I think I am tired of it all. but will use this weekend to write CV etc.
as far as money goes, I was ok until I realised I have lost 45 quid on Avon.
I am so furious with myself.
thanks for asking Stuntman.
glad it is going well with blondie!

thank you as well Mum of two, I don't here very often but everyone is so nice I can't believe! especially after this week!

you're welcome for the asking Buffy, we're all family on here arent we? Joined together by our general insanity..... lol :rotfl::rotfl:
Can you not put your c.v on Monster.com or anything like that too? I loathe my job too sometimes and am looking at training to get out of it. I know money does count, but i think being happy in your job is important too.
Blondie is fine and things are going well, thanks for asking!I am one of the 63336.'It is better to have lived one day as a tiger than a thousand years as a sheep.'

hey Buffy, sorry to hear you had crap week....have to admit both times I have done AVON, I have ended up owning them money as I kept buying extra products for myself or would have a lean month and have bought loads of books or something. TBH, I found it a great big pain in the butt. Would party planning perhaps be something better?? Never done it myself but my neighbour seems to make loads.
Mumzy - Quite surprised you got into trouble re benefits and Avon...I thought you were allowed to earn £20 a week on income support anyway. Thats £60 profit a book???? I never informed them when i did it (due to when i did something slightly different and they got fed up of me going in every week to describe the £8 or £22 I made - the essentially told me to stop being so stupid and i was making things harder for myself as my claim had to be evaluated every week and most weeks i had to chase them for money!!) I know things are a lot tighter now but you might want to check the weekly allowance for your individual circumstances.
On the sealed pot topic....i need to get mine sealed as keep dipping into it!! Going to do last paper mache layer tomorrow (I know i have been saying that since xmas but i will, promise!!)DFW 228 LONG H 68

Mummyof two - I lost it cos I was meant to send my returns back before Christmas, but the delievery guy came on the different day and I wasn't there. So I was meant to return it with campaign 1 but essentially stinky foul work was doing its stinky foul best screw up my life and I let it and I didn't submit an order and NOW it is too late. I wish I could resell it but since my customer base is tiny and they returned the goods its unlikely!
I might have a look on e bay and see what prices things go for....
Angelflower, I live with Mum so having a party is a bit difficult, she is going away in Feb so I might try something then, I might even look in to doing something like Betterware alongside Avon and have a big party!!!
thanks again you guys,xx

Another 27p added to the pot for me (found while tidying the kids rooms!)
I sat last night and read through mumoftwins' threads and to be honest its scared the life out of me and i hardly slept lastnight (we have someone representing the mortgage co coming on tues to see if they should start down the repo route)
I hope MOT gets sorted quickly and the council do something to help (grow a concience or something!!) Win £2012 in 2012 challenge 0/2012
