yep Lucyclare, that's what I said, better to go along to the Inland Revenue workshops yourself, because the rules change on what you can and can't claim, so better to have the knowledge from the "horse's mouth", then from other people.

I attended last year and it was very good, they give you a booklet to take home too.

They will be doing another indepth one about expenses specifically. Signed up for that one already. Cant wait.

Feel like bubbly ready to pop!!! I cant believe how easy this is getting. hard work yes, but i am really really enjoying it. Spoke to my asm today about organising a swoop thing and about getting another area meeting set up. great way to introduce her to my team :T:T

As we cover a really large area, she will try to hold 2 in different areas.

Are we all off to LYD this year?
Will have to get lots of name badges, so that we recognise our forum buddies too.

OOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhh happy days. :j:j:j:j:j:D:D:D:D:D:D:j:j:j:j

!!!!!! me. where have i posted that incorrectly?

it's on your profile. But as you have both https://www. it is pointing incorrectly. I like the idea of the www. rather than the https://, as Lozza has said.

I won't be going, no one to look after DS and to be honest, don't want all the pressure that goes with being top SL.

Quite happy to have a team that put orders in regularly and I make some money through my own territory, so have extra money coming in, now that I am working. Am also applying for another part time job but this one is flexible and working from home, so fingers crossed I get that too!

One day I will be financially better off!

I have now done 3 campaigns as a rep. I would like to step up to become an SL but my youngest child won't start any sort of childcare until Sept and so I had been planning to wait until then. However part of me is itching to get started and is just wondering if it is possible to slowly build a team with evening/weekend sign ups. Those of you who are already SL's - what are your thoughts?

Well I don't have kids but I do work full time and it's shifts and I manage to fit it in quite nicely, you do things at the pace YOU want which I like I only aim to sign at most 2 reps a campaign, sometimes I don't get any and have books left but then I just recanvass more, or as I recently started doing offering the
to my reps at £2 for 20 so it helps them. If you're interested I'd say go for it!

You can get 'tagged' as a SL at any time you are ready. You do build your own team in your time frame. Many SL do take their little ones out with them on appointments and demonstrate that having a little one is no obstacle to earning with Avon.

Good luck with it, keep us posted. and see you on the SL forum at Avon.

lucyclare

Thanks for that. Have changed it now. Could you guys check it for me?

My ASM is having an 'Opportunity Meeting' at the start of May which I have put my name down for. However I just wanted a reality check ahead of it in case the flexibility was oversold. Definitely interested so I may well 'Go for it!' especially as I have an school fayre towards the end of May and a Pamper Evening in June that I thought might be ideal for prospecting for potential reps.

I wouldn't feel comfortable taking my little one - would be permanently worried about him breaking something (also you never know what state some people's houses are going to be in). I would prefer to be able to give potential sign ups my full attention. I can obviously use the fact that I have fitted Avon around school runs, playschool runs and a baby to sell the flexibility of the rep role though.
See you on the SL forum soon though I hope.
