  • I'm a new poster, though have been a 'reader' for quite a while. Thanks to all for advice on the post office survey. I've signed up and today received my first envelope and (hurray) my book of 18 stamps. Thinking that, if I hold on to them as they arrive each four weeks, I won't need to buy any stamps to send my Christmas cards this year.:j:T:j
  • Grrrrrrrrr im still getting blooming "Trout and Salmon" im a bloomin girl i aint interested in bloomin fishin grrrr
  • Just in case some of you wondered re the chocolate! - some of us got a free bar because it was attached to the front of the latest Hello magazine and came from them, not Kantar. I have been getting Hello magazine for about 5-6 weeks now but was previously getting a Property one which was quite boring. I think i was on the panel for about 3-4 months before i started getting the weekly magazines sent to me. ;)

    Just a quick question. I have been doing this for ages so not a beginner but today has got me wondering. I received 3 catalogues from Damart ( very warm up here today;) ) They have special initials on them so have logged them in as my mail. But they don't have an R number so got a special number to put a yellow label with number on each. But each time that has happened before they had a 90 number and this time they don't. Is someone sending me mail not in the survey with my initials on. It must cost the survey folk a fortune in the return envelope to get these back. :confused: Will treat it like all the rest this time and post it back but I wonder if someone has been selling the addresses to muck up the survey.

    I've just found this thread. I've been doing this survey for onver a year now & I got the Damart stuff last week too. I also got more today. I think it is part of the survey. I lve in Scotland too so I wonder if they think that we are all freezing up here.
    I've also had the Chineese mag & What Pilot :eek: :eek:
    I love doing this survey & hope I can get Hello for a few weeks too
    Sometimes later becomes never. ...
