    Hi Abba

    Wahoo the £1k mark, I bet that feels fantastic, well done you xxxx

    I hope you enjoyed your pizza xx
  • Hi Abba thought i'd pop over and say hi :wave:

    Well done on hitting the £1000 mark!! :j:j:j

    I can't wait to hit a big figure i'll be jumping for joy lol!

    I was thinking of doing Avon here, but the last time i did it when my eldest was a baby, i ended up spending more than i made :o which kind of defeated the object of doing it lol so i gave up :rotfl:

    Hoppe you've had a lovely valentines! Mine has been good even if it has been alone lol

    well we didn't go to pizza hut as my gran took us all to a chinese buffet lol so we're leaving it for tomorrow after play area....need to knackered them out lol

    I'm quite shocked i've hit the 1k already just goes to show i can do it x

    I'm ok with the avon lol i love the clearance section and will occasionally order the rings for liek £2 but my willpower seems to be ok plus if you get the offers like spend £10 get something free ans i have three customers who have only bought 1 item each but they add up to a tenner then i collect the freebie lol

    my only gripe at the moment is the big orders people put in which i'm grateful for btw just the muck me about paying it, i've to get a payment for £35 for tomorrow (she says fingers crossed) and another two for £20 and £25.....need to get my avon paid by Thursday otherwise i get a fine which i won't be happy with x

  • Yeah that was another reason why i gave it up, I used to have a pretty wealthy area where i think the customers used to feel sorry for me lol :rotfl: ...single mum pushing baby round in the pouring rain-always rained when i did my rounds! And i used to have some huge houses up on a HUGE hill :eek: my god no wonder i was so skinny back then!

    Anyway they used to put in orders for £20+ each time, but i'm not so sure they were ever desperate for their orders as only 3 ladies ever used to pay on time! And the rest (probably a good dozen or so) i'd be chasing for days/weeks, and considering i had to walk up that damned hill everytime just on the off chance they were in -well i gave it up after about 6 months lol! :rotfl:

    But i can drive now so maybe i should give it another go and besides there are no hills around here! And i do miss the clearance catalogues :cool:

    we've been doing it since august...the commission i get gets spent on the kids ie wee days out, out for dinner, cinema so i'm trying to show them they need to work hard to get money lol and they enjoy it plus they got the cute factor when collecting the catalogues.

    My rep just got in touch saying she has a massive pile of catalogues from previous season so i've said i'll take them and i'll canvass the road behind me as she's finally got round to allocating me a new road lol so hopefully get another few customers. we do not bad probably bringing in £40 per book so it's £40 treat money I don't have to find x

    Hi Abba

    My surveys have gone well today as well, I need to sign up for a few more though.

    Ironing :mad: My DD and DS wear white shirts and blouses to school so thats 10 of those to do before I even start on DHs 5 work shirts. I would love to be one of those people that just folds everything and doesn't iron but I'm just not!

    Hope you've had a good shift at work xxx

    made £4.50 selling a couple of tops on facebook ro my neighbour lmao :j

    needed to get new trousers for work and in case I get interviews as I hate the ones I have as they're baggy at the crotch lol so nipped into marks and spencers (where i never ever shop) and found a lovely pair which fitted me perfectly and they were only...............................£12 :eek: bargain lol

    got to go to work tonight 2.30 til 11 but I'm going to have a word with my work as they're constantly changing my shifts and they've now decided to add on 6 more days a month on which is a no no as they're all backshifts so i'm gonna see where i stand in refusing to do these shifts as one of the part timers has left and they expect me and another girl to pick up the slack which is unfair x :(

    Today my DD came out for my car so i've now paid off £1147.50 off in less than 2 months..........think what i could have spent that money on!!!!!!!

    anyway today i'm going to see a friend and her two kiddies, not seen her for six months so taking the kids to mcdonalds :j then off to mr A to get one of there pizzas, we're coming home and having a pinic in front of the TV as iron man 2 got delivered from ebay yesterday :T

    tomorrow i'm taking the kids to see gnomeo and JUliet but using the avon commission for that day out so don't need to find it thank god lol

    bad news is I gained a pound this week as i went mental at the chinese buffet on monday and the pizza hut buffet on tuesday :rotfl: so had i not reigned the stuffing of my face in it could have been at lot worse, plus i'm drinking more water which tbh is probably a shock to my system :rotfl: as i love my fizzy juice lol
