    I got an email today about a second test on the shampoo and conditioner not really sure if that means more of the same stuff but I am always happy to receive them.

    I received the same email - perhaps they've found a new courier to use!

    I didn't receive a perfume this year. I have answered every single survey bar one when I was on holiday. I have tested products and filled in massive questionnaires. I have always taken a lot of care and attention over this and I have been doing it for years.

    When I asked why I had not received a perfume I was told I was not eligible. I am really hacked off about this - this is the only reason I do the surveys.

    Frankly, from now on I am not going to be careful, or even truthful. In fact I am going to be as random as I can be. It seems fitting.

    Well I hope you don't get kept on the panel for long with that attitude. The reward for doing the surveys is the vouchers you receive. It doesn't say in the T&C's that you will receive perfume as well, this is an added bonus and most people don't get it every year. Yes it seems to be a bit random who they choose to receive it but if you have had it every year until now you should think yourself lucky. Some of us haven't had a thing yet!

    No, when I started on the panel it was because you got a gift - perfume. They also used to send other gifts. There was nothing 'random' about it. The vouchers were a much, much later addition. And there were no T&Cs - that also is very recent, in the last year or so.
