    Mine arrived just a couple of days after I received the Rest Period email which I was expecting given my posting schedule had ceased to have any future entries 
    Cheers!  This morning the app went to (P) telling me I'm now in my rest period.  No email yet but I expect it will all come this week.
    I am bemused...   The email came the day after I posted that.  No pack yet.  This weekend, the app was telling me that I've a test letter on the way (presumably expected Sat but no post).

    This morning I have an email telling me I'm at the end of my rest period and waiting for a space to come free - the app agrees with (R).  So my rest period has been 6 days not 6 months!  Maybe they are really short of panellists round here.   I'm not going to complain if it means I get 2 packs (one end and one start) and I'm on the panel for the Christmas stamps too.
    I need to think of something new here...

    The Pack arrived today - Greenwich Observatory.  Which is a thumbs-up from me as it's an attractive set, 10x 1st class and fairly local to me so I will use them.

    Currently resting but was brought back after just over 5 months last time and kept on for 6 months.  Will be interesting to see when next brought back..... though luckily getting offered unaddressed mail stints so my points continue to add up.

    Anyone still missing final stamps after rest period began?

    contacted support twice (and done the delivery surveys in the meantime) and they’ve just said we’ve passed this on to the team to get sorted

    Still no stamps
