    I hope the new mindee settles in, always helpful when they know one of the other children.

    Good news on another payment to Hally and the orders for Avon.

    Hope you've had a good day, H x

    I've been doing it for 7 years now :eek: it was hard to start with and I'm very lucky with my regular customers but now it's proper taken off as two reps have quit so I've gained about 5 new customers with this book alone and I've gained at least one new customer with every book in the last 3/4 months so I'm very lucky

    Why don't you look into doing it hidden???? I normally split the money down the middle and half goes towards the debts and the other half we do something with the kids xx

    This book will be paying for the boys trampoline session for their birthday :T so I'm grateful I don't need to scramble for the money as it's £55 :eek: plus £10 on special socks :mad:

    I'm not sure I know enough to make it worthwhile plus its erm not a very nice area here :rotfl:

    I usually order from online now.

    You should be proud, you do really well at it!

    Well this just happened.................




    The business venture my hubby hoped to have but it fell through last week well on Thursday we had a phone call to say circumstances for the other people had changed and would be wanted to take over a full garage :eek:

    It's a joint business venture with his friend so we are now £3000 more in debt :eek: and as of 14th August hubby will be knocking his pan in and for the first couple of month we won't have a guaranteed income :eek: coming from bob

    We've sat down and worked out all our outgoings and income from my work and tax credits and child benefit but we will manage.............just

    So it's quite scary very scary I'm not lying but this is hubby's dream and he supported me when I started my childminding now it's my turn to return the favour xx
