Woo-hoo shiny new thread! Cheers Aureol!

A Question!
Has anybody ordered and got one of the Oasis bangle watches? I had a customer order one and return it for a replacement as the catch didn't work - it didn't "catch". So the replacement has now arrived, and this one doesn't catch either.

Does it have a catch on it? Is it supposed to catch? Customer said it was uncomfortable to wear as it kept opening slightly and then catching her skin in it!!! And now I've seen the replacement I'm tending to agree ...

I got one when they were offered at £10 and not had a problem..... having said that, think I've only worn it once. Deffo not something for everyday use.

Hi Aureol,
Ignore private message, should have looked for new thread!

Hi everyone, shiny new thread whoohoo!

Does anyone know if toning fitflops are ok for dodgy heels? The sole part of my foot got damaged before from loose flipflops and 'clawing' my foot to keep them on. Finally ok to walk on but worried about the fitflops. Want to order the white or pink to demo. Wondering if pink will reappear in books..

Pink ones are sold out; they were last year's version and am guessing appeared in the current brochures because they had surplus stocks at time of print. They reduced them to £10 and, like the white ones, they fly out the door at that price. Anyone actually got a 4/5 pair for sale?

:wave: hi all! I have a lady (not sure if ASM or SL - I contacted her through the main website if that makes a difference?) coming to sign me up on Monday, I can't wait. Been ages since I had an Avon catalogue to read through, let alone the idea of meeting my neighbours and making a few bob! Very excited! :rotfl:

Welcome to Avon; hope you enjoy it. What county are you in?

Well done :T and thanks Aeriol for setting up a new thread but that's a huge amount of work on top of what you already have to cope with in your own life.

No great suggestions re. trying to do sign-ups with a child in tow other than (if he's at an age to understand, of course) that you need his help to.... earn money for... whatever is precious to him i.e. his tea, favourite toy, new clothes, etc. so maybe he could be 'grown up' and help you too by doing x,y,z (anything you can think of that he may like to do and which will help you - or not - maybe he's seen you filling out your order forms so you could give him some too and promise him 'commission'/a treat if he writes a certain mark on them, which will help 'this lady' sign up?

Used to have to take my child into work with me sometimes and I'd sit her down at a table with a typewriter (yes, am officially old), some pencils and crayons, etc.... and she'd pretend to be a 'mini-mummy'. Did have a bit of a problem one day though when she picked up the phone when my boss was on the other end..... :eek:

My ASM's details have now changed to 3 ASMs covering the same territory.... wonder what's going on. I know my ASM said she would be off for 2 weeks on personal reasons, then she said she would be off longer, due to an operation or something. Now yet another ASM....
