~Avon Hints & Tips (Part 6) ~

I,_Geek

The Christian Lacroix Rouge and Noir, and Ungaro perfumes are back in C18. For £12 so you'd qualify for free nail polish, mascara and body lotion as well.

Just changed my Facebook set-up so Victoria's AVON has her own profile instead of a page tagged to my personal profile. Should have done this all along. I've requested a few of you already.

Sorry guys for what you are about to read..but I've had a really crappy day and need a whinge!

I'm in a panic about Avon, my first delivery comes tomorrow and I HAVE to get it all out tomorrow/Friday as I go away for a week on Sat and my invoice needs paying by 31st. I'm stressing in case it doesn't come til late!!
DH isn't being helpful by keep offering worst case scenarios and I have slammed the phone down on him twice :mad:
I cant deliver during the day as I work (which has been s!!!).
Then- to top it off, I locked me and DH in the house by accident ten mins before we had to pick DS up!! This resulted in a big argument with him going "you don't listen because all you care about is f******* AVON!" :eek:

I look like poo as I'm all puffy from crying and I should be out collecting books - hope people don't get mad at me, I'll have to go tomorrow. All I want to do is go to sleep - just remembered I haven't eaten!

Sorry - rant over x

Don't worry about the date it says on your invoice - you have until your next order is due in to get your balance paid - I always pay it on the night I submit my order so that gives you longer - I'd just bag it up before you go on holiday, then deliver when you get back x

I've already told people I'll deliver Thurs/Friday - I'm such a kn!!.

Ah ok - just take your time.

When I unpack my delivery, I unpack everything onto the kitchen table and group them into rough groups : make-up, shower gels/b.bath, hair stuff, jewellery, skincare.

Then it makes it a bit quicker checking off my invoice, I work down the list, find the items on the table and put them back into a box (again in the boxes I keep them roughly grouped). Then once everything is checked off I start bagging up orders. I bag them in the order I'll be delivering, they get put into a box with the street(s) name written onto the lid - makes it much quicker finding them in the car if you can easily see which streets orders are in which boxes.

OH says its a bit obsessive lol - but means I can sort & bag up all of orders within 3-4 hours - whereas the first delivery I sorted and bagged was for the half amount and took me just as long as I wasn't as organised, I'd be rummaging round in the boxes for items and then checking them off the invoice.

Thanks Lozza - think everything's just come at once and got on top of me. Feel like a chicken tikka kebab, bottle of wine and a bath - in no particular order lol!:rotfl:

Sounds like a good plan to me!
