they may be increasing the panel size and limiting the products a bit more than they used to.

    Interesting. I have been on a while and in the beginning I didn't get much at all but I was choosy what I was applying for. Just stuff that I wanted and men's only and always in the evening so my chances were low. Then Sarah 1972 said she also applies for men's etc and gives to her husband so I decided to apply for everything and as soon as possible.

    Yesterday got purple eye shadow and today massage oil. Both will go to SIL to test. Also doing hair mist so have 3/4 on the go right now.

    Maybe Boots rotate us and that is why I am getting loads or just lucky. Who actually knows how they really do it?

    Am sure it will pick up for you again....

    I seem to get maybe 2 at once then nothing for about 2 weeks. I'll check if I'm right with that. Today I received a lilac-y eyeshadow. Definitely not my usual colour, although I did say yes to a purple eyeshadow (I always think of purple as darker, I never think of the lighter shades of it :rotfl::o)
