Hi all what are people's experience in doing all sorry trips in their diesels.
I've read that it's no good for them and it runs the diesel burn off thing.

Yes you are correct. Diesels esp those with Diesel Particulate Filters prefer long freeway/highway drives to get it up to temperature to carry out a Passive regeneration. If you only travel in the suburbs, when the DPF fills up, the car will carry out an Active regen.

A 30min drive at 100km/h once a fortnight should keep your DPF happy.

Using a fuel additive with Cerium may help
