    oh dear aureol hope your ok!! *BIG HUGS*

    I recanvassed 34 houses today :) Was gonna be 40 but 6 were empty!! This is one issue i have with my territory quite high amount of empty houses. In some the roads that there are 40 houses on average there are 5-6 for sale/let signs and 2/3 being renovated. There are also lots of student houses so come the summer they all leave! I have noticed today 2 of my customers have put their houses up for sale too! Already lost 1 last campaign due to moving :(

    Collect my c10's tomorrow from my regulars..... stupid me just had a phone call from earlier though from a woman who orders now and again asking about if you can return bras.. stupid me not thinking (cos i was cooking tea) goes "yeah course you can. Its best you order a few sizes and try them too and then i'll just charge you for the ones you keep" ..... didnt think until i put the phone down that ive just set myself up to leave her with lots of goods (depending on how many she orders) without her paying for them!! DOH!!!!!!!

    i had some replacements come by RM 2 weeks ago

    Yeah immediate replacements will come by post unless they are too heavy or contain an aerosol as they can't be sent by RM.

    Well, one of the ladies at work who has been a rep FOREVER has quit Avon and asked me for a book today to order from me :j some of her regulars have already had books of me recently so assumed she'd quit and hopefully a few more of her customers will become mine soon too :D

    Current C9 order £303, 5 days to go xx

    Thanks for that Melvis! Didn't know anything about that.

    Very quiet these days on here. Everyone busy enjoying the sunshine and making lots of sales?

    Me, I am attempting to go to work and end up possibly breaking my nose on the pavement! Spent 4 hours in A&E today and have to go back next week when swelling has gone down to find out if I have broken it!

    Hope my customers feel sorry for me and buy from me!


    Oh no!! Hope you feel better soon xxx

    oh no aureol hope you haven't broken your nose!!

    I too have had a rubbish day fiver, dropped lots of campaign 9 books off and only had 2 tiny orders :( One was a new customer so that was good news :).

    Was sent some samples of the U Ungaro for men with my last order so have given those to my regular customers in the hope that they buy for Father's Day!!

    I have also put a note with each brochure pointing out offers etc but had hardly any takers so far. Fingers crossed I pick up some orders tomorrow.

    bye for now

    Ouch Ouch OUCH!!!!! Oh, I do feel for you Aureol having kissed the pavement myself a while back. Was it just your face or did you do any other damage? I hope not :grouphug:

    Yeah - all out for the sympathy vote. There has to be a bright side somewhere ;)

    Hope you soon feel better x

    Ripped up one of my knees pretty good too, scabbed the other one a little, and if you have a look on facebook, nice cuts on face and we shall see next week about broken nose...lol.

    Very sore now, heading off to bed in a minute. Unfortunately, cannot rest like everyone is advising. No time, have to work for the money, but good news having free haircut friday morning, so at least my hair will look pretty :)

    Thank you everyone for your good wishes :) . For those of you not doing too well with C10, think you will do better with C11, lots of bargains in there!
