This is a picture from my mate Andy’s Blog on there travels around the world…

I seem to be ill al the while at the moment. Worked to the bone with disease infested work mates……So again I have a cold. Saturday I was shivering in bed with the cat, but still had to work sat night and all day Sunday. I think it is really starting to wear me down waitressing 20 hours on top of my 40 hour normal work week. I have a doughnut. And I am going to eat it. And its not lactose free.

I am really having a great time being and avon rep and sales leader. Its such a great way to earn extra money every three weeks. Being self employed as well as PAYE makes the books easier as I am used to it. Once thing they kinda don’t mention in the meetings is having to tell inland revenue about your extra income. Most Avon rep’s do not work other than Avon so they are usually under the tax barrier ANYWAY. I am fast making my way to around £75 from my patch and £125 from being a sales leader. So an extra £200 every three weeks approx..roughly an extra £3400 a year profit….suits me with a full time job. Some reps earn over £6000 in a year…..

Oh did i say £3400 profit in a way you thought I could spend it? Oh no….my £35K of debt will swallow that up in no time. But if I can keep the earning consistent, it takes off 11 months off my debt repayment scheme…..

13 things Red can’t live without and can’t get rid of either….

1. My addiction to the Avon Catelogue

2.My addiction to SEO for this damn blog, it is starting to look like a rag market of SEO!

3. My addiction to ebay, they might smite me but I come back for more!

4. My pink addiction - why? I blame my older sister.

5. My addiction to cats. Why do all the cats in the hood love me? I love them, and they know it. My cat knows it too and she gets so jealous.

6. My addiction to checking my phone for messages. My boy sends me around 40 a day, and I gladly reply, but when we are together why do I obsessively check my phone?

7. Blogrolls….I want to be on ALL OF THEM!

8. Natural Mineral Makeup - its so great, you can mix your own lip glosses and foundation creams with the powders!

9. Glitter. I have a glitter shaker and it gets everywhere. I highlight my cheeks with it, press it into my lipstick and just generally put it everywhere!

10. Shimmer - Everything must shimmer. It must! Damn the matt!

11. Fox’s Party Rings ( biscuits with colourful icing for US readers) so much sugar….must eat them all….

12. Making money. I am 35K in the red so it is understandable but this is ridiculous. I am surprised I have not put a paypal donate button on the blog yet. Do those work?

13. Dresses. At the moment Maxi Dresses. I have two but I want MORE!
