    Grrrrrrrrrrrr am v.v.v annoyed. I asked my boss if I could go in a bit later today as I was waiting for the Avon delivery (I had some returns and didn't think it was fair to expect my neighbour who usually receives my deliveries to sort them out). Anyhoo delivery normally comes at 9.30 but still not here. I usually only work till lunchtime on a Thursday and now boss has called and told me not to come in today as he has got to go out this pm, meaning I have lost £30 wages waiting in for this stupid delivery. That's the last thing I need!

    MissyTheCat, do you have somewhere that you can leave your returns with your paperwork? Somewhere safeish rather than having to ask your neighbour?

    I have had to do this once because I work Tuesdays which is my delivery day. I left it in a place for the courier, left a note in an envelope on my door, telling the courier where it was and if he could sign my book and put it through the letterbox. Which he did for me. Or does your neighbour have a porch or something where you could leave your returns and ask the courier to collect and sign and put paperwork through your letterbox?

    And I am very sorry to hear you have lost £30 as you couldn't goto work. It is a lot of money :(

    Sorry not been on for ages and now just a quick post because mad busy at work grr.

    Treasure beads. I got the snake bracelet - I've got quite small wrists and its just about small enough for me if I don't use the extension bit at all. Think about ordering the rope bracelet if in doubt as its a cm smaller.

    I've got the 3 bead set and valentine bead, fish spacer and cat bead and it looks just fine. That little lot from HT cost me about £13 I think, and its about £21 to customers in C12 book (again, I think).

    Favourite is the 3 bead set, although the colours (particularly of the pink round bead) are much paler than in HT and in the C12 catalogue. Adore the green bead especially.

    Fish spacer is going back - don't know if I've bashed it or something but the silver plating seems to be coming off on one side. Have ordered the dog bead instead as the cat one seems fine.

    Valentine bead is going back as there seems to be some kind of coating on it which is peeling off?? Have ordered another one as I quite like it - will see how that one goes.

    OVERALL like it lots and have had a couple of nice comments.

    They look about the same size as pandora to me (subtly staring at colleagues wrist opposite me!) but your customer could always try and send back if not.

    Just waiting for Avon to bring out some more beads now!!! Anyone know if there are any more in C13 book?

    I don't think you can order the pink ones anymore, think they are just sending out blue ones now.

    I don't think there is, unless it is T&C on back, as I remember ordering both types once to see, and never noticed.
