    Well done on chipping away at hubby's card, I admire your determination.

    You always sound so busy, do you ever sit still 🤣

    Sounds like a busy day. Half way through this years debt target is amazing. We are in March!! Although it might be some months before any normality returns. x
    September 2017 Debt = £25330

    Starting afresh.

    You can do anything if you put your mind to it. x

    That's so true niknak.....wonder what our new normal will be.

    I do sit down about 8pm / 9pm and watch a program before bed just bust busy during the day

    Managed to get the tripos of the tee pee set up and the base had to stop as drill which i was using to put the screws in the base ran out but I'm halfway building it, its huge but the kids will love it.

    submitted my Avon order wasn't expecting much due to the current climate but we managed to collect £695 in orders plus i had an additional £60 worth out of stock so not too bad we make £171 in commission so I'm delighted this will go towards the hubby's card and the savings to boost them up a bit incase we need them .......trying to be sensible xx

    right off to chill out hubby before bedtime xx

    hope everyone is staying safe x

    That is an amazing order. I wonder how it will go, some people will be cutting back totally, but others being paid might be buying.

    If some people can’t go out there may be an increase in orders 😊
    Enjoy the weekend xx

    That's an amazing Avon order.  I hope you continue to do well, something good has to come out of this crisis. I think a lot of businesses will have to be enterprising to get by.

    Like you I usually get to sit down between 8pm and 9pm but I often fall asleep and end up missing programmes I wanted to watch which is annoying.

    I'm glad you'll still have some money coming in.
    That's amazing you are nearly half way and it's only March!

    I messaged all my customers that I had received a order the week before from and they all still wanted their orders.  If it comes to it, it can be returned so no issue but I've told all customers that orders need to be paid via paypal or bank transfer and the order will be left at the front step and we will stand back and make sure they take their order in plus we have been wearing gloves on our rounds too xx
