Good evening,

Just done my bit to aid future RCers. Census letter dropped through the door today so i've completed mine. Got a thankyou email while I still had my finger on submit.

BUT, the letter is a little misleading, it says "all households should complete the census ON sunday 21st march or as soon as possible after". However, when you go to census.gov.uk and check, it tells you that you can complete it online as soon as you receive the letter.

I'm of the opinion that if everyone tried to do it on the 21st the site would overload and crash.

Good evening,

A friend of mine makes memory bears for people. She does other things as well equally as good. But the bears are really good.

Have you got something you don't wear anymore but love, she will make a bear out of it.

Something a loved one wore, she will make a bear out of it.

See some samples here on her facebook page;

This is mine, made from one of my old combat jackets.
