    Hello everybody.

    Just some advice needed. I have done this for two runs. I was having to go to the RM delivery office every other week to collect the brown envelope with all my sender stuff as it was too big for my letterbox. Therefore I withdrew from it as it was miles to travel.

    I then thought about using my parent's address nearby which is the same postcode as me. So I registered again using their address. But i will only be going there on a Saturday to collect all the mail. I have been accepted and my mum agreed to write the date and time of receipt of everything with my name on.

    Do you know if it will be okay to do the data entry part once each week? (as I will collect all the mail on a Saturday from Mum and Dads house)

    Thanks V much in advance for help.

    I think it will be okay but you may need to make additional trips to your parent's house at the end of the month/start of the month because TNS send e-mails at the beginning of every month (usually the 2nd) saying:

    "In order for your data to be included in this month’s results please could you ensure that data entry is complete and all queries resolved by the end of today."

    So if you don't pick up and record any mail received on the 30th or 31st March and don't pick it up until Sat 4th April you'll miss the deadline of the 2nd of April to enter it onto the system.

    Im looking at the questions that you have to answer as indication to become a panelist...



    If you are not living at the property where you will have the mail delivered,how have you answered this question


    Do you live at this address 7 days a week?


    I would suggest that actually it may not be acceptable for you to join the panel under the conditions you suggest....sorry that I disagree with the other poster above but I dont feel that you actually meet the criteria.


    Part of the terms and conditions also state


    confirm the following information to be true.




      • I am normally available to record receipt of my mail Monday to Saturday and no other members of my household are likely to discard items of mail I receive.
      Again you have quite clearly said that you would only be able to enter details once a week.

      If in doubt why not email the panel to clarify your intention

      Anyone intending to use their L2S vouchers in Poundstretcher, I have just been told that after April they will not be accepting them. I am not sure if that is after the beginning of April or after the end, but would assume it to be from 1st April. I haven't heard if any other retailers will be following suit, and haven't heard if there will be any new retailers to replace Poundstretcher.

      My son tried to spend some L2S vouchers at Currys last weekend. However, they refused to accept them. They are accepting L2S gift cards though!

      Just checked on the list of outlets which accept L2S vouchers, and Curry's are not listed.

      The list can be seen at http://www.highstreetvouchers.com/COMMON/pdfs/l2s-voucher-retail-list.pdf
