    I wonder if this is a sign of things to come from Royal Mail under its new ownership - my post this morning (1 small parcel and 3 Election Communications) was chucked on top of the bins just inside the gate. Luckily the Postie was so proud of the service provided that he took a photo of it as proof of delivery of the parcel!  Needless to say this has been reported as a 'doorstepped delivery' on  the current survey but really not sure that the garden gate counts as a doorstep (particularly when I'm in a first floor flat ...)

    Don’t worry, once the postie realises you are on the survey, you will get much better treatment!

    This time around I have had two £25 vouchers already - only getting 1-2 packs a week to post but am receiving a large amount of incoming mail, almost every day and sometimes 3-4 items at once.  Think I am due to be rested soon, will not miss the parcels - I have a huge amount of books sitting here and no car to take them to a charity shop.

    App updated to remove bug when a date is entered but will still ask for the field to populate.

    Have you tried Ziffit? They pay you for old books, I have a success rate of about 1 in 10 of the Spectos books.

    I have given away all the books, anyone have any ideas for the DVDs that are accumulating?

    I really am being rested after only being active for 3 months this time round - just received my presentation pack.

    I just got my soon to be resting email too, and I only went back on the active list in late March! Are they going by six months from the date when I was eligible to go back to active instead of when I actually got a slot?  
    I got mine this morning, July is the 6th Month (started at beginning of Feb) so I'm assuming the 2 bundles scheduled for July are the last and the presentation pack and extras will arrive at some point later in July.

    My July stamps arrived separately Saturday morning.  They could have come with the bundle due in a couple of weeks time but who knows how they plan.

    Starting another cycle of UA today - so that will likely bring me up to 7500 points at the end of the month.  Guess what appears in the app as a due item?
    I need to think of something new here...

    I had stamps today, not sure if they are the monthly stamps or my end of active panel stamps. 
    Monthly stamps on 27 June. End of survey stamps and presentation pack (Paddington) today.
