I've now got 2 senders packs under the desk (the first one went out yesterday) and another on the way but no incoming test items at all. I was looking forward to some completely random books again…
I need to think of something new here...1 -
3 more 'off' days before apparently I'm back on call for another 6 months, although I've yet to receive an invite. Been receiving lots of emails and participating in other types of activites to build up the points, so hopefully, I'll be back onboard soon! 😂😋🤗😎

That's interesting! The updated App says I have 2 more days left to go before I'm off rest, but I suppose it will depend on whether RM want a mail agent in my area. We shall see 😁😀.

I suspect you're in the 'ready' stage (amber). As the rest period counts down from 180 (approx) you shouldn't be able to be on your rest period for more than six months. Ready, however, is very open-ended and I think some posters have said two years + in their areas?

My sister who is in the same area as me waited 6 months after her rest period ended

I am still on the live panel and I thought usually you get a small Easter gift like some small chocolate eggs. However nothing as yet. Has anyone else received them?

You are thinking of the Kantar days.
Spectos are really mean. No diary at New Year, no eggs at Easter and no Christmas stamps for those resting over the Christmas period.

That was in the good old Kantar days. Sadly.

I prefer Spectos to Kantar.
Give me the points towards the vouchers over a diary I never used and a pack of mini eggs any day.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
