    Wow quiet day on this thread!! Hope everyone ok in this rubbish weather? We have escaped the worst of it, but run out of heating oil. The boiler is ancient and the so called service wasn't done and it's eating over £30 a week in oil :eek:. The cheeky plumber billed the landlord for the service he didn't do as well :mad:. Have to wait for someone else to come out now.

    Hoping to have some new roads now too. Wish they'd let me know as would be very handy for short campaign to pick up a new customer or 2.

    :A
    Still looking for the plot...... Anyone seen it???

    was going to say the same thing about it being quite! thankfully we've got rid of the bloody snow, as had quite abit of rain so now more sliding round the corner!!

    more christmas shopping done today, after having to go and do some car stuff with the lovely OH, now chilling with a lovely glass of wine doing prep work!
    have had someone email me saying she cant afford to pay for her order, which is fine as it will come in handy for my stall!

    oh no I hope that you get your heating sorted out, know how you feel as heating wasnt working due to running out of oil, hopefully it gets sorted out quite quick for you, also good luck on getting new roads and hope you get a new customer or 2!!

    Thanks Chelsey. We have rain too, and the only worrying thing about that is when the temp drops during the night we will have far worse ice :( I prefer snow to ice! There are 2 good places for ice: in your drink and in your freezer. That's it! Not on the road, and not on the pavement. Grrr!

    Maybe you could offer customer to hold the order for her if it helps? After all if it sells on stall you can re-order for her and if it doesn't sell she can have it when she can pay (within reason obv!)

    very true about the ice, too dangerous!

    I have emailed her but havent heard back :( so im guessing she's read it and not gonna bother or she hasnt read it. thanks may do what you said about it not selling etc.
  • Oh no :( What a pain! I'm expecting the same to happen to me to be honest


    Did you write on them what each sample was or not?

    Nope. Didn't bother writing what they were. I figured people would rummage or ask if they wanted a particular one.

    Heating woes over here too! Something went bang in the boiler and then it started dripping even more than usual - had been on its last legs since about Feb this year. We could have got it fixed but it's a useless boiler so we're getting it replaced this week with a better one that doesn't have "On" or "Off" as its only settings. Reminds me of a line from Peep Show: "The least enjoyable way to spend £5000" - not spending nearly that much, though!

    Used mass texting today for the first time. Not that savvy with mobiles even though I'm fine with all other technology - just never had the need for them. The weather definitely effects whether people leave books out (even people who normally would). It either makes them forget or choose to keep it inside even though I provide bags. So I've sent a text to let people know I'm still coming and that books will be fine outside.

    Waiting on some immediate replacements. It'll be two weeks tomorrow since I ordered them. Don't know if it's Avon being busier at this time of year and/or the fact we had no post for a week.
    I used to have my Avon turnover (sales) here. They've been removed because it's not appropriate to talk about those kinds of sales as if they're realistic for a new Rep to aim for. :( I signed up at the right time, right place, and was very lucky.
  • Jut some info for anyone who might find it helpful - checked my invoice last night for my delivery for Tuesday, and it looks like the Francesca watch (C17 freebie) is still being replaced with a different one, and the "Prepare to party" bag is also now being replaced by a gold bag rather than black. The Christmas stockings and shower radio from the C18 book are showing as completely out of stock now.

    I looked at that in HT and it said to allow 6 weeks I think for delivery. Google them and see if you can get it elsewhere. they aren't much different in price to avon's 'offer' price. May be worth the happy customer, as you'll get the commission from her goods anyway.
