The census job? Trust me you don't want it. Looks good on the surface. Mrs. B did it five years ago and in the end it worked out to about $2.00 an hour.

Woman who delivered mine advised me not to do it on the night itself as they are expecting the website to crash as it won't be able to cope!!

Just got home - nothing here either. And I'm out tomorrow night. I can't say this has been terribly well publicised - The first I knew of it was this thread

Surprised you weren't on a similar delivery schedule to my 'hood, Swerv-o.

They have a tendency to just dump my mail on my doorstep, and leg it, I often find my mail halfway down mine or the next street when it's windy. It really annoys me, so I have most stuff delivered to work now.

I will often have to call credit card companies etc to check up and see where my bill is.

Re: census,2011

Just submitted mine. Pleasantly surprised that they will allow this in advance. Makes sense really to avoid the probable crash on the 10th.

Is the Aussie census less "invasive" (not that that bothers me one jot) than the British One? Can't remember.
