  • The CBC is back up and running now. I have a back log of orders to put on . Not a good couple of days for us . we've had 9 parties cancelled so far in Dec , but did a fantastic £600 party yesterday and got loads of orders via email so hopefully will make up for some of the cancelations . I can't help thinking that some people book ( with no intention of holding their party) just so the hostess can get the 25% in November and then cancel , very annoying . Glad i'm not giving out small booking a party gifts , I always now give the hostess a gift when they hold their party on the origional date booked. I'm gutted because I was hoping to make executive club this month!!

  • I am just home and catching up - done 6 fairs in the last 4 days so mentally and physically exhausted - but got myself and my team loads of contacts for next year - so Whoop Whoop.

    Pouring myself a vodka and chilling now!
    I get paid to party!:rotfl:

    Hi there

    Sorry I haven't posted in ages. Have had a few good parties - a brilliant party last night and the hostess wants a party in January - she asked even before she knew about the votive offer!

    I have found that whenever I hold a party myself it is always a bit of a flop - did one last week and only made £118 in sales:confused: yet all the other parties I have done have been really successful.

    Is anyone having trouble logging on to CBC? I put an order through and it went through but then chucked me out to the page with the flags. Now when I try to log in it just takes me to the flag page and I can't get any further!

  • Well done Just me . Tis the season when everyone wants their candles!! Just keep in there and make the most of the rest of whats left in December. We are getting ready for another crazy week ahead . 5 stalls and 5 parties , and a huge 3 day christmas fair at the weekend ( fri, sat, sun). We have so many leads to contact , just not enough time to ring them at the moment . It will be lovely to have a rest when the 16th comes...we are both flagging a bit , and it doesn't help with the CBC going down again tonight , so can't put any orders on. Got our christmas sale to plan for the 15th and a unit team christmas get together for the 18th , but wondering how to fit it all in!! Still hopefully it will be all worth it in the end. January is already starting to fill up and now booking into Feb. Fingers crossed it all goes to plan

    I managed to get back onto CBC and did get an order through this afternoon. Got another one to put in tomorrow or Tuesday.

    I am going to try and get the 4 January bookings to get my free catalogues. I have a few leads.
