  • Mine were Rescue at Sea too, also received today. Do you think they had random spare stamps to get rid of?:rotfl: Lovely to receive a surprise though! Makes me feel v guilty as I missed a mailing this week (will do on correct day next week as per instructions).

    Cheers all

    my introductory envelope appeared today- delivered by a postie who had the gall to wake me up at 7.30am to speak to me personally as he delivered three day's worth of undelivered post after I made a complaint to the District Manager, as we go days with no post and then either stuff arrives at once or we never see it. I found it all deliciously ironic.

    he said we have a different postman every day, so no one person is to blame.

    I probably won't get any presentation stamps this week :cry:

    I filled in the holiday section last week to say I am off for 5 weeks from the middle of next week...

    Had to enter it as two 'separate' holidays though - as each one can only be a maximum of 3 weeks.

    Has anyone else been off the survey for more than 3 weeks at once?

    Hope they don't decide to withdraw me from the survey in the meantime!

    Regards
    Sunil

    Chances are you haven't given enough notice though as posting packs are prepared 3 weeks in advanced so you'll still receive poctings and test items delivered to you.

    Wouldn't of thought they'd get rid of you though.

    No, you don't have to declare your "income". You can up to around £5,400 before you have to pay tax so I think we're quite safe in that respect:rotfl:

    Anyway, you are not being "paid" as such. The stamps and the vouchers are a "thank you" for helping with a survey.

    I agree that they are a gift rather than 'payment' therefore not taxable, but your first statement would only apply to people who have no other job. If you were being paid for this and had another job the taxable income is combined.
