    By the way I agree with ChrissieI, you are doing so well lynzpower and you give lots of good advice to many DFWs. Keep up the good work and give yourself a little treat now and again, however small.

    Cheers guys, maybe Ill try & find a treat somewhere, the thing is Im so DFW nowadays theres nothing I really NEED, just stuff I want. Mind you Im treating OH to the best seats in the house at the cinema on Thursday, ( I got us a sofa in the cinema ;) ) were off to see "glastonbury- the film" which is where we met, so i am treating myself I guess!!

    good idea mintymoneysaver. Thank you beverleyhills, it is nice that he thinks i should spend it on me. Sometimes though I wish he was a bit more of a DFW. Mind you he is getting a lot better and now if I lapse a bit, he says we can't really afford it at the moment. So it must be brushing off on him.

    Oh treat yourself definitely! :j

    I think what others here are saying is wise - personally I would use the majority to treat yoursef though and just a little on debts. In the future you can do it the other way around but this first time it will do you good to have a lovely reward for all your hard work.

    Well done you! :T

    Well i can't really add much as its been said by so many already.

    First well done, i used to do Avon myself so why don't you treat yourself to one of the cheap gifts they offer reps? Can often get something nice for just a few pounds.

    Breadmaker is a good idea and then all the rest on the debt.

    good luck

    Thanks QueenB, just what I was thinking last night after reading these replies. There is a lovely necklace and earings in the rep magazine and before now I was thinking how lovely,wish I could have them. So really I should and that is what I am going to to. It is just over £5 and may even help with selling them to my customers. I am then going to buy a breadmaker for £34.99 that I have seen on Amazon. The rest is going on the debt.

    I have enjoyed reading all these great replies.

    Thanks all
