Candle Party
Some people may think is she going crazy but no i am not!!!!
On Friday night i played host to about 20 lovely ladies for a Candle Party - yes ladies and gents you have heard it all now!
Ok so let me explain myself . . .
I am an Avon rep in my spare time (which for the past couple of weeks i haven't had much of).
I have made many plans to boom my business on the Avon side of things but somehow i always managed to get sidetracked! Not good!
So the Candle Party is kind of like an Avon party but a lady comes to your place and explains to your guests everything they need to know about different candles - there are Votives, Tealights (Everyone knows these!), Ball candles (i will tell you what i thought about these in a sec!), Pillar candles etc etc etc...
So she goes on with her hour long spiel and people listen as attentively as they can manage after 3 - 4 glasses of decent red, white and rose wine (choices ladies!).
She then starts handing out catalogues and all you can then here is the clinking of glasses hitting the floor and wallets flying open - this was quite good for me as i get a free gift if i sell over £165 i will get to my total in a minute!
So after the orders are written she then shrieks at my poor guests to "Hush!!!" - RAFFLE TIME!
Eyes down ladies and my auntie and her next door neighbour won both prizes! - Not fair but hey hey i got my free gift - out of all the orders the were placed the total was £240 - i was CHUFFED with myself for my presentation of cheesy balls and wine selection and entertainment to the children provided by my puppy!!!
Thanks to my little list above i can get a £50 free gift or voucher so i can safely say all creds to me!!
If all the above is waffle to you about what a candle party is click on this link - PartyLite.
I hope it all makes sense now - the lady that was the "Candle Expert" tried to talk me into being a consultant but my take on it was - i am struggling with my avon at the moment why load myself up like a pack horse with more!
So how have y'all been lately?
I hope good but if not keep ya head up - things will flow well
xXxS*BxXx
Added extras!!! - I did say that i was going to tell you about my take on the ball candles - well all i think is needed to be said is the expert lady told me that they come in pairs both have soft centres and one is smaller than the other!!!!!
(I almost wet myself!)
Nuff said!

A good read. . .
So the past 4 weeks have been nothing but almost hell or extremely close to that most horrible feeling.
Firstly after a blissful 7 days without the boss at work he came back.
This was not a nice experience as things had been running extra slick and smooth and he came and smashed down all of our nicely structured walls.
What i cannot grasp is who lets this monkey manage people - the whole organisation is corrupt and the couple of people that are in the position to change it just moan about it and make things worse.
The above pretty much explains what has been going on for the first two weeks of my disappearance - rectifying problems that were all good to start with but destroyed by a tosser.
Sorry for any profanities - should have given advanced warning!
The other half has been back and forward to the countryside so we have been living the country bumpkin quiet life for a while!
It has been quite nice to just sink into the background and chill out - as he is now in the forces and i don't see him much anymore when we do spend time together things are most defintely not as hyped as they used to be- we don't have much time for fighting about petty things anymore so we just enjoy each others company - we have been seeing films, taking walks very romantic chick flick!
When he goes back for the week i tend to just put my all into reading books, catching up with old friends and cooking - i have come to realise that you cannot microwave EVERYTHING!!!
(For the record - I CAN cook!)
Right moving onto what is going on now and just recently:
Over here in the UK there was some big scandal thing that hit the papers about how banks were overcharging their customers for going over their overdraft limit and have been doing so for the past 6 years - so it is chaos over here with everyone requesting their last 6 years of statements - i am sure we have demolished a VERY large rainforest by now (no jokes)
To get the statements in question you have to pay your bank a fee upto the MAX £10 - which i think is ridiculous as it is your personal information however their resources! (swings and roundabouts)
I have yet to see the statements that i have requested and paid my £5 for so i will definitely be updating on that soon!
SCANDALOUS THIEVES!
During the past week i have been doing some serious Ebaying - it is a bit like pringles i suppose "Once you pop you just cant stop" (That might just be a UK thing not sure!)
I won (paid for) a book "Shopaholic & Baby" i have been trying to get this book by Sophie Kinsella since it came out but i refuse to pay £17.99 so i got it off Ebay in mint condition for £7.20 which i think was quite an achievement and i bagged Mario Kart 64 - great condition haven't played it yet as the console is at his place!
Come to think of it i can't even play my X-Box as it packed up last week i think from lack of use and the amount of dust it collected but Mr Tech (other half) can sort that out.
I better get back to work lookin at the time and the pile of papers in front of me.
I started this yesterday and have to do some actual work for a while so if i can make sense of all of the above i will be back later today with the rest of my psychobabble!!!
***Back with a BANG!***
