    ooooo I just collecting in my books, 2 more orders from new houses i dropped to, 1 other that said next time so thats 2 next times, and a few more that only want books at christmas time. and 1 lady was a complete snobby cow! (I'm sorry for any other snobby cows on ere, But I'm sure you get the idea what i mean, as if my avon brochure had contaminated her home lol)
    So far i have 15 orders, not huge orders but enough to get me over HOV! still got 1 order to deliver later, so no doubt they will have an order for me too, and my other halfs mum ALWAYS orders, but she hasnt had her last one delivered yet, as she has been away. So tonight I'll rebag up all those books and get them out again!

    Hi all. Got an email today to confirm that I had got a place to the Avon world Tour. Unfortunatly wont be able to go now coz of my job. Gutted :(

    And me, it is my own fault - I should have taken more notice of the date, and the day of the week! Its our financial year end, and no sales staff are allowed any holiday in March. I might have got away with it at the start of March, but 3 days before year end? Mmm, I think not.

    Have emailed them to let them know they can release my place to another lucky girlie!

    I ordered some in my last campaign, they are now the plastic bottles and don't look as good in my opinion either :( They need to update their book picture as well - it's still the metallic bottle in book 7!

    Same here - and they used to be boxed too. Look cheap and nasty now.

    Good news thats made me smile all morning - one of my regulars who didn't think they were able to conceive found out at Christmas that they are pregnant... with twins :j

    Might reduce their disposable income which is bad news for me but just sooooo pleased for them. Lovely couple.

    Hi all,

    Just had one annoying old man, answered the door and I asked for the book. He said oh I gave it away to my friend who does that sort of thing. I said "well I need the book back so who did you give it to?" and he went on about how he gave it to his friend who does Avon etc etc and he doesn't have it! grrrrr! needless to say he is crossed off the list for next time. And as for the Avon rep he gave it to, they should know that I need it back too.... :(

    But on a plus note! doing better with my first campaign, over the HOV now which is great :D

    and got one more street to do plus at least three books to get back in which will have orders in.

    Oh dear, yes, as you say the rep will know that you need your book back even if he didn't. On the other hand, the other rep may email you to let you know they picked up your book in error? Happened to me once; I was getting ready to 'battle' but turned out to be an honest mistake and we actually help each other out now with our Avon businesses.

    Well done for achieving HOV; keep up the good work.:T

    I now recommend to all newbies that they order the rep bag with the special code when they sign up i.e. so they get the free samples and the charge is staggered £5 in your 2nd camp and £5 in your 3rd camp. You only get the opportunity to order it in your first two camps though. Looks the part but I :heart: a bargain and not sure I'd pay £10 for it without the samples.

    At the beginning I used to use one of the large plastic Avon carrier bags, which are quite strong (and/or have even lugged an Avon box around) to 'advertise' I was an Avon Lady :rotfl: I now just stick to wearing my Avon T-shirt that I ordered from Vistaprint.

    My SL showed me this leaflet and said "well you probably won't be interested" so I never got it! I think it was cos I said I just wanted to earn a few extra quid so she took everything to mean that I wasn't really interested.
