    hi MarsdenCockoo, yes my SL did tell me all about creative ordering. I was left a book from the previous campaigns and the current one so I can see how it all works.

    I'm sure it'll be fine and hopefully friends and family will give me some support.

    I'm glad I'm not the only newbie on here at least we're all in the same boat!

    thanks ladies

    Am in the same boat - have put two really big orders in so I've ended up paying upfront for quite a lot of stuff.

    The organisers asked me to concentrate on jewellry but just found out that 37 unspecified items are no longer available in addition to 20-30 other items actually specified that are missing too so not sure how much jewellry am actually now going to be able to take! Oh, I was really pleased to be able to order the free nail varnish sets as I've offered free gifts for anyone ordering over £10 and thought they would be perfect. Unfortunately, they're out of stock too - 'thanks' Avon! :(

    It really annoys me when they do that they never have what I want.

    MC - Just had a call from Betterware, they are coming to see me on Friday.

    Thank you, I am sure I wouldn't have received a call if it wasn't for you xx

    Hi inaminute, I started with Avon just last week and have only managed to canvass one street out of the three I have been allocated so far. Anyway, got 5 orders from there with two more to come, and nearly hit MOV from just these so I would say there is defo potential with your territory - I'm really pleased so far. No panicking allowed!
  • ARGHHHH just found out today that one of my friends who I gave a book to had made an order and asked her daughter to pop it through my door. Turns out her daughter put it through her old avon lady's door!!!! Am quite annoyed coz obviously the order form would have had my details on but this other rep hasn't called or anything so has blatently poached my order!! I don't know if it was a big order or not but it's not really point!!

    oh dear ladies. Sitting here trying to catch up.

    I am supposed to be going in tomorrow to agree days, pay, etc but my childminder can't take DS at all this week, my friend, who I was hoping could take him, has a job interview.

    She asked me if there was no one else I could ask and I was like "yes! but they all live so far away from me!" I am trying to see if another friend will take him on Friday, and if she can't I will have to tell the company it will have to be monday.

    I hope they don't think I am messing them around. It's just because it is such short notice and with tax credits messing me around, DS hasn't been going to childminder regularly.

    Sophisoph, yes it's me! LOL, I did put a message to say that, did it not come through?

    yummymummy, that is so annoying! grrrrr.
