Have piled all my cats up, starting a new territory tomorrow, only 21 houses but you never know!! One of my regulars is on hold for this camp, oh well!
Hope C11 is better than C10!! LOL! x x

Have you asked your SL for a bigger territory (do you want more?), i was only given 19 houses to start with and by day 2 i had sent an email with a list of all the local streets i was willing to cover and if no one else did them could i have them please. I got a reply stating i could have all but 2 from my list, that gave me another 130 houeses to do.

But keep the hope thatyou never know whats going to happen order wise, whether its £5 or £50 an order is an order although i would love it if al l my orders were massive one's i really value the smaller ones.

GOod knows whatavon HQ think about where i live all i seem to get orders for is the skin so soft dry oil spray, they must think were infested with bugs, i have orders for about 15 bottles of the stuff so far.:D

I am not a happy bunny - just got back from a&e with a broken ankle - no idea how I'm going to collect the brochures I put out on Thursday, and on my new territory as well! Oh well I will have to figure it out I guess.

Oh dear Mez, how did you manage that?
Is there someone you can sweet talk in to helping you out until your ankles better?

I've just been given 21 more houses, a short walk away from me, but I think all my area is covered by the looks of things as she said that was all she had near me - it has to be walking distance as I don't have a car.
I think that C10 was just crap, the first 2 were really good and maybe people just wanted a break. In the past my territory has been one of the best areas!

I only tripped up and walked around for 2 days and then thought maybe I should go and get it checked ! I'll try and convince my OH but he's already having to do everything else so not sure how happy he'll be about it lol

Oh Mez - poor you :grouphug:

I had quite a nasty fall in January and had to call in favours all round to get my brochures done, so I have some idea how you feel. I must say that I had lots of concern from my customers, and I think they appreciated the fact that I got my books collected somehow (it was in all the snow too). I'm sure they'll understand, though, if you're not able to get round. If necessary, could you do a 'bear with me' sort of note and get OH to pop it through doors?

Hope you're soon better.

Thats a good idea, most of territory will be fine as its my street and the one next to it so they'll see me hopping about. It just would happen the first time I do my new territory so don't really not want to collect the cats as its not a very good first impression!

Aww no, thats awful.

I really dont know what to suggest apart from getting others to help you out.
You must have been in so much pain for the last 2 days.

I have had a hellish night collecting my cats. I went ot knock on 1 door and a neighbour came running out telling me i had been very insensitive as the person who lived there had recently died (very old man), she was very angry and rude with me and all i could do was apologise saying i wasnt to know but she really knocked my confidence. But i did get about £100 worth of orders (5 new customers). So when i got them i got my smile back. Stragglers tommorrow and delivering to the rest of my territory too.

Hey everyone

I placed my order just now and it was around £310 - this is my first order and I thought, from reading on here, that I would have a credit limit of £200 - however the order seems to have gone through ok and there is no mention of paying anything upfront?

Do I need to do anything?
