Yep, you read that right.
This thread is about how i have purchased more hobby related stuff this year than the last 3, thanks to our governments response to global shenanigans.
Last year, I answered a survey from the
UK government regarding employment status (simply because being stuck at home I had very little else to do, what with being a 1 person flat and all. I thought nothing else of it.
Then, in September, I received an email stating that as you have proven willing to participate in surveys, we would like to invite you to take part in a national covid survey. This will involve 1 covid test (delivered to your doorstep) each week for 2 months, then 1 a month for the duration of the survey (min 12 months) You shall recieve a £50 voucher for your shop of choice for your 1st test, and a £25 voucher for each test thereafter.
Needless to say, I signed up immediately.
I am now 5 months or so (as it took a while to get started) into the survey, and in exchange for occasionally sticking a swab down my throat and up my nose i managed (via amazon vouchers) to purchase:
Indomitus (first 3 vouchers, a bit of my own money for delivery and an excellent discount)
A box of Tyranid Hive Guard,
Codex Supplement: Dark Angels
and today, a box of Atalan jackals (discounted because of slight damage to packaging).
My questions to dakkanauts in the
UK are:
Anyone else done this? any problems? (none at all for me so far)
if you did, what hobby related stuff did you buy?
I should mention that every single test i have had has come back negative
