Great Idea Rae!:D
 
Mine would complain about taxes. He says yeah it's free but we still have to pay taxes on it! I am so glad taxes are over this year, because I literally want to move out during taxes.

Maybe there should be a support group for spouses of PC consultants. They could all sit around and complain about how their kitchens (and, honestly, several other rooms) have been taken over by PC products. :)

And my DH's favorite thing to say every time I get free stuff? "Why don't they just pay you more money instead of sending you more stuff?".....obviously he doesn't get it!
 
Explain to him that every free product that you earn could potentially make you more money by showing at shows so you will get money & products!!

I've tried! I've also tried telling him that earning it for free keeps me current, and then I don't have to spend any money upgrading or adding to my kit....but he is a "money in the hand" kinda guy!:rolleyes:
Don't get me wrong - he's pretty supportive...but seems to have this mental block in this area - he thinks I would get paid more if I didn't get free stuff in it's place....I just keep telling him that it's not in place of the money, it's in addition to the money!
 
Oh... then tell him that if he doesn't figure it out you have a pair of salad choppers with his name on them, LMAO!!

My DH doesn't even blink anymore when the Fedex guy comes. He always says "As long as I didn't pay for it!". I got my new consultant tote (FREE!) yesterday and my kids took turns riding in it! It is HUGE!

Congrats on earning the tote! BTW, YOU weren't pulling them around in it were you? I'm sure you're not supposed to be lifting too much....:p
 
They just sat in it, no pulling here! I can barely pick up toys off the floor- I would die trying to pull them!

You're talking about the Lorana Bobbit Salad Choppers I'm assuming?!:D
 
Oh yeah! I have threatened my DH with them a time or two. He feels the need to remind me everyday that I won't make Level 2 this year. I keep telling him that not only am I going to make it but I will bring someone else! He doesn't say as much when I am armed with my salad choppers!
