    Slight correction, it is 3 in a row, NOT more than 3. Though it gets extended to 4 during the condensed schedule.

    If I just order brochures and a few demo products (not even reaching MOV) is that still classed as an order? Or do you have to order brochure products too? xx

    Ive just been on the avon site to have a nosey on the wanted page and got this message

    Unfortunately there were a few con artists claiming they had something, taking the money and then disappearing, only to come back under a new name :(

    Melvis, that is fine as far as I know but if I hear any different I'll come back and update.

    it works for me hun :D
    I do spend £15 + get a freebie
    but I do only family and friends
    I vary the offer amount dependant on the campaign
    but a lot of my orders are big orders anyway.
    my usual order is £20 or there abouts xx
    Life is what you make it;)

    I have had to throw a few cats away cos of the stupid rain!! GRR! I've not got many C9's for my 2nd round of them either! So annoying, how hard is it to leave your cat out for me??? Didn't end up putting any more out, need some chill out time, even tho I have so much housework to do!

    Why not try those zip top freezer bags from tesco to keep the books dry? Hopefully will work x

    hey i'm new here and on my 3rd campaign =]
    i like it so far and have reached the order values where you get a load of free samples
    chufties for me ey? =D
    i was just wondering, to get the most interest do you just tend to put the samples in with the books or what?

    sazmeister, well done on achieving your movs. I am still trying!!! LOL.

    Lyndsey, I use freezer bags from Sainsburys but have been told they are probably cheaper in tescos. The ones I use are the self sealing ones, so the customers can take out brochure, have a look, complete order form (she wishes), and then put everything back in the bag, seal and leave outside in rain, snow, hail, etc for me to collect.

    I get my bags from poundland, 40 large bags for £1 or 80 small ones, I find the small ones a bit tight though so buy the large ones :D x
