And can I say once again Avon Connects is rubbish! I have asked my group, who is our ASM, 4 views and not a single reply!

I see there is a message on the reps website today:

Avon Connects in Hello Tomorrow 3, Page 41

Please note that the Avon Connects site will be promoted in Brochure 5 2011 and not Brochure 4 2011 as stated.


Well that will give them a little bit more time to sort it out before we let our customers loose on it!!!!!! Is it enough time though, I wonder .... ? !!

don't think most of my customers will bother with it.

I'm trying to motivate myself to go out and deliver books and go and do a delivery. Haven't even got the heating on in the house, so it is cold, so no excuse for staying in, just don't want to go back out again...

LOL - we haven't put our heating on yet. OH was cold last night so we decided we'd put it on today, but then this morning it was warmer again!!! I will probably be there on the sofa again tonight in my snuggle books and under my throw!

PS HT coming with campaign 1 delivery has a Country Rose snuggle blanket! I hate the term Slanket, but it seems this is what it is - a remote control pocket and a pocket at the bottom to put your feet in!!!! Lets hope they don't have stock problems, so it ends up turning up in June.

Hmmm yes I was thinking the other week about giving my customers access to the books online via Avon Connects, but then I thought they will undoubtably forget to look at it - when its there on the coffee table during Corrie they cannot forget!

Might use the blog to update them on products coming up and to do promotions or something. Am leaving it well alone at the moment though, it all still seems a confused mess.

i feel it's rude to go knocking on doors in the evenings or around dinnertime.

I am always knocking when people have just got in from work or during dinner time as I'm going round between 5:30pm and 7:30pm at the moment, and no later as it is so bloomin' dark. I am very polite and don't keep anyone talking - so far so good nobody has taken the hump, and if they do then they should have just left the book out!!

OH dear ...

Plant Spa Face Mask Gift Set - Important Information

Through Avon’s rigorous quality assurance procedures it has been detected that there has been a mistake in the filling of one of the products in the Planet Spa Face Mask Gift Set. The Planet Spa Japanese Sake & Rice Smoothing Face Mask sachets actually contain Planet Spa Japanese Sake & Rice Body Polish & Wash. The product included in this sachet is perfectly safe and has been manufactured in line with Avon’s high standards and can be used safely as a Body Wash.
As the Body Polish & Wash contains different ingredients to the Face Mask and as we know that it’s important for some of our customers to avoid using certain ingredients to which they may be sensitive, as a precaution we ask you to immediately destroy all the products in the gift set.
We will be sending you a replacement complete Planet Spa Face Mask Gift Set as soon as stock is available. We are confident this will be before Christmas and will keep you updated via the Representative website.
Avon apologises for any inconvenience this may cause and remains committed to delivering a high quality service to our valued Representatives and customers.


I think, Avon, that you are referring to Planet Spa, not Plant Spa.

I have ordered one of these from HT as it looked nice, however the box it turns up in is not as nice as the one in HT and pretty disappointing so it was going back anyway!! Think I'll hold off though for a bit to see if the nicer box turns up in the replacement ...

well in my house, me and DS happy to wear clothes, socks, and if sitting still for too long, blanket or a throw or pashmina.

DH.... wants to walk around the house naked and wants heating on, I say to him, no, put clothes on, socks, trousers, and jumper. Then if you are still cold, will put heating on. He says why should he, it is his house and if he wants to walk around naked, he will. I say, yes, but when you tell me and DS for still being in PJs at 12pm..... why shouldn't we stay in PJs? Because you answer the door and if someone comes round unexpectedly it looks bad.

So you answer the blooming door! No, I don't answer doors in this house!

My answer? don't put the heating on. He can blooming well put clothes on! Only if it is still really cold, I will put it on.

ah but didn't they say something about the sachets don't come in the box or look like the presentation in the book?

They really need me to work for them with proof reading! I can do it from home and don't charge unreasonably!

Oh well I must have missed that bit - doh!! Box is a most disappointing greyish colour.
