when logging your received mail it will ask if item has an R number, tick no and then it will give you a number which you write on a yellow sticker and stick onto the front of the received item.

Just a follow on from that I had my first "Time Out" the other week and needed to add a number mine started 1001 i think then 1002 just writ eit on yellow sticker and whack it on, if it's time out there were a few other questions i had to answer but no real problems as you'll see when you go through inputting your dada

Yes, mine have followed in succession like that but it still has to be logged for them to produce the correct number for you, but its a simple process like you say.

I've had the e-mail saying they don't need me any more, & thank goodness for that. In the last month, I've been expected to deal with over 20 letters a week. That would have been fine if it just meant going to a postbox a couple of times a we't y. I was about to resign from it anyway, so they've saved me having to do so. I had my stamps each month, plus I got invited to do a separate survey for which I got a nice wad of luncheon vouchers, so I did pretty well out of it considering the short time I did it for.

They've said that I'll probably still get survey materials in the post for a few more weeks, & want me to return it all to them. I don't mind returning the Smarts as they serve a specific purpose & are reusable, but I'm not getting anything for it now so I'm not going to waste time sending the letters, & I'm certainly not returning the magazines when giving me a free read is a small price for them to pay for the work I put in.

Did they give you a reason for not needing you?

They just said they're not monitoring my area any more. I suppose they do shorter checks on some areas, & longer/bigger ones where there's been a history of post problems. I'm almost on the junction of three different postcodes, so they've probably got other people covering them individually better than I could.

It's fine, some weeks are busier than others. I only don't like when they set a posting time of say 10am - 1pm at a particular post box - isn't always easy for me.

It makes no difference to me and I ignore their "post after 1pm" due to the fact that the post is collected at 9am and the second post 2.45pm.

So as long as I post after the first collection be it 11am, 1pm or 2 pm, it still isnt going to get collected till 2.45.

Did anyone recive the comic 2000ad?

Also can anyone clarify if you need to stick a sticker on the back of the grey plastic envelope which we use to send back return items, or do we add a sticker to every test item that we return. I normally just add a sticker to the back of the grey envelope is that correct?

Yep just on the back of the grey envelope
