    I have received a bag to post with a small piece of polystyrene in. I do not know how I am going to face handing that over in the post office. At least Kantar put the polystyrene in a box. That made it a better but it is obvious what this is. What normal person would be paying all that money to post that it would go through a letter box.
    Knitting sample - my daughter makes them all the time to send to magazines.
    It is an oblong piece about 8 inches long about 1 inch thick and 5 inches wide, it is not squashy like knitting wool

    And it’s not heavy enough to go in a parcel post box either, unless you’re putting something much heavier in on top of it to force it into the box.

    Has anyone else noticed the glitch with the UM survey has been fixed today? I’ve got dates up to 10 April now showing. Also, new photos of different items that are due.

    Just earned my second £25.
    I have wondered if how much they ask you to do may depend on area population? I have been with them right from the beginning of their test phase and have only just got my first £25. I live rurally.
    I've often wondered this too. I've been on the panel since last October, am in London and have so far received two vouchers and am about halfway to my third. This does seem to back up their "every nine weeks" claim.

    I posted my first item for them on the 6th March. I got my first voucher on Saturday. I do think however that I’ve been busier than some. I’ve done 2 correctly delivered and 1 unaddressed survey, although I haven’t finished the latter yet so haven’t had those points. The points soon mount up!

    Ditto - just claimed my second voucher - got 300 points for completing my first CS survey.

    The app has bundles to late April so if they are about to rest me that's fine as that will be 7 months.  As long as I get a decent Presentation Pack.
    I need to think of something new here...

    I had a christmas 2022 presentation pack, delivered in January. I wasn't impressed.
