    sorry youve been ill silver, hope youre all better now.

    I got a rainproof coat, and thought i was being smart, yes it kept my top half dry but all the rain rolled straight off it onto my legs and soaked them through instead! So, onto ebay I went and got myself some really gorgeous waterproof navy trousers!! Its not rained since when ive been doing avon lol

    I have just dried off all my bags from yesterday (I took the brochures out straight away but left the bags!) one of my C15s was soaked through :mad: I buy resealable bags for a reason! Bought lots of new bags yesterday so going to bag up my C16s shortly, orders forms are all ready :D I might put them out tonight if its not raining, as I'm back to work tomorrow. It won't matter if I put them out one day early will it?

    Hi everyone,

    Just got back from collecting brochures for my c16 campaign, I collected 10 orders and received £197.50 in sales!! :j :j

    That's more than last time and I still have 3 more orders to collect early next week, my mums order, my own and I have 20 more houses to brochure drop - yey!

    Hi all :wave: I've been ill the last few days, so apologies for having missed six or seven pages lol.

    I can't believe how nasty the weather is here... but like Mel my C15 is due tomorrow so I have no choice but to go out in it :mad: Even better, I had a customer call at 8.30 this morning asking me to come and collect her order!!!!!!!!!!!! Because she is a regular (well as regular as she can be considering that this is my third campaign lol) she knows when my orders go in and didn't want to be missed out. :rolleyes: It should have been put out over a week ago and she's had two calling cards since then, but never mind. She's a good customer so I shouldn't moan.

    At the mo C15 looks to be about £300 ish, not bad but I'm a bit disappointed - C14 was great for me, well over £400, and I have an extra road this time too, But then again, I've been focussed more on recruiting, so ho hum.

    Hi Kerrie!

    I wondered where you had gotten to? Sorry you have been ill, that's poop! I hope you feel better real soon. Well done on your orders, don't be too disappointed £300 is a lot of money, especially as you are busy recruiting. How many do you have on your team now?

    I give my mobile number to customers, and as all my friends and family know, my mobile is switched off while I am sleeping, so I never get awoken by drunken messages, or early-birds with their orders!

    Hi Silver :p

    Hope you're feeling much better now and sorry you're party didn't go as well as you'd hoped :o

    My orders are around £350 at the moment (customer orders will be showing at about £300 though due to ordering from HT for freebies and backordering to C14 to save money). I'm looking at about being about £10 better off than I would be on the commission of the original orders plus I'll get lots of freebies (some for me and some to put in a hamper to raffle off at my Avon party :D) To be honest, I probably won't be better off cos I've ordered so many samples and some party invites (are they worth ordering?) and I'm getting the a couple of the 4 for £4 shampoos (some for me, some for freebies for C16 as I've done an incentive on the order forms and some for the hamper) but I'm still set to come out with about £60 commission after all that :T

    Well done, that's a great order total Mel!

    c18 is standard size, c17 isn't a lot bigger but not too sure of dimensions, don't have a ruler, but I think the measurements are in HT15.
