Well, getting myself ready for tomorrow. Our first big fund raising day for Avon Cancer Crusade. We have a stall in one of our towns, have the drinking bottles, bags, nail files and pins, balloons (had to phone to order another 200) we've bought a table and gazebo. Managed to get some proper collection boxes instead of the cardboard ones. Got a handfull of sticky label badges (poor show really) so wish me luck with my £1000 target! Got the local paper coming to take a photo too. <snipped a large bit>

Are you doing this on your own or with your ASM?

I've also heard that Kissing Walls are good - where you get people to "kiss the wall" donate some money (or £1 = breast cancer pin) and leave their name/number for a prize draw at the end.

Good Luck - you won't need luck - you'll be fab

brown_suga - sorry hun checked and ive only got the clearskin prof scrub and the normal clearskin blemish gel.. (note to self stock up on the prof range in c12!)

there is a seller on ebay offering all 3.. but its nearly £12 which is much more than if would be in C12. you could try ringing customer service and seeing if they will add it at their end to your c11.. if not and if you can wait 2 weeks i can get my c12 delivery then and can order it for you.

I've just done my order without checking here first - doh!
I might give customer services a ring, I hate ringing them though, your just on hold forever!

Thank you!

I'm planning to run an Avon sale table at my Son fete at his nursery, but I need some help with ideas.

My main problems are that it is on the 17th, I only found out about the date after my last campaign order went through so not sure if I have enough stuff..... Is their a special party pack you can buy?

It would be great to have a banner or something branded to dress the table with. I have loads of order forms and some avon pens. I plan to sell stock that I have and take orders from campaign 12. I have some testers and some samples left, but don't think it is enough.

Is thier any ideas you can pass on or know how can get some additional things in time..... :eek:

To be honest you are better with demo stock rather than the "Bargain bags" - as it's a local nursery and your son goes there - you can always order in the actual stock.

Banners - vinyl banners work well - they are also quite cheap (circa £20 max) try ebay - you can design your own. Vistaprint I think do them as well.

Get a pink tablecloth/sheet (or use a white table cloth with smaller pink cloth) Also, if you can get table risers too - to have some stock higher than others.

Hi Panetteb,

Where are you based out of interest? I too am having an Avon stall at my son's nursery on the 17th, and am panicking it is the same place? I know it's a long shot but just thought I'd check in case I need to have a rethink?

Some of you may remember last year I posted about my grandad being in hospital...well he's been in and out since last year, and he finally passed away this morning he was 86 and at least now he's at peace and with my grandma. Just feel guilty as I hadn't seen him in a while, but I'm sure he knows I love him.
Then we've had a phonecall from MIL - OH grandad has been in and out of hospital since march with kidney & breathing problems, they've now decided he has only 2 weeks left to live - but they told him this morning when no family there, and rang OH grandma and told her over the phone knowin she lives by herself!!!!!!!!! Why on earth not just tell her to her face, and see about telling grandad together.No way am I going that hospital if I'm ever ill, OH uncle died there, and now with his grandad - yesterday they were trying to take him for an xray in a wheelchair (he'd need to be taken on a bed)....then they realised they were trying to take the wrong person!!! How hard is it to check you're taking the right person!!!

So I think it'll be 2 funerals we'll be going to soon, rather than just one.

Thanks hon x Should be ok I think, I rather keep busy to keep my mind of things - we've been painting the garden fences this morning!

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Lozza)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))), so sorry to hear about both Grandads.

Where I live, we have a hospital with a very bad reputation and I insist on going elsewhere when it involves long term care, how shocking what they did to OH's Grandad and Grandma. You can complain at the highest level, the Chief Executive or whatever they have at the top of hospitals. I did at mine and a year later my file went missing.....

you're not going to be able to buy anything on line for guaranteed delivery next week from Avon.

Contact your ASM and tell her what you are doing, and ask if she has any promo stuff, ie samples and table banners. They usually have something. Good luck with it.
