Thank you, thank you - you're a star!!!:T And I am dumb lol not only I had no idea of creative ordering before I came onto this site but also would never thought I can do it forward (returning 'unwanted' ones). I assume this cannot be done too often - does the Big Brother watch?:rotfl:

I have emailed new ASM twice asking to check my streets and with other queries - so far not even an acknowledgement, apart from a very general 1st eamil: hello, I am your new ASM blah, blah and am looking forward to meeting all of you.
I also emailed to say I have not ordered c2 books as I was planning to skim a campain but after seeing a draw for 1 year mortgage, etc. I had my regrets - I'm sure I could just push for MOV in c2 but with no books it will be difficult. I asked her to keep me in mind in case she ends up having some books left over... Oh, well, thought it was worth a try.

You're v welcome; as you say, just be careful and don't abuse it. Good idea to keep your paperwork as back-up if needs be.

Try emailing your ASM again with 'Please Read - Help Needed!' in the subject heading. DSMs/ASMs get so many emails they are easily overlooked - certainly in our part of the world the 'Please Read...' tip helps.

Failing that, are there any other reps near you that you could maybe ask to buy a few spare books from? To qualify for the competition, I think, you only need to reach MOV (think I'd better check on that though) + you could still use your C1 books to place a C2 order.... There should be a link on the first page of this thread too and, of course, you can always use the virtual book available to add to your FB page.

Hope that helps.

Thanks MC. Xmas should be sweet, it always is...

The leggings were the body illusion leopard print size 18/20 & they are tiny. You'd have to be pretty slim already to shoe horn yourself into them, so she's going for another type.

Thanks for the tip; sounds like the sparkly tops/vests then.... they're so tight I could hardly breathe - am a size 14 but even the 18/20 was too small.

Additional order discount - all levels of PC get their regular order discount carried over to any additionals, but for everyone else an additional means reaching MOV or HOV from scratch.

Silver and Gold get the £2.50 p+p charge waived, but Bronze don't.

Thanks IG that must have been what I was thinking off, the delivery charge :rotfl:

Wow! Quiet here! Are we all busy getting ready for Xmas?! C1 goes in for me tomorrow evening, and my next order doesn't go in until the New year. Feels like holidays!! The short campaign has made the normal one seem huge! I'm hoping it's a good selling point for this one, that New Year sounds ages away.
Xmas Markets were rubbish, lots of returns hoping for some reasonable sales though. Got to keep my status up, and would like to make PC this year

Got my third consecutive large delivery on friday. Trouble is I've not been well & feel physically weak & the thought of getting it all delivered feels daunting. Plus we might be experiencing a major storm on friday here in the south east.

My lovely BF is a great support though & will help. Sorry to sound a bit dreary, but I could have done with light delivery this time around.

Do hope everyone else is doing well & not feeling stressed about xmas. Lovely sunny day here....

Could you not contact your customers and let them know that deliveries may be delayed over the weekend? I doubt people will mind, and takes the pressure off you a little. Some of mine are so well trained now that they collect their orders if they are passing!!!

Thanks for the suggestion MM. I'd rather get it done when BF is around on friday. We don't live together & next week I'd have to get it all done alone. I'm sure it'll be fine & I should be a little stronger by then.

Ah, I see. A little different in those circumstances. I know what you mean, OH works away so I do as much as I can when he is home. Hope you feel better

Anyone else not received any sale books for C1?? Think it's a bit rubbish of avon to not provide them to some reps.....

I had mine but to be honest they were really poor, and with the last couple of sales books I've had loads of OOS items, so first time ever I didn't use them.
