I got a letter in the mail yesterday from the ministry of social development asking if I would be willing to participate in a research survey they are doing to improve conditions for families.
I apparently was picked at random from the election roll. It's a phone interview thing. Has anyone else been asked?? I can't wait until they call, the poor person on the other end is going to have ALOT of typing to do! It's really awesome that they are doing it though!!! |

Sounds similar to the letter I received recently regarding a Ministry of Health survey.
I must have been chosen randomly too as no one else I know has done the survey. The one I did was more focussed on encouraging new Mums to b/f though. I think its great that the governmental departments are doing things like this! Gives you an opportunity to have your say for a change  ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Yeah, must be a govt initiative or something. This one is definitely on how to make lives better and easier for young families.
It's very cool that I'm going to get to say a lot lol |

I did one for MSD a few months ago and I so felt for the guy on the other end of the phone. He was nonstop typing. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

| I got the letter last week too. Wonder what the sample size is, must be pretty big if there's at least 3 of us who have received it. |
