  • Just rang them and they said use it the 5 times as indicated and get the questionaire back to us as soon as you can dont worry about the date as that is just a guideline. Oh good as i have panicked before about getting the forms back in time. Dont want them to chuck me off the panel.

    anyone else noted they are getting really scrimpy with the portion sizes for trials? First i got the worlds smallest bar of soap. then today a third of a bottle of body lotion which is meant to last me every day for 2 weeks??? sometimes you get far too much like the 4 pots of creams - 2 day 2 night.. and sometimes not enough to do trials as many times as they asK???

    Postie has just delivered a body lotion (it's only a third full). Not sure if it will last daily use for two weeks. :(

    I had that recently with a conditioner that they sent in a small tube...it was only enough for 3 washes using the amount I would normally use...so I just filled in the questionaire based on that and put details in the other comments...

    although I think reve last night said something similar about small sizes...

    Hope I get something soon...been a bit of a dry spell ...
