Your SL or ASM will supply your second set of books if they didn't at your interview but you will be charged and sent 1 book by avon, which you have to pay for. If you need more than 20 books then you will need to order the rest yourself and if you need order forms, etc.

Did anyone have a customer order that 'Multi-Link Bracelet' that was £6? It looked really nice in the book, but when it arrived I was actually embarrassed to give it to my customer! It felt like plastic and it was really cheap and nasty. It didn't surprise me that she came back the next day saying it needed returning.

that's right, tell them you want to add it to your existing order. You DO NOT want to pay £2.50 for an additional order and not make any discount.

How does everyone store their Avon things (free gifts, brochures, ready made orders waiting to go, spare brochures, bags, etc, etc)? At the moment my living room looks like an Avon warehouse!! I'm sick of it being everywhere and my spare room looks like some kind of car boot sale with all the free gifts everywhere!!! It's getting me down as the house is a tip and have people over and feel so embarrassed with bits everywhere. I am thinking of getting a drawer storage type thing for my living room to put bits in, I have one for my nephew, a bright coloured one for his colours and toys - anyone know where I can pick a cheap one up? I don't have any cupboards or storage in my living room that's handy to go into when I need Avonx

I totally agree! One of my customers ordered it, and I thought it looked so nice in the brochure, that I ordered one for myself too

I'll find out what the customer thinks tomorrow, but I tried mine on, and it is plastic circles on elastic, so the bracelet doesn't even sit flat on your wrist! It's awful! Mine is definitely going back!

Lyndsey, you could be talking about my house! My dining area is full of avon books, boxes, free gifts, paperwork, etc. My OH is sick of it all. I have a larder cupboard, where I have put a lot of stuff but as I explained to him, if I box it up nicely and put it in the cupboard, with stuff piled on top, I have to get everything out to get anything.

I was supposed to have the spare room as an office but in laws put paid to that plan. Then I told him if he got a proper loft ladder, I was happy to put all my stuff in the loft and go up and down to get it as needed. Until he does, it stays where it is.

At the end of the day for me, it is my only income with working tax credits and if he makes me give it up, he can pay all the bills and everything else I do.

Phew! Got that one of my chest!

I bought some storage boxes from Ikea,on wheels, but because they get so heavy when full it is hard to pull along the carpet.

Argos do storage cupboards - might be worth having a look on line for a fun one.
