    Aware of that. 
    It is still an insisting on a date after I just tick the not a clue box, and not letting me proceed with either option. 

    Might just put a random date in and let them query it.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    I'm confused.  I'm doing the unaddressed survey and surprisingly haven't received one of the made up items which has now moved into the overdue slot.  Previously I could just tell them it hadn't been received but now it just asks it i know when it was received (which it hasn't been).  What are others doinng (or is it just me)?

    As others advised - it finally moved to a place where I could declare it as not received.  Meanwhile another fictitious one (the shaver thing) is now in the overdue slot for this week.  But I've got real ones to look forward to now - an old folks' home and an advert for ear wax removal at my local pharmacy.  :|
    I need to think of something new here...

    Two odd looking things from last week which may or may not be real now in the overdue slot and 3 more due to arrive - one of which is almost certainly real.  Be interesting to see if it does arrive - I've done about 6 of these now and only ever had one item pictured actually come through the door!

    Previously, the real items do appear in the week they are supposed to - usually all in the same delivery.  That might just be how it works for my area though.

    First day of Correctly Delivered and once again I have the dilemma - is a catalogue or a magazine counted as a letter or a parcel?   I assume that if it fits through the door with the main delivery it should be counted as a letter; and parcel means something sent Parcel Force or big enough that postie has to knock.   You'd think it might be useful to know the volumes for catalogues or magazines subscription and if they are being mis-delivered.

    Had my welcome back onto the panel letter today, that 6 months went quick. After reading some of the comments on here I expected to be waiting a while after receiving the email to say I was being put into the ready stage but it looks like I've gone straight back onto the panel. I’ve received 100 years of commemorative stamps presentation pack. I managed to get a couple of unaddressed and a correctly delivered survey during my rest period to add to what I had left from my last stint so don’t need too many points to get my next £25 voucher 🤞🏻

    Ah lucky you. I've been resting for about a year now!

    I would contact Spectos to make sure they haven't forgotten you.

    I agree, it does seem a long time resting. Did you get the email at the end of the 6 months saying you were being put into the ready phase? I would chase it up with them.
