    Hi Johanne. I take my little one, who is a little bigger (26 months) with me a lot of the time - lke you say, the buggy comes in handy. Also, if you decide to door knock, never underestimate the "ahhhh factor" that having a cute little one with you achieves - worked wonders for me, with all the little old ladies buying for their kids and grandkids!

    Good luck hun!

    Too right! I am considering borrowing a baby - went out with one of my reps and couldn't believe how much more willing people are to chat - even to open the door! :rotfl:

    I take my daughter with me, who is 3 in 2 weeks. She really does woo the old ladies!! Many have asked that I bring her to them on halloween cos they will have something for her!

    I bought myself a trolley off ebay nice pink and flowery design lol and it carries my books, my orders, and my daughter when her legs get tired!!
  • LOL - anyone got a little'un I can borrow (as long as I can give it back before it gets noisy, grumpy or smelly :D )

    Has anyone else noticed that the famous 'no-quibble guarantee' seems to have disappeared from everywhere? It used to be on the back page of the brochure and on the paper bags, but can't find it anywhere now. Perhaps I'm just not looking hard enough? :cool:

    Good luck Kat! You'll be fine - remember, even if you do mess up, the other person isn't going to realise ;)

    Have fun! :grouphug:

    Yeah it will be fine to backorder on your first campaign. Have you used the website yet? If you have, when you're on the screen that you enter all the product numbers and quantitys into, there will be a little drop down box next to where you enter the product number to select the campaign number from.
