    Thanks beanie and amarshal0810. I feel slightly less harassed by the volume, knowing it's not just me.
    It must have been a busy week in the posting pack division of Swan Lane!!

    I do feel that 7 items in one day is excessive.
    At this rate I will definatly be outed.

    In a note that appeals to to my warped sense of hohour I have an item to post to someone in my own villiage ]next week!!

    The volume has very definatly increased a lot since I started doing it.

    I also notice that they seem to be very slow at sending the LTS reward vouchers after posting cubes ect.

    I have noticed that on weeks where I don't have much to post there is a lot that comes in and on weeks where lots goes out not much comes in.

    Overall though I do think I'm posting overall less than I used to in previous years although the variation of what I am posting has increased to far more cubes than even this time last year.

    Far too many cubes. Luckily I'm not working so I'm at home to answer the door to the postie. I've told TMS I no longer want to be involved in the survey so life should be peaceful again soon. I started doing it about 10 years ago and it was a lot easier then - the number of cubes got to me in the end and that's why I have stopped being on the panel.

    During my present time on the live panel I am receiving more items to post out (not an issue) but never seem to win the daily £10.00 draw. However in the past I have always been lucky in their daily draws and I was sending less then.

    Well, I'm still not being invited to any of the ad hoc surveys for some reason but after having my fair share of cubes, had my first medium parcel ever to post this week.

    Despite during the survey for ages, I've never had to send or receive one before - in that sense, I seem to have been luckier(?) than others here though missing out on the vouchers.

    So I went to the post office and at the counter they put it through as a small parcel instead! Still first class though so who knows when it will arrive.. I just hope the receiver isn't charged anything.

    On a related note, if you receive an item with an APL on, I always say it's been postmarked as the label includes the date it was printed, and I have never seen one which has been franked. Do others also do this?

    It used to be stated somewhere that an APL is a postmark for the purposes of logging.

    You lot backing out obviously is having an effect. This week is my last and just received a message asking if I would do another 6 months.

    Well enjoy and do not moan. (I am not saying you moan) but you must have an area that they are actually tracking or do not have many panelists.

    Do you have to log in daily to be in a chance to win the Daily Draw?

    I also received 3 SMARTs in one envelope from a different pannelist today - I think they had got a bit confused :o
