    are you sure yesterday was your delivery day? Was it on your invoice details? Have you checked your account if it was sent to the courier?

    Yep, I was right about everything, It was just the bloody delivery driver who ordered to 30 not 39!!!!!!

    Waited in all day for a package that was 2 floors below me from 10am yesterday!!!!!!

    Just glad its here now though! :cool:

    If anyone has trouble logging into the website (like I did, had to ring and get my password reset as I just couldn't get in) - don't use a bookmark or from a search engine, just type the Avon website address into the browser. Not technical enough to know why it makes a difference, but it did for some reason!

    Have decided to resign as Avon rep, not making enough money to justify spending the time on it. and have lost the momentum for it. DS is getting to old to drag around the territory, etc.

    You are one of the backbones of this thread, Aesop and is will be such a shame to see you go. You have answered questions and inspired many (myself included) even when we're finding it tough.

    We will so miss you :A

    Having said that, I think we could see it coming as recently you have not seen the results that you so richly deserved. Having seen you active on other threads, I have no doubt that you will find something more suitable for you and your family.

    I have a p/t evening job, avon, private care work, MS, ebay and a finger in one or two other pies - similar to you in some ways as trying to fit it all around DH, two teenagers and a 3 year old!

    We all wish you the very best of luck and hope you'll pass on any useful information to us when you find the job of your dreams :T

    I hope you will still drop by this thread. You're advice will be much wanted even after you finish, and you will definitely be missed if you vanish! Let's just win the euro millions and do what we like! No more worries :D
    Still looking for the plot...... Anyone seen it???

    Thank you ladies for your lovely words :) you have made me :cry: but :kisses3: for you all.

    I will miss this thread but will still read and pop in from time to time.

    Like Elliebee though, we have advice, but sadly as things progress our advice may get outdated.

    As Money Maker said I can be found posting on various other threads :rotfl: and I don't see that stopping.

    Good luck with the business Ladies and I hope to be reading about you in the newspapers one day ;) top Sales Leaders earning millions :D

    Yay, got another order in tonight! Only made about £40 on them both together so not earnt anything this time... but where there's two customers there will be more.

    Also ordered more books this time so I can cover more territory.
    Public appearances now involve clothing. Sorry, it's part of my bail conditions.

    aesop.... so sorry your leaving (i fear i shall not be far behind you though...) ..... youve been such a help to me and others over the time. i think there comes a point where you have to prioritise and work out the money vs time vs hassle equation and then make your decisions.

    on completely other note i have lost 5 customers this campaign....... not a happy bunny at all.

    Thanks Johanne. Funny I thought about you tonight and wondered how you were getting on.

    I think the clincher for me was when DS was waiting to go the park and we had to stay in and wait for a delivery. Once it had arrived, I said we can go to the park now and he was so excited, and then I remembered I needed to collect my books and deliver more...... and I just thought if I go to collect the books, then that cuts on the time he gets at the park. That is already cut down from waiting in all day for the delivery. And then I have to get back to make DH's dinner... that was the clincher.

    My DS is growing so fast and becoming so independent, I don't want to keep missing out on spending time with him because I have to work when I am not at the office job.

    Sorry to hear we're losing you Aesop - as others have said you are so full of inspiration and good ideas that I very much hope you'll join Elliebee is taking a "consultant" role! :D I can entirely understand where you're coming from though - as you say DS will only be that age once - perhaps once he's reached the point where he is old enough to entertain himself while you're out and about doing stuff then you might return to Avon - who knows!
