    no it was just your BOG :p standard one. But seeing as my DS put his foot through our old one (he decided he need to climb on it when the seat was down and his foot went straight through and into the toilet water :rotfl:) it did end up quite useful.

    Sounds promising about your order, I'm not due to put mine in for another week, so I hope I can get hold of everyone beforehand. I still have 2 outstanding - 1 on holiday and 1 who is never at home :mad:

    Funny...My DS is only three but did climb up the cistern the other week to investigate the air freshener which is on a shelf fairly high above it...nearly gave me a heart attack what with all the 'solvent abuse can kill!' warnings...he's fine though.

    Have you ordered any calling cards? They're only 60p per 100 and I find them really helpful. They're yellow, have all the avon bumf on the and say something like 'I called' and then a tick box to say 'to collect your order' or 'deliver your order' and then a space below for your message.

    I have started putting these through when I've missed people more than once with a message to say please contact me to arrange redelivery or request to return your goods by such and such a date. For ones where I've not managed to collect order/brochure I pop ones through with a pre printed label with contact details and 'text, phone and email orders welcome until 6pm' and then put the date I can wait until...this has proved pretty good.

    I never knew what they were so didn't want to order them just in case :o , but thanks for your recommendation, I'll order some in my next delivery. I had been printing some like that for collecting brochures but these ones sound better.

    I had planned to make my own too TM, but thought I'd order a pack just to see what they were and I don't think you shoudl reproduce your own for cheaper to be honest. They are good! They don't really give any indication though to what they might be.

    I have ordered the £60 business booster pack this campaign. I will post the contents if anyone's interested. Please let me know if you are as I don't want to type it all out for nowt lol

    Thank you, found them in HT so will make sure I order them as cutting out 30 of my ones was really time consuming.
    Would love to hear how your raffle goes. I was thinking of something similar, but as I'm only on my 3rd campaign Im just kind of seeing how it goes for a bit.
    Re the business booster pack - is it just samples? I would be interested to know what's in it apart from the samples. I got a load of samples with my starter kit and TBH they haven't really worked for me, well yet anyway.

    The starter kit was a bit pants, wasn't it? I have made good use of my bag though, I sold on my perfume and I usually put in a sample with my customers orders...they seem to appreciate them. I ordered a load of the true glow samples when they were cheap but that was a right palaver. I ordered 12 packs of 5, and they sent me 12 samples...ho hum. I called and let them know, and they sent out 11 more single samples, and then I decided to give up lol

    Sorry - re your question about the pack. it says it has tools, samples and products so I am hoping the tools are brushes, etc for when I start parties.

    I thought the starter kit was a bit rubbish too, i put a sample in with all my deliveries for my orders tho as a thanku and also a bit of a promo so will find out if they were useful at all.the calling cards are a good idea saves time and looks professional, only problem is ive got one woman left to drop an order to, she just happens to be the one who lives furthest away and didnt put a contact tel on her order and she never calls me back ARRRRRGH! so annoying! i gave her her free gift that she forgot to order too wish i had kept itmyself now! lol

    It's a nightmare isn't it? I mean if they don't want it, fair enough, just let us know!
