ty ia, any ideas on avon anyone? advice appreciated!!

sweetpeas_2

soz mm, forgot to mention about avon earlier! he he.
i did it for a few months a while back. i can barely remember now like but ill try my best!
the woman came round asked me if i wanted to cover an area or just do family/friends. you get commission, so obviously if you can cover a few streets aswell its better for you.
i think it was 1 rate of commission for under £100 in sales and a higher rate for orders over £100. something like that anyway.
but ill be honest i never seemed to make much! and i felt like i was always pestering family and friends to place orders. in truth, its not as much of a money maker as you might think, and i personally wouldnt do it again. i seem to rememeber that after the first visit from the woman, i had to pay for my own books. then you have to get rid of them yourself aswell and dont get any money back for returning them or owt. i thought it was a bit of a waste of time to be honest. plus, i wasnt working at the time, so i had plenty time to deal with it. it was just waaay too much hassel!

just wondering about your council tax, mm. has it been summonsed or anything yet or is it just in arrears? i used to have a bit of council tax experience (booo...hiiiissss....), my experience was actually in council tax benefit/housing benefit claims, and recovery, but i did get a bit of knowledge while there. just wondering what your otions are as far as getting straight thats all.

madmoney_2

thanks nog, ill give it a miss then, with regards to the council tax, we had a dd set up for it in the old house but as we moved they obviously cancelled it and i have to set it up again, but with the move n everything we have been skint, so not paid it for 3 months, im aiming to pay it off at the end of the month with hubbys wages, hopefully that shud keep them off my back!!! yeah i wanna know what the grass roots thingy is aswell!!! xxx

sweetpeas_2

sure toon, its a mytsery shopping site, if you go on google and put grass roots mystery shoping in youll find it. you need to register (only takes two mins)
then they email you whenever assignments come up in your area. you get between like £8-£15 for each assignment and they pay you in a lump once a month or so. its a nice little thing to do if youve got aloot of shops in your area, and loads come up around christmas time.
most regular ones to come up are like disney store, new look, virgin megastore etc.

hope this helps toon!
