    Sounds like a good plan :)

    Hello,


    I know this is an old thread but wondered if anyone is still around? I am thinking of joining.


    Thanks

    Hi Beachlou - I'm still around :) Do you want to ask any questions?

    Hi Looneylee,
    I have been talking to a mummy friend who is a team leader in my area (though I'm due to move soon but only 25 mins away) & she makes it sound so great. I think she would be really supportive. My main concerns are with moving to a new area how I would make it work without knowing a soul.

    I think it's a great way of meeting new people in a new area and building friendships :) It gets you out and about :)

    That's true, it would. There's an offer on until the end of June for an extra £70 worth in the starter kit. I'm tempted by this but wondered with moving very soon, possibly by the end of the month, if it's realistic to start now. I would like to aim to get the initial fee refunded and maybe more.

    If I was your mentor, I would suggest waiting until the time is right for you. There is no point rushing to join, if you haven't got time to get started, and you'll miss out on the first incentives. The kit is always lovely whichever month you join :)

    Thank you. I've decided to just go for it and have signed up today :) I see my mentor a few times a week so will have great support, I'm sure. Aiming to have my first at home party next week with friends and family to kick start me off.


    Is the first incentive 1 order for £100+?

    Good luck with your first party :) The first incentive is 3 x £100 orders within your first 3 weeks, so you're on your way to that. Just 2 more parties/events to book in.

    Thank you. First party is confirmed for next weekend. Just a couple of friends and family but a good way to start me off I hope.


    I have contacted a couple of schools about attending their summer fayres and waiting for them to get back to me. I'm also hoping to go to my local NCT bumps and babies group.
