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?
Elle£2,000 by October 09 for Wedding got £500/£2,000Avon - C4=£170, C5=£194, C6=£119,C7=£60 (aim = £200, 60/200)0 -

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
)
'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

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.Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass,it's about learning to dance in the rain.0 -

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 everyone0 -

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.
