    Goodness, I count myself fortunate then because I've still received a few this year, even 3 in a month. Admittedly much less than before when I'd have 5 or 6 trials running at once and arriving all the time.

    I have only had four test product so far this year, 29 last year & 44 the year before so the test products are definitely becoming extinct as time goes on :(

    Just started it... probably not the best time. One hour til midnight, but at least I'm not working tomorrow.

    Never done a Boots survey as I only joined last month. Are they always like this???

    Did a Lipstick one recently that was quite short for £5 and a few months ago there was a skin one (£5 or £10) that was really long, about two hours :eek: and very repetitive. Normally they are a test produce and a very very short survey follow up.

  • The lipstick one i did had 468 pictures with multiple choice questions, it saod it would take 2 hours but it took just over an hour...got the child to help!!
    I don't think they are normally this long but they do make you aware that it is ling and to take a break the £20 gift voucher will come handy.

    Just had an invite to the lipstick survey. It took me 35-40 mins which is great and the £20 will come in handy as having a baby in August :)

    I havn't received my voucher yet but I do remember that in order to complete the test you had to tick yes/no to several questions and at the bottom of the tick list it said that if you completed the questionaire as indicated boots would send you the payment by a date in may....I think from memory it was around the 11th or 13th but I cant quite remember....So my guess is we should receive something either next week or the start of the week after.
