  • well i am not an avon casualty - but i have done a silly thing!! accidentally posted my keys through a letter box with a brochure :o:o . thankfully it was someone i know quite well but it could have been really bad! and also oh was at home to let me in.

    i have now learnt from this mistake and zip my keys in my pocket first!!!!!
    it's nice to be important but more important to be nice!! :kisses3:
  • Hi all, I am confused,

    Do we all have differnt dates for ordering? Or is it the same for every single rep? My SL gave me a date of 10/02/08 for C4. I am now worried that I wont be able to order the bits I wanted from HT6.

    How does it work?

    I think the dates are staggered. My C4 had to be in tuesday just gone and delivered this Monday. But i think i'm one of first.

    :D I've always worried about doing that, but never actually have

    My contributions will be a bit scrappy for the minute - takes for ever to type with LH only. Thanks for all good wishes. EssexHebridean (who's my Daughter, for those who don't know) is taking the P mercilessly and getting loads of mileage out of 'my poor OLD Mum's had a fall'............bless her :rolleyes: Proves one thing though - I'm a tough old bird, since nothing appears to be broken (apart from my glasses :p )

    'Him indoors' is being brilliant, delivering the rest of the orders, delivering/collecting books etc. Guess i'll have to stop moaning about him for a bit ;)

    Hello,

    Has anyone done a tax form for Avon on this site? I am about to do my first one and wonder what information I need before doing so. I have no invoices as I recycle them after paying my money

    Help!

    Hiya, Yes i did my first online one this year. Do you have all passwords and info from hmrc to do it online? need to request some code to activate.
    I used my invoices to work out figures. Do you have turnover figure? expeniture amount? and amount earnt?
    I'll try and help if i can but i kept mine simple, i didn't include, phone, household costs, internet costs or anything like that.

  • Hi All

    Well I was really demotivated this campaign. No one seemed to want to order and I was struggling to get to £250 so I could get my last new rep incentive. However, drag myself out last nitie to collect in some cats and ended up with 4 orders (2 were from new customers) and I only need £50 now. Im waiting for a couple of orders this evening then I can submit C4 tonight. Feel a bit better now.

    Elliebee - Hope you are feeling better soon. I use to be a postie and fell over a couple of times. The worst one I ended up with a really swollen knee which even today (I did it about 7 years ago) still gives me a bit of pain in the winter.

    Have a good day everyone

    Hi, I only did Avon for one campaign (8) last May and do not have any invoices or documentation, but I only made £20.


    I do not want to complicate any of the sums either but hope that the Tax man can see that I am being honest.

    I have an overwhelming fear that I will go to prison for tax evasion!!!! Silly I know, but you never can tell nowadays.

    What do you think?
