    I've just had a look at next weeks letters to post on the site ( I dont have them yet, 'spect they'll come soon) and they are to the same man.
    That will be 4 letters to him by the end of next week.....Is this how it will always be?
    Will there be different people?
    Yes, after about 3 weeks of sending stuff to the same man (with a naughty name ;)) you will start getting proper test letters to other panellists. That's when it gets more interesting.

    I've been doing this since December and it's okay - haven't had to buy any stamps for ages! :rotfl:

    I agree with dormouse it will increase, you will have to decide if it's going to be to much for you. Some don't like it when it gets increased, but I do it because I have had problems with Royal Mail.
    Thanks for any help and advice given

    I found it increased for a few weeks but then slowed down again. I'm currently only doing between 1 and 3 a week. :D

    My chap doesn't have a naughty name, it just begins with H.
    ....So are the first few letters testing us to see if we are doing it right, then we do the real stuff?

    I presume thats the way it works. Ive done the test letters for 5 weeks now, and still sending them to the same bloke.

    The name i have is a H which could be considered rude :rotfl:

    and there is a "bird" in the address...?

    I reckon we've all got the same test chap, hehe.

    Started getting some different names/addresses to post to now though, and apparently other testers will be sending to me, which makes it a bit more interesting! Still haven't received one item of test mail yet though... unless I've accidentally overlooked it!

    Can someone help me please? I have filled the application form in twice but each time I get a message saying please select a reference code - there is nowhere to select or enter a code.

    What am I missing?

    Thanks

    I don't post any test letters anymore, I resigned. I'm steaming the stamps off the envelopes though. :D
