26 November

Last week I held three parties, and they were all such a contrast! On Wednesday I held a "normal" party, where I showed the DVD, displayed the products, and 12 guests shared mince pies and a few glasses of wine. I didn't get away until 11pm, but had a good collection of orders.

On Friday I went to a Host who was passed to me by my Manager. Friday's weather was appalling and quite a number of Guests had called off. When I got there, I discovered that the Host and her best friend had lived in the same part of South London that I came from, and we even shared the same Church!

We all sat and talked, I took good orders, and we finished off by singing karaoke together! In the Catalogue it says "make new friends" and that is just what happened. I now have two new friends, in contact by Facebook already.

On Saturday my eldest daughter came back from college and we all sat together buying the Christmas presents for the in-laws and family members from the Catalogue. I can't tell you what we ordered, just in case my sister looks here and finds out! These orders have now been delivered, and they will be great come Christmas Day.

This week I have two more parties and can only guess as to how they will turn out but I'm sure that with the products I have in my kit, the guests will all be impressed with the product range. The Catalogue is really helpful, but there is nothing like actually seeing the products in real life.

I've already started getting bookings for January, and can't wait to see the new products. I expect to start next year's parties really early - who says January is a quiet month!

I only have a couple of weeks to go before I have been partying for three months. It's gone so quickly, and I am 100% confident that I will hit my targets for a free kit. Keep up the parties, and let's have a cracking Christmas.
