hello..i did betterware for a while...about a month and to be honest if you have plenty of time to be walking back and forth...writing out order forms...people not paying...delivering orders etc for what works out to about 20 quid a week...(i think most i did was 27 quid ina week )
then go ahead
seriously tho i was delivering about 200 books a week in the cold and rain it got so bad my hands started chaffing and were all cracked and sore, and because its on a weekly basis you are out almost everyday.
it sounds like a good deal no money for brochures...money every week but you really do have to work stupidly hard for it

just sticking my tuppence worth in sorry.

Lolly... I did betterware for a while too.. but I did Avon at the same time so the profits went up and the pay was better.. I hated doing it in the wind and cold too so quit when I had DS2.

Carpet measured up..

Just going to have lunch then I'll scoot off to buy the carpet.. that can be fitted ASAP and that will leave the insurance cheque for me to get presents with while the carpet is reducing the bills and keeping my house warm.. and hopefully a bit quieter!

I made a decision... now... what colour carpet do I want??????????
