    I've bitten the bullet and emailed them (ever so nicely) to ask if there is a problem with either my details or me...as I've not heard from them since September last year...felt quite bad but at least it might put my mind at rest and I'll just keep hanging on...
    All these years since I left school and I've never once had to use Algebra

    I hate all you people getting the rose toner! LOL they cancelled it for me just above, and now other people seem to be getting invited to do it - and I'm not one of them :(

    Does anyone know how much the time of day you said you check your email most often affects it? I said morning, so I'm wondering if this is why.

    But mine doesn't seem to really be cancelled though, seeing as people above have been invited to exactly the same thing. Clearly it jst doesn't like me!

    Has anyone else had any "out of place" questions on their product questionnaires lately?

    I completed a baked beans trial yesterday, I answered a few questions about the products but then it went on to ask me about my Easter egg buying habits, which offers would tempt me into buying more Easter eggs, then went on to ask which luxury treats I would take to a desert island with me and what my "last meal" would be :eek:

    I get the feeling I'm being used as some sort of unpaid market research guinea pig here, I'm wondering what's going on. Things definitely seem to be changing round Ayton recently.

    Also I had a hand mask trial with an email asking me not to allow the packaging to influence my answers. The product was clearly labelled with the brand name, however hard I try it definitely has an influence on my answers knowing the product name in advance, I'd prefer a "blind" test. Weird thing is though, the product is Sanctuary but smells identical to the Neals Yard body lotion I trialled some months back.
    All very strange:cool:

    ETA In addition to ClixResearch being mentioned, the site now seems to be called Consumer Research, rather than Cosmetic Research
  • I was testing the cereal bar and chocolate bar and i too had the desert island and last meal questions - very strange :confused:

    I'm testing a scrub at the moment; the code is also PAO. The packaging isn't very helpful... Wonder what the brand can be.
