Thank you Hopefully I'll get one anyway :rotfl: definitely won't be this month though, I go away in 2 weeks and have a wedding next week so it will be September before I can take any bookings

I did my first £100 order on my first day by showing people catalogues. There's no point in waiting...get going as soon as your kit arrives!

If you do your first order in your first 3 weeks you get £35 worth of free books so it's worth doing.

Unfortunately it's still easier said than done as the only people I see who have kids live quite far away from me so won't see them til we're back at uni. The people I knew off facebook I hardly ever see now as they are old school friends so it's just a waiting game but hopefully like I said I'll have 2 in September, definitely no way of getting orders any earlier

We have our whole catalogue online, so you could get friends further away to have a look on there

I did thank you yes. Unfortunately despite 21 people joining and me updating regularly I've not actually gotten anywhere with it as yet.

ive only got 22 on mine but i use it for advertising on local for sale/ free sites, ive had a bit of interest off it so far so its worth doing ! (and its free !!!)

I spent the evening stickering £1200 worth of school stock ready for the new term, Ive had the boxes stacked in my upstairs hall way all summer so my OH has done really well not to blow a gasket !!

Saturday then sees the start of my mad september, I have a craft fair, baby group opening day, village fete and another craft fair all in 8 days !

I have just booked a regular slot at 3 baby clinics, and new mums groups. also a local leisure centre has booked me 1 night a week, with 10% of sales going to their chosen charity.
I love baby clinics, if there is a school nurse there she always buys "whats happening to me" boys and girls, and encourages parents at teh sex ed nights to order them off me!
