My old bank sent someone else's letter to me behind my own letter. So I complained as they have breached data protection act legislation, and they are sending me £75 compensation :j :j
I have also sent the letter to the correct person explaining what happened so they can put their own complaint in.

Nice one! Well done and good for you being a Good Samaritan and helping the other person to get £75 too:T. Maybe they'll get even more than £75 as it was their data being compromised.

I've been really lucky today after nothing for ages. I too have had a 20p one but then also one for two pounds and one for 1.50.

Re ebay postage charges, I always incorporate the postage fee into the price and then offer free postage, it makes no difference to costs now that ebay take commission on the postage too :mad: and saves any ill feeling.

I wonder if your 20p study was the same as mine.Really strangely worded, especially the intro, as if it was by a non-native speaker although it was from the University of Durham if I remember correctly. It was about supermarket price rises.

Great tip about the eBay postage:T. Everyone likes to think they've got something for free, even though they've really paid for it in other ways:rotfl:

So I'm clutching at straws here! Can I use shop discount towards my target? I had £40 shop vouchers from my birthday and bought something today for £40 with 10% discount, saving me £4.00, which I got back in cash.

Yes you can. Happy belated birthday 🎂

Aesop do you know if any company other than TNS does UK postal surveys? I think it was Kantar that used to run them when I first started doing them but I think they joined up/were taken over/were replaced by TNS who I did them with later but was sacked by:eek:

Woohoo passed the 200 post mark :j


Thankyou to everyone who is posting. It's lovely to read your posts and share ideas.

It's also a great trigger for things we forget about, like using Amazon to sell things and recycling ink cartridges.

Another thing I do is collect used postage stamps. I still get letters with stamps. I know someone who buys the postage stamps. He resells them and takes out for his own collection.

I will post details later. I have been working with him for a few years.

Yes I think ipsos does them too. Have a look for #2 postal surveys. I listed the companies that we most use.

Then that one abroad too.

I rarely receive letters with real stamps on any more:(. I get loads of post but it's mainly business post with machine stamping on.

I know about the foreign ones, I've done the Quotas one for ages. It was a UK one I was interested in to make up for the loss of the TNS survey. Will check Ipsos in a mo. Thanks:T

Me too.. I liked looking at the pictures on the stamps, but now it is just cards and postcards that I get them on. I even remember steaming them off to save them in an album as a child.. absolutely no idea what happened to that!

No real progress for me today.. done a couple of surveys and waiting for confirmation of my regular saver interest still. Got end of the week fatigue/blues and needed a break today. Back to it Monday after hopefully a bit of a break this weekend!
