To think it is going to take ages to fill in this bloody census

So many nosey questions.
It seems all they do not want to know is my shoe size (6) my bra size (38f) and how often I poop (twice a day)

Took less than 10 mins online. Didn't think it was that bad.

Goober · 08/03/2011 19:06

Just did ours.... 40 mins that I will never get back!!!

LunarRose · 08/03/2011 19:07

Looks much much worse than it Smile Looked horrible is wasn't more than 10 mins here either

amothersplaceisinthewrong · 08/03/2011 19:08

Do it online - 15 mins tops, that included filling in bit for my student kids who aren't here at the tmoment.

onceamai · 08/03/2011 19:12

Took 15 minutes. Just made me feel sad that we are in the same house and still have two dc. Last time I remember wondering what we woudl have in 10 years time.

Choufleur · 08/03/2011 19:14

Yes - It should take about 5 mins per person.

It's how a lot of money is allocated to local authorities/police/health. If you don't fill it in your local area will lose out.

Ivegotmrbitey · 08/03/2011 19:16

It took me ten minutes, wasn't too bad.

DartsRus · 08/03/2011 19:20

We haven't had any information in our area that I've seen. I gather we can do this online, but do we expect a paper form as well?

Choufleur · 08/03/2011 19:40

YOu get a paper copy with a URN which you use to fill in the online form if you want to do it online

psiloveyou · 08/03/2011 19:42

Only took 15 minutes on line and we have 8 in our family. Not to bad

sourdoughface · 08/03/2011 19:48

took me 8 mins max for a family of four

terribly time consuming compared to the amount of time one wastes in general on the tinternet

Whats with all the whining today about the census? Its 10 minutes of your life which you clearly have to spare.

Georgimama · 08/03/2011 20:00

I don't understand how you have done it already. I thought you were supposed to do it on census day, which is not today.

stretch · 08/03/2011 20:02

I haven't had one yet. When are they posted?

Mrsmackie · 08/03/2011 20:02

10 mins for me too - will just sign and date it (and add anything about visitors) on the 27th. Don't see what the fuss is about as it didn't really ask for anything I'm not prepared to divulge.

smokinaces · 08/03/2011 20:04

mines done. tbh, I wouldnt care about putting my bra size or shoe size on either - they probably know that already through shopping with my visa card, or my Next directory catalogue.

Choufleur · 08/03/2011 20:07

They are being posted out regionally I think.

Took me less than 10 min for me, DH and 8y DD.

Hulababy · 08/03/2011 20:09

That was on the paper form.

shrinkingnora · 08/03/2011 20:15

Family of 5 - ten minutes. YABU.

Haribojoe · 08/03/2011 20:17

Did it online and was surprised at how quick it was.

HecateTheCrone · 08/03/2011 20:23

Phlebas · 08/03/2011 20:23
