    Fortunately the number was noted on another document. DS and I both have a card - they appear to no longer issue them.

    No DS2 didn't get one either. I think this is budget cutting too far. The cards were useful.

    How strange...

    I assumed they were 'automatically' sent out to everyone!

    I now have two lever arch boxes with instructuion leaflets in; but organised into 'kitchen' and elsewhere.

    have put some in recycling as no longer needed - not many though. But the leaflet for the old kettle and old iron have now both gone. I have filled the shredder already so shall be appreciative of the special bag the council brought round on Thursday!
