Have you completed your Census 2021 form?

Done it. Time consuming, inappropriate questions And intrusive. ( I think a lot of people will have told them what they want to hear)

I've hedged my bets. Filled it all in and saved it, all ready to submit on the 21st. Just in case.....

That’s a good idea - should have realised you could save it

You can. Then you can go back in and change it if circumstances alter. If you're spared, of course.

LullyDully

I thought the point was to complete it on 21st March so the records know exactly who was where on that date. Am I missing something here?

No you are not missing the point. Anything can change between now and 21st March so people are asked to wait until then. The eager beavers ignoring the simple instructions say they can let someone know about any changes. How many will? Makes a mockery of the entire thing.

Haven't received ours yet.

Haven’t received one.

I asked the neighbours on our WA group and it’s very mixed as to who’s revived the letter. But as said by pp I just went online and received the code by text - very quick.

Shall do it on 21st March

Mine arrived just now. Grinned that the first access code set included the letters BS.
Filled it in online and fired it off.

Still haven’t had one

The official leaflet says:

"You can submit your questionnaire before 21 March if you know who will be in your household on that day. If you submit your questionnaire before 21 March but your circumstances change before that day, you can let us know.'

So I did mine yesterday as soon as the leaflet arrived.

Received the form this morning and completed it manually for myself and DH in 10 minutes. I did think about completing it online, though all the faffing about with this would most probably have meant it would have taken me much longer.

I thought it was supposed to be done on 21st March?

I did ours yesterday,nosey bunch of gits.

That's why I did mine online as soon as I received it

I've just done mine. It was intrusive - why would they like to know the subjects I lectured in?

I don’t understand how that’s intrusive. Intrusive in a census might be how often do you have sex in a week week or what’s your preferred position but details about your job which would be on record somewhere?

ha ha, that gave me a laugh suziewoozie, you've got me thinking now!

Lucca: I’m laughing out loud at your comment!!

I hope to be at home on 21st March but as my crystal ball is out of batteries I cannot be definite so that is why I will be following instructions and completing it on Census Day.

We’re going to do it on Saturday ( in case there’s a broadband problem on Sunday) but will save and send on Sunday.

Just completed ours. Had it for a couple of weeks, but we're now very close to Census day and it's unlikely anything will change.

And for all the naysayers who keep crying No, it MUST BE DONE ON 21ST, sorry you're wrong. That would be the ideal, but it clearly states that you can do it before that date as long as you notify any unforeseen changes later. If early submission was absolutely not allowed, the site would not let you submit it.

You are correct, JulieNoted. It says so clearly on the letter, though obviously not clearly enough, it would seem! ?
